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.
