We believe that the essence of Amsterdam lies in its people—both us locals and you, even if you’re only here for a day. Our goal? To help you not just see Amsterdam, but to truly connect with it and feel what it means to live here.
We’re a group of locals who live, breathe, and love this city. More than that, we’re passionate storytellers and travelers ourselves.
We know your time here is precious, and we’re here to help you make the most of it.
So, what sets us apart? At Who Is Amsterdam Tours, we believe Amsterdam is more than just a city—it’s a story waiting to be told. Our highly-rated walking tours aren’t your typical history lesson. We dive deep into the soul of the city, helping you connect with Amsterdam on a personal level.
The way we do it is by not only sharing dates and facts. Next to that, we introduce you to the people—past and present—who’ve shaped Amsterdam’s unique character.
Our guides weave together personal stories of Amsterdammers who reflect everything the city is known for, from its rich history to its progressive culture. It’s not just a tour; it’s your chance to truly connect with Amsterdam in a meaningful way.

Founder, Guide and Storyteller
Hi there, I’m Alexandra! I’m a passionate storyteller who left the corporate world behind for a life filled with connection and adventure. Seven years ago, I quit my Sales job to follow my true calling—bridging the gap between my beloved Amsterdam and those who come to explore it. That’s how Who Is Amsterdam Tours was born.
I believe humor and meaningful stories bring people closer to the heart of this amazing city. When I’m not sharing Amsterdam’s secrets, I’m indulging in strawberries, cheering on my football team, travelling or hanging out with friends and family. Let’s connect and make your Amsterdam experience unforgettable!
Guide and Storyteller
I am a British-Swiss guide who moved to Amsterdam in 2022 to pursue my passion for excellent urban cycling infrastructure. This is my second time working as a tour guide. The first was during the pandemic, taking people digitally through the ancient streets of Oxford with a phone on a gimbal whilst praying the signal remained strong enough for Zoom.
I excel at trivia. Indeed, as a teenager I was the 3x history trivia champion of Switzerland; I am good in a pub quiz!:) With a background in anthropology, I love to unpick cultures and understand what makes them tick so as to share these discoveries with our many wonderful guests.

Hi, I’m Nia. I’m a storyteller and theatre maker based between Amsterdam and Groningen. Since 2015, I’ve been creating and sharing stories and over the years, storytelling has truly become the heart of my work. I don’t just write my stories — I memorize and embody them, bringing every word, every voice, and every detail to life.
At Who Is Amsterdam, I get to combine two things I love deeply: sharing stories and building real connections between people. I’m proud to be one of the storyteller guides and also a co-designer of the Hello Amsterdam Walking Tour. Whether it’s through an energetic story, a sensitive moment, or simply a warm conversation, I aim to invite you into the beating heart of the city. See you soon in Amsterdam.
Hello, I’m Leander! When I’m not working as a professional firefighter, I’m out sharing my passion for the stunning countryside around Amsterdam and the famous Dutch bulb region. Guiding tours is my way of creating unforgettable experiences, combining my love for the area with the challenge of ensuring every guest has an amazing time.
Travel in style and comfort in my luxurious 7 seat Van, as we explore picturesque landscapes and hidden gems just a short drive from the city. Join me for a unique adventure, available year-round—I can’t wait to show you the beauty of the Netherlands!

Hey everyone, it’s Jonas! Originally from Germany, I have spent a large part of my life discovering new countries and cultures. I settled in wonderful Amsterdam in 2023 to study at the University of Amsterdam. I’m passionate about many things, but a few of those include: hosting friends, sharing stories, making jokes, exploring places by foot, and meeting new people – and I am happy to be able to unite all these passions as Guide & Storyteller.
Fun fact about me: the day I moved to Amsterdam was also the first time I ever stepped a foot into the city. On our tour, you’ll find out why I was so sure that Amsterdam would be the right place. I am excited to meet you!
Guide and Storyteller
I’m Aryeh – a Tel Aviv-born artist, storyteller, and musician who came to Amsterdam chasing a dream (and maybe also running from a few things). What started as a short escape turned into a journey of self-discovery and artistic rebirth. I stayed for the freedom and the raw honesty of this city—and for the stories it helped me uncover. I’m a performer by nature and a listener at heart, and I like sharing a tale, starting a conversation, or finding the poetry hidden in everyday moments.
Being a musician, filmmaker and activist, I bring a deep curiosity about people, place, and the emotional undercurrents of history. Whether it’s through a personal memory, a biblical twist, or a funny-but-true Amsterdam anecdote, I love creating connections that go beyond the surface. For me, guiding in this city isn’t just about facts—it’s about soul, tensions between old and new, and transformation. And I can’t wait to share some of that with you
Guide and Storyteller
Hi, I’m Chantal – a writer and illustrator with a great passion for introducing people to the city that has been my home for the past 13 years. Originally from Germany, I have lived in Sydney, London, Marrakesh and Bristol before packing my bags for (maybe) the last time and settling in Amsterdam.
I love meeting new people and as a writer, stories are, of course, my daily bread. But it’s one thing to write them down and never see the actual reader, and another to tell them to people who are standing right in front of you. And that’s what’s so nice about being a tour guide: telling stories, answering questions about them and together digging even deeper into the history of this fascinating city.
Guide and Storyteller
I’m Lukas – a Bavarian original who came to Amsterdam 3 years ago to pursue my master’s degree after missing all the application deadlines in other cities. But I stayed for the urban planning, cycling infrastructure, and, of course, love. As a certified yapper, I’m always up for sharing my great thoughts and stories! I absolutely love being outdoors, so having the chance to talk to people while exploring Amsterdam is a pretty great gig, if you ask me.
With a background in Global Health I have a strong interest in history, culture, people, and their life stories. So living in Amsterdam, a vibrant, multi-plural society, is great for me! I love getting glimpses into different lives, finding inspiration, and sharing these insights with our wonderful guests.

Hi, I’m Marlene, your guide! I also study here at the University of Amsterdam. Guiding has given me a deeper love for Amsterdam—not just its famous sights, but its hidden corners, untold stories, and the people who bring it to life.
I was born in the U.S. and grew up in Germany, so I’ve always seen the world through a mix of perspectives, and I love sharing that curiosity with others. I can’t wait to take you on a journey through this incredible city and hear your own stories along the way!
