My name is Olmo and I am Dutchman. Tourism has been my profession for over 10 years, both in Amsterdam as well as abroad. I have traveled to many wonderful places and I've met people from all kinds of backgrounds and cultures. This has led to adopting the non-Dutch passions of dancing salsa and cooking.

Olmo was fantastic. He customized the tour for my children. He taught us interesting things about Dutch culture and Amsterdam that other guides donโ€™t. Thanks Olmo!
