Nice to meet you! My name is Monique and I’m a true Dutchie, born and raised in the Netherlands. I’ve always lived close to Amsterdam and fell in love with the city as a child. After moving here 25 years ago, it’s still my favorite place in the world. With a background in journalism, I’ve always had a broad curiosity and a love for stories. That’s also what I enjoy about guiding: sharing the anecdotes, details and fun facts that make Amsterdam and everything you see come alive. I love history, culture, architecture and local shops. Yet my biggest passion is the art in the museums, where I have been guiding almost daily in the past years. I also have a special interest in the Jewish history in Amsterdam, including the WWII and Anne Frank. I’m especially happy when I can make you experience the city the best way. Whether you’re looking for a deep understanding of the city or a museum, or just the special spots and highlights, all is possible. Over the past 11 years, I’ve guided many different guests on all kinds of private tours through Amsterdam. Therefore I can easily customize a tour for you. Many tours can also be combined into a half-day or full-day experience, for example a city walk with a museum visit, or a day full of art, history, local life and local tastings along the way. You’re very welcome to tell me what you’d like to explore, even if it’s not mentioned on my profile page. I’m happy to create a special itinerary for you. I have: *Bachelors degree in Journalism *Experienced tour guide (11 years) * License to guide in Amsterdam City Center *Official guide in the Rijksmuseum *Official guide in the Van Gogh Museum Just to mention: I do also guide in the smaller villages / countryside around Amsterdam. I’m not a driver though. But if you wish to, I can arrange a driver for us.

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

Amsterdam is a small city and with all its canals, narrow streets and bridges, you can easily discover the city by foot. In only 4 hours I will take you to the must see spots of the city centre. It's a beautiful walk that partly goes through the medieval part of Amsterdam, where you can find the oldest church and Red Light District in the very heart of the city. We'll also walk along the most famous canals (World Unesco Heritage) from the Golden Age and cross the vibrant 9 little streets. You'll see the Beguinage, an inner courtyard where still today only women are living and more special spots in the city. This walking tour is full of stories about the history, culture, people and modern lifestyle of Amsterdam. It will leave you with a feeling that you didn't miss out. This tour can be easily customized. If you would like to add a tour through a museum, a cheese tasting or canal cruise, just contact me for options. Feel free to take a look at my other tours as well on my personal profile.
