Hello! I am Arun, and am ready to offer you an unique experience in Amsterdam. I am a historian and an award-winning sports writer with a fascination for reading, art, history, culture and cuisine. I love meeting people from different parts of the world, and creating memories for them. When people travel, they are full of curiosity, eagerness to enjoy and bonhomie. In short, they are full of positive energy. I love touching their lives at that precise moment and sharing the joy and happiness of discovery that comes with touring. I have lived and worked around the world but decided to make Amsterdam my home. Golden Age canals lined by quaint gabled buildings, fascinating museums, treasure-packed shops, a vibrant design and art scene, endless choices of culinary delights, history eloquent in every brick, the lure of the Red Light District . . . and, last but not the least, the fascinating getaways into the heart of nature if you know your way around town and outskirts. It is a city I have fallen in love with and can make you fall in love with as well. Whether it is biking like locals, wandering around the quaint canals and the narrow alleys, taking a peek behind the great masterpieces of Rembradnt and Van Gogh, tasting local delicacies, learning how the Red Light District works, or getting away from the busy center to visit Windmills and other countryside attractions, I can arrange it for you. There are plenty of attractions off the beaten track, from secret courtyards to James Bond filming locations. Throbbing city center, delightful museums, offbeat locales, countryside excursions. I can customize the tour in whichever way you want. See you in Amsterdam. You will love the experience. Tot ziens. -Municipality Licence for touring in Old Amsterdam -Published Author of Historical fiction -Published Author of non-fiction (history) with a pair of international award shortlists -Award Winning Sports Writer -Art and History Buff

Indulge in the delights of the delicacies special to Amsterdam - from the delicious Dutch fingerfood to the rich Indonesian spread and open your senses to the flow of the beer and jenever special to Amsterdam. End with a delightful dessert. And in the process learn about the history of the city and its food and drink, as I take you on a culinary journey back in time and mix it with the various chapters of Dutch history. It is a trip that satisfies all senses, where you leave the travel to your imagination and sit in the comfort of restaurants while I tell you stories about how the city developed and its food, how they mix into a fascinating tale. You will leave with a combination of the most memorable meals you have had and a lot of interesting information that will provide further food for thought.
Meet in the city centre. Start with a platter of delicious Dutch bites & beer (kids-hot chocolate, tee-totallers coffee) in a world class traditional Dutch cafe. We discuss the city and how food played an important, game-changing role in Dutch history. Work off the bites and build up appetite with a short walk along the canals if the weather is good. If not, we stay indoors and keep talking about Amsterdam. (if there are children [according tage or at heart] , I will mix this up with the best fries(chips) in Flanders. ) We now take a short walk to a classy Indonesian restaurant and have a platter of the most exotic food. As we order, wait and then eat the food, we talk about Indonesia, Suriname and the tales of Dutch colonies and also of modern times.
