A very knowledgeable guide, who provided a wealth of information and showed us a truly beautiful part of the city. It was great that everything was explained so clearly and effectively in Dutch. The Golden Horn tour is definitely recommended. So different from the highlights you can easily discover on your own. Fantastic!
