Hi there! I might be new to Tours by Locals, but I'm not new to guiding. Since 2017 I have been working as a freelance tour guide. I have extensive experience guiding all ages. I am also a Dutch multi-disciplinary artist (since 2004) and electronic musician. And I have a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art and in Arts and Design Education. I also have extensive experience in teaching students aged 5 - 95 in all various aspects of art, and have run media workshops, art critique courses and motion graphic studies. Due to my diverse background I'm incredibly fascinated by the city's wealth of stories, from art to (Jewish) history and colonial heritage which I'm keen to share. My tours are lively, in-depth and delivered with a sense of humor. I love connecting the dots and interacting with curious travellers. In my free time I love to make CG-based art and music, touring through Europe as a DJ or reading up on my favourite subjects like art-history, Amsterdam (colonial history) , sociology, esoteric philosophies and psychology. All my tours can be customised and in case of the need for entry tickets will have to be customized. Please do not hesitate to contact me and ask. Due to the busy season just starting, it can take me a bit longer to get back to you, but know you're on my mind. :) Looking forward to meeting you!

Discover the centuries old history of the Jewish community
Overview of your Amsterdam tour
Discover the rich history of Amsterdam's Jewish community on an immersive 3-hour walking tour. Begin at the Nieuwmarkt down the St Antoniebreestraat. Discover where the Sephardi Jewish gentry lived and their contribution to the success story that made the Netherlands into the first republic of Europe. Down to Waterlooplein to visit an old market with strong Jewish roots, hear about the history of the diamond workers that led to social reforms and the start of the unions. Down to the Portugese Synagogue, a still functioning synagogue from 17th century and further into the Plantage neighborhood. Learn about the impact of World War 2 on the Jewish community. Visit the Auschwitz Monument in Wertheim Park. End at the monument by Daniel Liebeskind. This tour offers a poignant exploration of Amsterdam's Jewish history, blending tales of cultural flourishing with somber reflections on persecution and resilience. Please note we're not going to visit the Anne Frank House as the house is not in the area.
