I'm Adriaan B., your private tour guide in Amsterdam

Guide #57654

Hello! My name is Adriaan. I am an historian and an experienced tour guide in my hometown Amsterdam. Besides that I am a photographer who makes reportages on various hotspots in the world. Amsterdam is beautiful and Amsterdam is fantastic! Are you new, do you just want to explore the city or you didn't had time to read the brochures? Be my guest. It has a fascinating history, unalike many other European cities. Indeed, stories to tell. After my tour you see the city with different eyes. During our walk along iconic places I tell you in an understandable way (with Amsterdam humor) about the history and background of the city. The general history completed with anecdotes. When you visit the Rijksmuseum and/or make a boat tour along the canals afterwards you see the city differently. Master Degree in History (modern and contemporary history). Licensed and experienced guide living in the city centre of Amsterdam. Reportage photographer. For newspapers and NGO's I make stories in different hotspots in the world. - Most museums don't allow tour guides. I will guide towards the best museums! - Groups larger than 15 people are not allowed by the Amsterdam municipality. - I provide walking tours only. The city centre is small enough to have fantastic walks!

    This tour was great. Adriaan is extremely knowledgeable about both over Dutch and World War II specific history. He was friendly, very informative, and made sure we saw all of the major highlights during the three-hour tour. Would highly recommend him!

    For our first time in Amsterdam, Adriaan was a wealth of interesting history and culture. He was flexible to meet us at our hotel and drop us off again after our 3 hour walking tour.

    Adriaan showed and explained so much of the history of Amsterdam during the Second World War, both with the history of the Jewish quarter and with the German occupation generally. He was like a director with our walking tour, unveiling one dramatic story after another as we made our way through the city streets. We visited areas I had not seen in Amsterdam previously,...
