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!

Overview of your Amsterdam tour
Join me on an interactive tour through the biggest museum of the Netherlands. The Rijksmuseum has a collection that easily spans 7 centuries worth of art, design and other objects from mostly Europe and Asia. I will take you on an in-depth tour curated tour around the most important galleries and provide the context to the works throughout time and help you gain insight and perspective on some of the most important works known in Dutch art history. Join me on a tour where I will weave a tapestry that will provide you with a background about Dutch history and culture of the 17th century to slightly more modern times. From techniques used to create the works, to the society that bought them and what it meant to them. Drawing from the rich history that formed this country and re-framing it into todays' broader society. This tour is for people who love to look at art and join the dots of history and culture.
