About Who Is amsterdam tours

Hi, I’m Alexandra.

I used to sit in sales meetings talking targets while my heart was already wandering the canals collecting stories. So I quit corporate life and started Who Is Amsterdam Tours to do what I actually care about: connecting visitors with the real, human Amsterdam.

I’m a storyteller with a soft spot for humour, spoken-word moments and the tiny details that make you fall for a city.

When I’m not guiding, I’m probably eating strawberries, yelling at a football match (calmly, of course), scribbling spoken word, or disappearing into nature to reset.

If we meet on a tour, my goal is simple: you leave feeling like you’ve met Amsterdam — and like we could easily grab a drink and keep talking.

Hey, I’m Peter!
I’m originally from London, but have lived a little all over the world, from Paris to Dakar to Khartoum and Melbourne). I settled in Amsterdam in 2017 to pursue my PhD in Anthropology and quickly fell in love with this magical city!

Being an Anthropologist, I have a passion for Humans: their cultures, their stories, their habits, and their contradictions! Exploring the city, discovering what makes it’s inhabitants tick, how society functions, and sharing with others how those humans make the city of Amsterdam what it is, makes being a guide in Amsterdam a dream job for me. Join me for a tour and let’s explore together!

Hello there! I am Silver, born and raised in the heart of Amsterdam, a stones throw away from the Dam square. I have always loved talking to people, especially those from around the world, which makes me a very passionate guide. I’m sometimes a little chaotic, but that’s also part of the charm 😉

I love playing guitar, cooking food for my loved ones and being a bit of a nutter. If you want to experience Amsterdam through the eyes of a local, you have come to the right place.

Hi, I’m Cara.
I feel incredibly fortunate to be a true Amsterdam local—born here, raised here, and (happily) never left.
For many years, I worked in international motorsports, traveling the world for around 20 weeks each year. Yet every time I returned home, I found myself thinking the same thing: how beautiful Amsterdam truly is.
That thought inspired me to become a city guide.
In my tours, I combine the rich history of Amsterdam with my own personal experiences, offering a unique perspective on what the city once was, what it has become, and what it’s really like to live here. Through my eyes as a true local, I hope you’ll see Amsterdam in a way that goes beyond the usual sights.

Hey, my name is Robert, I’m from Germany and moved to Amsterdam 2 years ago for my Master. After recently graduating, I realised I fell in love with this city and want to keep calling it my home. The whole home part isn’t that easy though – I’ve stayed in 5 different places this past year!

Outside of giving tours, I follow my love for storytelling by going to all the beautiful arthouse cinemas we have in Amsterdam. Other than that you’ll often find me playing Ultimate Frisbee for the one and only Amsterdam student team, NUTS!

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

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 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.

Hello Folks! Im Danni, from Ireland but I am a bit of a pirate, I have lived everywhere and anywhere , with monks in India to the circus in mexico. I moved to Amsterdam to study storytelling, and yes thats what I love, stories!

My background is in theatre, but I have also been a tour guide in Barcelona as meeting new people, travel and exchanging stories is my passion. I cant wait to meet you on the story road to share a tale or two, to laugh, to bring Amsterdam alive for you.. because sometimes all we need is a good story.
