I am Yvonne, specialized in Amsterdam tours. Born Dutch, traveled the world, living in Amsterdam. I love history, architecture, legendary stories and culture. During a private Amsterdam tour I can show you the must see attractions such as Dam square, the historic beauty and cultural wealth of the old town and the Canals as well as places "off the beaten path". Always with a personal touch, because I want your trip to Amsterdam to be memorable and fun. Whether you are interested in an overview tour, a tour of multiple days, a tour for a special occasion, if you have plans to work or study in Amsterdam, a tasting, a theme, walking or in combination with boat I like to organize the experience for you. Originally from the South West of the Netherlands, my private tour will offer you a view of Amsterdam, as a local would see it, including little known facts from a point of view only a local would have. I've traveled for many years around the world: I made a world trip, visited India three times and had the opportunity to do volunteer work in one of the houses founded by Mother Teresa; Went on a bicycle road trip through the Western United States from New Mexico to the Canadian border; and visited South America and Spain more than once. I am also an experienced tour guide. While living and working for several years in Mexico, I organized and led two, three and four week trips throughout Mexico and Central America. One of my best memories is leading a trip to Guatemala where my group and I helped locals with the construction of houses in poor villages. After returning to the Netherlands I settled in Amsterdam where I live in a lively neighborhood in which many different nationalities and cultures are represented. Making connections with cultures from all over the world is something I am passionate about. I am looking forward to meeting you in Amsterdam as your private tour guide! *Private guide in Amsterdam for ToursByLocals since 2011 *Permit city council of Amsterdam for guided tours in the city centre *Registered with Chamber of Commerce in Amsterdam *Attending lectures and excursions of Dutch National Guides Association * I know many of my ToursByLocals colleagues very well. If I can not organize a tour for you I can refer to my fellow tour guides * I cooperate with many ToursByLocals guides to create the best experience for you! * I guide in the Portuguese Synagogue, preferably with prior notice *Education in Tourism *Tour leader training *Tour leader experience for Dutch travel organization Baobab and Adventure Specialists in Mexico and Central America -I am specialized in Amsterdam tours, I do not guide in museums.

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

My 3 hour private walking tour gives you the opportunity to discover Amsterdam. Besides the old town we visit Dam square and you experience our world famous canal district. Admire the former houses of the rich merchants and take pictures on scenic bridges. And there is so much more to see because as a resident of Amsterdam I like to show you the less known places. I love local products with a nice story and buildings and places with a special history. As with all of my tours I individualize each tour based on what YOU want to see. During this tour there is an option to taste local delicacies or I give you suggestions for the best local shops. I will tell you about the history of Amsterdam, from the earliest origin, the 17th Century and the influence on our life nowadays. After my tour you will not only know more about Amsterdam and its inhabitants. If you like I can also give you recommendations for places to visit, restaurants, shops and public transport. A complete introduction to the city!
