Yenta Tours geeft een gratis stadswandeling van Amsterdam Underground weg voor 2 personen!

Wij zijn enthousiast over de tours van Amsterdam Underground omdat ze op de eerste plaats informatief zijn. Daarnaast bieden de tours (ex-) dak- en thuislozen de mogelijkheid tot maatschappelijke participatie. Zij ontvangen een training, coaching, een telefoon en een kleine onkostenvergoeding. De wandelingen zijn bedoeld voor een ieder die wel eens wat meer wil weten over het straatleven in Amsterdam.

Wil jij een rondleiding op de Amsterdamse wallen en het persoonlijke verhaal horen van iemand die van dichtbij de booming heroïne en cocaïne handel in de jaren '80 heeft meegemaakt?
Stuur ons een pm. The lucky one is degene die het eerst reageert!
