“I have been to Amsterdam a few times – a great city full of architecture and lots of history! I was total amazed walking round the red light district – it was a real eye opener, but you really can’t visit Amsterdam without seeing the area. Shopping in Amsterdam is great and price pretty reasonable. We ate in some amazing restaurants, a personal favourite of mine was a little Chinese just off Dam Square! One thing to be aware of is the “Bikes” god they really have right of way!” Gayle Gordon, Senior Leisure Travel Consultant
