Hi, I’m Max. I’m a historian with a deep love for Amsterdam and a background in international tourism. Over the years, I’ve learned that the best way to experience a city isn’t by rushing through highlights but by understanding its stories, rhythm, and hidden corners. I design personal, relaxed, and fully customized tours, shaped around what truly interests you—history, daily life, architecture, or simply walking and absorbing the city at your own pace. No scripts. No crowds. No pressure. I live in Amsterdam’s Museum District, an area I know intimately, and I enjoy helping visitors discover not only the famous landmarks but also the quieter neighborhoods where the city feels most authentic. What I enjoy most is meeting people from around the world and watching Amsterdam unfold naturally for them. If you’re looking for a tour that feels thoughtful and genuinely local, I’d be happy to explore the city with you.

A Warm, Private Journey into Dutch Life, History and Beauty
Overview of your Amsterdam tour
As you step off your cruise ship in IJmuiden/ Amsterdam Port, I will be there to welcome you personally. No confusion, no waiting, just an easy and relaxed beginning to your day. We start with a comfortable private drive through the Dutch countryside to a historic windmill that is still fully operational today. Inside, you’ll discover how this living symbol of the Netherlands has shaped the land and daily life for centuries. From the windmill, we continue to Amsterdam for a gentle walking tour through the heart of the city. We explore Dam Square, admire the Royal Palace from the outside, stroll through the charming Nine Streets, and visit the floating Flower Market, where colors, scents, and stories reflect Amsterdam’s trading past. The experience continues with a scenic canal cruise through the UNESCO-listed Canal Ring. From the water, the city reveals itself quietly — elegant façades, hidden corners, and timeless architecture. The day ends with a smooth return transfer to Amsterdam/ IJmuiden Port.
