Passionate about history, art, and storytelling, I love bringing the hidden stories of Amsterdam to life. With a background in heritage projects and a deep admiration for sacred places, I guide with both knowledge and heart. In my free time, I enjoy painting, exploring cities, and meeting new people from around the world!
I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Gary for several reasons. First of all, I was the only person who signed up for the tour and the tour went ahead. It was refreshing to see a tour operator taking on the big picture and building and protecting their brand by offering a tour and then when the number of attendees was low, still following through on their commitment. Next, I had already done three other tours around Amsterdam and was looking for a tour that would offer opportunities to experience highlights that were outside the main tourist highlights. Finally, I was wanting to tour that focused on the religious history and architecture of the city.
The title of the tour is exactly what to expect (sacred gems in the old city). The guide Gary, is very knowledgeable on how christianity shaped the young and growing city of Amsterdam back in the day. Amidst the many coffee shops and brothels Gary is able to paint a picture of when Amsterdam was more a holy place. Eventhough the tour covers religion it is very easy to follow as an atheist. I can highly recommend the tour. You get new insights on the great city of Amsterdam.
