    This tour was just perfect and Celine did a great job to match us to Paul who knew all the little shops we loved. The thing we loved about Amsterdam is how many independent shops they have. In the US we have so many chains and it just lifts your heart to see how creative and exciting a place can become when you let individuals come up with their own concepts and sell the things they love! The Dutch are really creative and we didn't consider Amsterdam as a shopping destination at first but after our trip around Europe we think Amsterdam had some of the best shops! We really recommend this tour!
