My 4 hour private walking tour gives you the opportunity to discover Amsterdam. Besides the Red Light District, where we see a combination of the present, history, arts and crafts we visit an old courtyard and Dam square. Admire the former houses of the rich merchants and take pictures on scenic bridges. And there is so much more to see because as a local I like to show you the less known places. I love local products with a nice story and buildings and places with a special history. As with all of my tours I individualize each tour based on what YOU want to see. During this tour there is an option to taste local delicacies such as cookies or cheese. I will tell you about the history of Amsterdam, from the earliest origin, the Dutch Golden Age and the influence on our life nowadays. After my tour you will not only know more about Amsterdam and its inhabitants. If you like I can also give you recommendations for places to visit, restaurants, shops and public transport.

This Rijksmuseum has a selection of the finest artworks in the world. The museum is housed in a stunning 19th century building, resembling the Amsterdams Central station and designed by the same architect: Mr. Kuypers. Not visiting the Rijksmuseum while in Amsterdam can be considered as a sin. So I will make sure you go to heaven! In this tour I guide you through some highlights in Dutch art history from the 17th to the 19th century. From Rembrandt to Van Gogh. During the tour, the story of Amsterdam and its movements towards “The liberal capital of Europe” will emerge. You might have already heard about Rembrandt ’s Night Watch and Vermeer’s Milkmaid but now we see these paintings from up close, examining daring brush strokes, light contrasts, small artist mistakes, all accompanied by spectacular anecdotes told by a real art geek. After the tour we will have a nice cup of coffee in a typical Dutch bar nearby to discuss your views on the beautiful Rijksmuseum collection!

This is a cycling tour will be perfect for adventurous travellers, who would like to get to know more about the innovative, creative and even a little bit of anarchic side of Amsterdam! Here you will not be able to see old historical buildings, cozy bridges and majestic churches. Instead, we offer you to explore some new areas, famous for its incredible modern architecture, contemporary street art, innovative startups and social projects. Together with you we will discover how rusty construction crane was turned into a luxury hotel or port containers, ferries and old trams into lovely comfortable apartments, art galleries or cozy bars. After, we would like to show you some other local sights, such as former shipyard turned into creative space with workshops; modern architecture; floating sustainable housing; eco-village and a little 3D-printed house, partly built of potato peel!
