Description
Take a fascinating walk with me, an enthusiastic and knowledgeable expert, who brings to life the best Amsterdam highlights, hidden gems and historical sights through entertaining storytelling. You'll see the most interesting parts of the city within a sensible timeframe and at a relaxed, non-rushed pace. Not only will you learn about the things and the people that make the city famous, like the canals, coffeeshops, Rembrandt and Anne Frank; but you’ll also discover places only known to locals that are not found in tourist guides. My goal with this tour is to make you feel like you are part of the city instead of an outsider traveling through it. In other words, you’ll feel less like a tourist and more like a local. • 15 years of experience from exploring and filming Amsterdam • Get a very personal view, as I tell you stories about my life in Amsterdam as they relate to points of interest * Small groups, almost like a private tour * Take breaks along the way
