Hi, I’m a longtime Amsterdam local and have called this city home for more than 26 years. As a passionate traveller myself, I know the best journeys are not just about seeing places, but about truly experiencing them and making meaningful connections. I enjoy creating tours that feel personal, relaxed, engaging, and full of authentic moments. Whether it’s your first time in the Netherlands or your fifth, I want you to experience the country in your own unique way. My tours combine famous highlights with hidden corners, local neighbourhoods, food tastings, history, culture, WW2 stories, and Jewish heritage. I especially enjoy introducing my guests to both the famous landmarks and the hidden corners they may never find on their own. Beyond Amsterdam, I also offer countryside tours to charming villages, flower fields, castles, scenic landscapes, and beautiful small towns away from the busy tourist crowds. The Netherlands has so much more to offer than Amsterdam alone. Travel is comfortable and easy in electric Mercedes-Benz minivan for up to 6 guests, with a professional driver, air conditioning, USB charging ports, tinted windows, and complimentary water bottles. For groups larger than 6 people, please contact me for a quote. If the tours currently offered do not fully match your preferences or interests, please feel free to contact me to arrange a customized tour tailored to your wishes and travel style The Netherlands is full of surprises, and I’d be happy to help you discover them You are all very welcome! - Registered as tour guide in the Dutch Chamber of Commerce - Private tour guide in Amsterdam since April 2016 - Official Permit City of Amsterdam for guided tours in the historical centre - Education in Tourism at Leiden Educational Institutions, NL - Official IATA travel agent - Working experience as a tour operator and travel agent - Covid 19 fully vaccinated - Experienced restaurant host with culinary and wine knowledge

Food is one of the best ways to understand a culture. What we eat, how we prepare it, and the traditions we share around the table reflect who we are. A visit to Amsterdam would not be complete without tasting its local delicacies. During this experience, I will introduce you to some of the most traditional Dutch snacks and street food while exploring the Jordaan, one of Amsterdam’s most charming neighbourhoods — a bohemian blend of locals and international residents. As we wander through narrow streets, flower-lined canals, 17th-century houses, and food markets, you will discover the atmosphere and flavours that define the city. A travel experience filled with local food, hospitality, and the beauty of Amsterdam. Please let me know in advance if you have any specific dietary preferences, including vegetarian options or food allergies.
Laura Maria was great! She put together a fun and memorable tour with delicious food tastings and great conversation along the way. I especially enjoyed the pickled herring and the apple pie—both were fantastic. A wonderful way to experience Amsterdam’s food and culture. Highly recommend!
