We’ve lived in Amsterdam for 10 years and finally took the time to learn more about the fascinating history. The financial tour did not disappoint - learning about both the financial innovations of the Dutch, but also the uncomfortable truths in its history.
Thank you, Thijs, for the engaging tour!
