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!

My tour is full of personal anecdotes. My family and their friends told me many, many stories about their experiences during the Second World War. Amsterdam has never been bombed during the Second World War but it has suffered a lot. During the tour I will tell you about Anne Frank, the Jewish history, the persecution of Jews, the strike in February 1941, the resistance and betrayal, the hunger winter, etcetera. Including stories of my own family. I am a historian and an experienced tour guide in my hometown Amsterdam. After my tour you see the city with different eyes.
