As the tour guide I work already 25 years. Within last 15 years I am specialized for the groups and /or individual visits and guides within states of Benelux (The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg ) . My clients are mostly for interested for daily city tours in bigger cities like Amsterdam, Brussels, Luxembourg (city) but not only - "smaller cities" such as Rotterdam, Delft, Volendam, Zaanse Schaans, Den Hague, Waterloo, Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp, natural tourist attractions, architectural attractions, historical places and religious heritage anywhere else within the area could be organized and guided depending on your wishes.

I left Germany 23 years ago and have been living in Amsterdam since 2001. I am an experienced world traveller having visited more than 40 countries on all continents. When coming to Amsterdam I developed a passion for the architecture, the rich history and the many legends that can be found all over the city. Turning passion into a profession I became a tour guide and founded my own company specializing in off the beaten path tours and historic walking routes. With my private tours I can guarantee a high level of intimacy. For me it is important that there is also time for personal conversations. I love to learn about the lives of my guests. My mission is fulfilled when you got the feeling that you discovered Amsterdam with a friend who happened to know a lot about the city. Catch The Amsterdam Feeling with me!

Hi there, my name is Anne and I'm an artist and tour guide in Amsterdam. I like my life to be filled with different experiences and this is also what I am offering within my tours. I am living in the center of Amsterdam for 38 years and love it! I like the joy and the connection tourists bring to the city. Sharing my enthousiasme and giving you space and opportunity to experience the city and 'her' beauty, are important to me.

My tours were born from my passion for traveling and studying other cultures, from my avid late-night reading, and from meeting amazing, bright, and talented people from around the world. And, of course, it sprouted from my love for storytelling :). Now, there are 10 of us - guides in the Netherlands, Belgium, Serbia, Hungary, and Morocco. We are historians, designers, physicists, journalists, sociologists, and art historians. I am thrilled to share my knowledge and show you these fabulous and hidden places from a tourist's perspective. My team would be delighted to accompany you on this adventure full of unexpected discoveries as we travel through the centuries and immerse ourselves in the local culture!

Get ready for a wild ride through the streets of Amsterdam with our amazing team! We all felt in love with Amsterdam, its charm, beautiful architecture and history. We are happy to show you the city in not typical, more alternative, fun, politically incorrect way. You can expect lots of colorful language, humor that may push the envelope, and, yes, a healthy dose of history thrown in for good measure. So, if you're ready to break away from the norm and experience Amsterdam like never before, then this is the tour for you! No holds barred, no snowflakes allowed!

Welcome, I'm Sebi and together with Olivier we have the best canal tour experience in Amsterdam. We are two true Amsterdammers who love our beautiful city. After years of captaining on the canals, we started our own company with a historic, now-modernized boat (“Giuliana”) to deliver the ultimate cruise experience. Our rebuilt 100% electric vessel provides the passenger with a comfortable (we have a toilet), safe and environmentally friendly experience with great visibility both on beautiful summer days (open) and in the cold, wet winter days (dry and warm). We cruise with a maximum of 12 passengers on our boat, providing a spacious and personal experience with many bespoke options like food and drinks, sailing routes etc.

After many jobs where I couldn't really find my site, one day I decided to study for a tour guide in The Netherlands, the most incredible thing is that I discovered that teaching others this country is not a job is a passion, and when you make your passion your way of life you can never say it's a job. This is why I think I am a good guide, because I enjoy every moment that I am on a tour, and that is noticed by my clients. I did not know the platform, but I have had the opportunity in the past to do tours with citizens of Japan, and the truth is the experience is very positive, very educated people and wanting to have fun. This is why I would love to work with you.

“Beautiful Day at Zaanse Schans”
We were lucky to have sunshine on the day we visited Zaanse Schans. Our guide Marie's smile is as bright as the sunshine. She is patient and caring, sharing with us stories of the windmills and brought us to the cheese and chocolate places. The drinks at the cafe are lovely. We also enjoyed the special area she showed us at Amsterdam Ctrl Train Station.
