HI! I'm Mirco, and for two years I've had the privilege of calling Amsterdam home. I moved here to work as a civil engineer, but after a year I realized it wasn't the right path for me. So, I decided to follow my true passion: tourism. Since then, I've immersed myself in studying the history and wonders of Amsterdam, and last year I led a fantastic bike tour to introduce visitors to the city. It was an incredible experience, but this year I wanted to offer something even more special. I created a free walking tour that allows you to explore Amsterdam at your own pace, immersing yourself in its unique history and incredible stories. Together, we will walk among its enchanting canals, discover its hidden corners and experience the city like true locals. I love sharing everything I've learned about Amsterdam and seeing people's excitement as they discover this amazing city. My goal is for you to have an authentic, fun and unforgettable experience. Join me on this walking adventure through Amsterdam, and discover with me the charm and stories that make this city so special. I can not wait to meet you!
Discover Amsterdam on Foot: A Journey into the History and Culture of the City
After the success of our bike tour last year, this year we invite you to explore Amsterdam differently with our exclusive walking tour.
Why Amsterdam?
Amsterdam is not only renowned for its picturesque canals, picturesque houses and unique charm. It is also known for its liberal culture, which ranges from tolerance towards marijuana to the famous Red Light District. These elements perfectly represent the pragmatic and liberal spirit that characterize Dutch culture.
However, Amsterdam, historically a city of merchants, is also a place steeped in history, marked by significant events such as the famous Golden Age and the Second World War, during which the moving story of Anne Frank is intertwined. It is a city where bicycles are an integral part of daily life and the characteristic houseboats add a unique touch to the urban landscape.
The tour
Starting from Dam Square, the historic heart of the city, our walk will take us through some of the most significant places in Amsterdam:
What to Expect
During the tour, we will make numerous short stops to admire and discuss various points of interest. Our goal is to offer you a complete and fascinating vision of the city, touching on historical, cultural, architectural, urban and religious aspects. Without delving too deeply, we will give you as complete a knowledge as possible of the stories and peculiarities of Amsterdam.
The walk will last about 3 hours, at a not particularly fast pace. At the third stop, the Bejinhof courtyard, if it is particularly crowded, you may have to wait a while to enter, which could prolong the tour by a few minutes. In cases where there are actually too many people or the tour time is not compatible with the opening of the courtyard, I will illustrate Bejinhof through photos, and you will still have the opportunity to visit it every day from 9.30 to 18.00.
Join us!
Discover the real Amsterdam with our walking tour. Start from Dam Square and end the journey with a new perspective on the city that never ceases to amaze. Reserve your place today!
The tour meeting point is located in Dam Square, in front of the Madame Tussauds building. I will wait for you next to the large metal pole located in that portion of the square, and I will be easily recognizable by my hat and my backpack. If it is necessary to move the meeting point due to the frequent demonstrations that animate Dam Square, we will inform you promptly.
Let's start with the heart of the city, which is one of the first places to be developed at the origin of Amsterdam.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
