Independent licensed guide in Amsterdam, history and culture addict, coffee lover, restless walker. It is a delight to share with you this experience carefully crafted over 8 years of my life in the heart of city.
PLEASE consider if you can really attend before making a reservation, and cancel your booking as soon as possible if you change your plans. The guide pays a fee for every person booked after the tour, and no-shows have a bad impact in my visibility as well. Besides you might be keeping the spot of another traveler.
ABOUT THE TOUR
An experience for culture and history lovers, with a good mix of storytelling and sightseeing, personal insight on what is it like to live in the heart of the city, curious facts and tailor made recommendations for all kinds of travelers!
I will share the good, the bad, the real Amsterdam. The chaotic streets of the Red Light, the most important historical sights in the center, and also some of the most beautiful places of Amsterdam.
IMPORTANT
All travelers are required to arrive at least 10 minutes earlier. After the tour starts, mobile communication with the guide will be scarce, as the group has his full attention.
Bookings larger than 4 people (family/ friends/ acquaintances) are not accepted on this tour, even if they have more than one different reservation. Making the reservation correctly is the traveler's responsibility. If the group exceeds the maximum number, the reservation will be canceled. Groups from 5 participants please contact us directly.
