The group size is usually between 6 and 8 people. The maximum size is 12 people. This makes it easier for you to hear the guide and also to ask your questions. It is not a mass market tour. These walks are designed to give you the best possible experience and to make a memorable part of your time in Amsterdam.

My aim is that the walking tours are as interesting as possible. I am not just showing you the best parts of Amsterdam, I am putting the whole tour in a historical context of how events in the past created what you now see in Amsterdam. You will also hear many funny stories of the past to entertain, amuse and amaze you.

On these walking tours, you will see and hear things that will blow your mind. The tours give you a totally new way of looking at Amsterdam. From the small fishing community at the mouth of the Amstel to a world powerhouse and modern-day Amsterdam, too.

From modest beginnings, the Dutch had to master the water and the wind. These two necessities soon turned into a competitive advantage, allowing Amsterdam to leap ahead of its rivals and to attain great riches.

The most fascinating age of Dutch history. Hear how it all happened – how the city grew in size and population and how fortunes were made and sometimes lost. An age of expansion and exploring, domination in a shrinking world.

Dutch history is punctuated by long periods of wars. These will be addressed all throughout the tour and how the outcomes changed the city over the centuries. 

Start your first ever visit to Amsterdam with one of our walking tours! Also do one even if you have visited Amsterdam ten times already. It will surprise and enthral you.

At the end of the tour, you will be given a ‘cheat sheet’ of all the best things to see and do in Amsterdam. It is constantly updated to give you some great ideas so that you don’t miss all the best things to see, do and eat at the current time.
