Tour guide in Amsterdam Femke M.

Hi, I am Femke and I have lived in Amsterdam for 33 years now! When I started studying here, I fell in love with the relaxed atmosphere, freedom and inspiration this tiny metropolis provides. During my whole life, studies, career and family life was and still is based here. So, as you can imagine, I have a lot of stories about Amsterdam: personal ones, but of course also about the amazing history of this city. As a theatre maker, former journalist, illustrator and history student, my favorite hobby is to talk with visitors about the past. Therefore, I started working in several musea and gained a lot of experience. When you meet me, we will speak about everything from the immense wealth in the 17th Century, to the canals, the freedom and tolerance, jewish culture, World War II, the resistance but also the Amsterdam Pride. We will get to see several medieval buildings, canal houses, churches, synagoges, canal bridges and a palace! Join me exploring the beauty of Amsterdam!
