ScreenTours guided tours have been specially prepared for you, a traveler eager for knowledge and experiences who wants to know and experience first-hand the reality of their destination, Amsterdam and the Netherlands. With an exceptional team, ScreenTours is fortunate to be able to offer you a unique, revealing and educational tour. The passion of our guides, together with their experience, will immerse you in the country from the first minute, showing you the triumphs and the darkest stages of its history. My name is Ana, creator of ScreenTours and your ambassador in the city of Amsterdam. The experience of a traveler, journalist and guide has taught me the importance of receiving history from various prisms in a city as complex as the Dutch capital. This city created the capitalist system in 1602, decriminalized homosexuality in 1811 and legalized prostitution in 2000. What better way to do it than on the ground, experiencing every corner like the authentic inhabitants of Amsterdam. ScreenTours will show you Amsterdam's past in order to contextualize its present.

Tour description

Have you ever wanted to walk through Amsterdam with Van Gogh and Banksy guiding you from a wall? On this Free Tour, we don't tell you the history of art... we'll take you inside it.

From the very first minute , you'll have your hands on the most iconic works , such as Rembrandt's self-portraits, Van Gogh's Sunflowers, or Kobra's Anna Frank mural, comparing them with the places that inspired them. It's not just a stroll; it's an open-air museum.

We start in the art district , surrounded by galleries, to meet the man behind the genius, Rembrandt . A master of light and self-portraiture, the city that elevated him has also forgotten him.

It was in this environment that Van Gogh emerged: without sales, without success, but with an inner strength that still moves us. We'll discuss his bond with his brother Theo and his sister-in-law Johanna, which would transform his legacy in Amsterdam.

We arrive at Museumplein , where four museums converse across centuries: Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh, Stedelijk Museum, and Moco. Opposite Van Gogh, art as an emotional refuge and mental health as part of the creative process. At the Stedelijk Museum, the irreverent avant-garde movements , and at Moco, Banksy and street art as a critical and poetic voice.

We'll take the free ferry to NDSM , the epicenter of urban art. We'll talk about the city as a canvas and art as a voice that doesn't ask permission . There, the Anne Frank mural speaks to us of memory and hope.

Through the eyes of Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and so many others, you'll see that Amsterdam isn't a stage set, it's a collective self-portrait.
