Lawrence background in art and architecture makes him a perfect guide for Amsterdam. We walked, see and learn the city history from medieval times and first Canal to present. At the same time we found out where we can find the best chocolate place in Amsterdam or the place with beautiful Delft ceramics. We had a fabulous day with him.
