Hi there! Nice to meet you

Estella

I was born and bred in Amsterdam, city of "tolerance", and am very much the product of that: direct, to the point and genuine. I love showing people around my city and telling them all the little anecdotes that belong to the old center.

Every street or section has its own story for me. I studied English, Art History and Philosophy at the University of Amsterdam and am dedicated to the lore and history of (North) Holland.

My tours have a laidback and personal approach. A tour with me means you will get information about the city that you will not find in books!

Estella shared the history of Amsterdam .. creating visuals of bygone times .. with wonderful glimpses into the life of those who walked these streets over the centuries. Explaining and discussing the relevance of history to the present culture of people and place which we see today as Amsterdam. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and your insights with us. Just a wonderful day. The Tale of Amsterdam - Walk through Time

We had an amazing 3-hour tour of Amsterdam with Estella. As a true Amsterdammer, she brought the city to life with stories and local insights we wouldn't have come across otherwise. She customized the tour to match our interests and gave us excellent restaurant recommendations, which was so helpful with so many options in the city. The pace was relaxed, and the whole experience felt fun and personal—like exploring with a local friend. We’d definitely recommend a tour with Estella to anyone wanting a fun, laid-back way to get to know Amsterdam. Thanks again Estella!

Absolutely fantastic experience on this tour. Estella felt more like meeting a friend than a stranger. She was not only knowledgeable but made the whole experience fun. She brought in her own experiences but was also interested in us. We got on perfectly as she listened to what we wanted as well as showing us hidden gems we would have otherwise walked passed. Cannot recommend highly enough. Rock n Stroll

We enjoyed our tour with Estella. We scheduled the tour for when we first arrived in Amsterdam to get an overview of the city so that we could decide what we wanted to explore further on our own. Estella did a great job with that and we enjoyed hearing the history of the city as well as her personal stories and experiences. Great overview of Amsterdam

We had booked a 3 hour tour with Estella to visit Amsterdam, the tour lasted longer and she did not mind. She was extremely knowledgeable, witty and warm. We walked around many of the streets, canals and neighbourhoods of Amsterdam and she also showed us some of her favourite hidden gems. She treated us to some delicious chocolates towards the end of the tour, which we thought was so kind and thoughtful of her. We highly recommend a tour with Estella! Wonderful

Estella non w’ solo una guida turistica molto appassionata per la Sua città , che ama e conosce a fondo storicamente , e non solo , in quanto abbiamo visitato le zone meno turistiche . E’ anche una persona fine , umana , ed educata , con la quale e’ un piacere stare . La contatterò certamente alla prossima occasione . Estella
