Hello! My name is Adriaan. I am an historian and an experienced tour guide in my hometown Amsterdam. Besides that I am a photographer who makes reportages on various hotspots in the world. Amsterdam is beautiful and Amsterdam is fantastic! Are you new, do you just want to explore the city or you didn't had time to read the brochures? Be my guest. It has a fascinating history, unalike many other European cities. Indeed, stories to tell. After my tour you see the city with different eyes. During our walk along iconic places I tell you in an understandable way (with Amsterdam humor) about the history and background of the city. The general history completed with anecdotes. When you visit the Rijksmuseum and/or make a boat tour along the canals afterwards you see the city differently. Master Degree in History (modern and contemporary history). Licensed and experienced guide living in the city centre of Amsterdam. Reportage photographer. For newspapers and NGO's I make stories in different hotspots in the world. - Most museums don't allow tour guides. I will guide towards the best museums! - Groups larger than 15 people are not allowed by the Amsterdam municipality. - I provide walking tours only. The city centre is small enough to have fantastic walks!

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

Nowadays a cosy hangout with cute narrow streets filled with cafes and restaurants. . . once a notorious place with poor very outspoken (and very funny) people! During our walk along iconic places I tell you in an understandable way (with Amsterdam humor) about the history and background of the neighborhood. In the area there are stories to tell about Anne Frank in the area around her hiding place, Rembrandt in his last days, Sjako (the Amsterdam Robin Hood), monks, poverty, benefactors, and more!
