December virtual Amsterdam Light Festival and Haarlem Christmas market

This is where I go to get my fix... my Netherlands fix! I like taking virtual tours when I can't be there and there are two coming up in the Netherlands you might enjoy.

December 1, 12:00pm ET on Heygo.com - note: Heygo works on Chrome but not firefox
Amsterdam Light Festival by boat with Lee Deval (Thosedamboatguys) and Mark Law (Thatdamguide). I took this tour last year and it was marvelous!

Just wanted to share these tours if you love the Netherlands like we do. I'm not associated with Heygo or Beamz other than as a tour participant. Both sites are free to join and the tours are tip supported.

I just signed up with Heygo the other day, what a coincidence you mentioned them.

Suki - You're welcome. I'm excited to see what light installations are shown this year. Last year the tour was somewhat of a history treat as the backgrounds of the installations was explained.

Barbara - I love the tours as an outlet for boredom but also for the education most provide. I'm torn about Heygo vs Beamz. I did prefer Heygo as they have the quick snapshot feature and store your photos on their site but now Beamz has added that storage ability. However, it takes longer for the snapshot to process so quick multiple pictures are not yet a possibility. Beamz allows the tour guides to keep a larger percentage of the tips but that doesn't seem to equate with more tours on Beamz.
