Teacher and Editor in Amsterdam, Nederland

Experience Amsterdam the ideal way: walking. See all the famous sites, some infamous ones, and quite a few only Amsterdammers know. Soak up the unique atmosphere and discover what makes the city special and so much fun!

I will be your private guide. Born and raised in Amsterdam, very knowledgeable and friendly. Amsterdam Walks Private Guide offers personalised walking tours adaptable to your special wishes and interests. Your tour will be a private one, it's only you, your group or family. No more than ten people. This means a lot of personal attention.

During a three hour walk you will stroll through the oldest streets and along the prettiest canals, stumble on hidden squares and courtyards, and pass quaint little shops.

Hear about all the monuments and the areas we visit and ask me any question you may have about Amsterdam, past or present.

I will tell you about the city's humble origins as a fishing village. About its Golden Age when Amsterdam became an economic powerhouse and a global player, and its arts, sciences and architecture were famous and admired the world over. You will learn how Amsterdam became a world leader in free and liberal thinking.

Naturally you will have plenty of opportunity for taking photos and for a relaxed drink in a brown café or on an outdoor terrace.

You will find that Amsterdam not only has a rich history but that the city today is as vibrant, exciting and beautiful as ever!
