Welcome to Amsterdam! My name is Silvan. Tour guide, artist, birdwatcher, family man. My ancestors were people of West-Frisia (currently the Dutch province of North Holland), denizens of the shores of Zuyderzee, sailors and traders in the Hansa region (the North and Baltic Seas). So yes, I'm local, but also global, having lived in the USA for several years. With ToursByLocals I offer a range of tours, some focused on birds, some on culture and history. The ever-present threat of flooding has forced the Dutch to become trailblazers in the field of civil engineering. The Amsterdam city center with its canals, as well as the reclaimed land of Beemster lake, are distinguished as UNESCO world heritage. The tiny but densely populated country of the Netherlands (colloquially "Holland") is an intricate patchwork where people and nature co-exist. Book a tour with me and share in my love for this land. I look forward to meeting you! Professional Tour Guide since 2014 Professional Birder since 2009 Visual Artist In my tours I have no restrictions.

Overview of your Amsterdam tour
One moment you are eating a stroopwafel with coffee in the bustle of Amsterdam's largest street market in the hip de Pijp area. An hour later you stand face to face with one of the masterpieces by Van Gogh or Rembrandt. After a break in a cosy café, with a view of stately 17th century canal houses, maybe you feel like perusing an antiques shop or book market, or spend time in a medieval chapel. Or perhaps you prefer eating peking duck in chinatown and traversing the red light district? It will be my distinct pleasure to tailor your unique Amsterdam experience.
