Hi there! Nice to meet you

Willem

Amsterdam has a beautiful, medieval centre, with lots of secrets.

And the Canal Belt is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Ofcourse there is the Red Light District, but there is a lot more.

Did you know the old city is the most religious part of Amsterdam?

And did you know Rembrandt was a regular visitor of this area?

And that beside 17 bodies they "catch" 16.000 bikes out of the water of the canals each year?

Join me on a tour through Old Amsterdam, the Canal Belt and the Red Light District and you will be surprised!

It was a glorious early spring morning in Amsterdam and Willem led us on a walk that covered Amsterdam’s history, architecture and current culture. Over more than three hours we saw and learned a lot. Willem is knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. Really enjoyable and highly recommended if you’re looking for something out of the normal tourist routes. A quirky walk through Amsterdam’s history

Willem was a delight and a wealth of knowledge. He was very open to our interests (we did a private with him) and he took us to off-the-beaten path places. We learned so much! Highly recommend! Wonderful morning with Willem!

Our tour with Willem was amazing! As a local he shared the rich the history of Amsterdam and took us to secret gardens/courtyards. In addition, we also enjoyed his great sense of humor. Best way to see Amsterdam

Willem was an excellent guide! We were able to ask him all sorts of questions and he took us where we wanted to go as well as to places we weren't aware of. Willem had a sense of humor as well. We appreciated his recommendations and can't wait to come back to Amsterdam now that we have a better sense of the city, it's history and it's residents! Informative from someone who knows!

If you need a true local that will tell you stories, explain you the nuances of the city and its system, show you hidden alleys and be a fantastic guide through peculiar world of De Wallen aka Red Light District, Willem should be your choice. Matea, StockholmThe most local you can get
