Treat yourself to a wonderful day
Amsterdam is a fantastic city to visit, full of history and beauty. Walk along the famous 17th century canals, which were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, and admire the blend of old and new architecture. Discover shops. Meet locals and tourists in scenic cafés.
The famous bikes of Amsterdam pass you by. Their sounds of pedalling and ringing of bells are the beating heart of Amsterdam, splashed with vibrant colours and stacked neatly, side by side, like books on a shelf. Every cobbled street and centuries-old tilted building has its own story waiting to be discovered.
Amsterdam is a fantastic city to live and work in. I was born here, raised here and after studying for two years to become your personal guide – I can share with you the real story of Amsterdam, tailored to your interests. I can advise you on the best restaurants, because I have eaten there myself. Likewise, I have seen all recent exhibitions.
Let's stop off at a quiet hidden gem cafe to rest and digest the tour and indulge in traditional Dutch pub delicacies.
Do yourself a great favour and treat yourself to a wonderful day.
