Your guide will wait at this triangle for your. Before the tour starts we will send you a picture of your guide so you can recognise her/him/them easily.
This was, by far, the best tour we have ever done, and we have tried all kinds in many different countries. Alexandra is not just an experienced and wonderful guide; she is a unique human being. The tour focuses on real people of Amsterdam with authentic stories, and independent and varied points of view. We met with her “friends”, and heard their own stories first hand, all whilst walking through De Wallen and Jordaan, experiencing a Brown Cafe, a Coffee Car, and an “Honest” Bar. Through all of this, Alexandra weaved a tapestry of interesting historical and contemporary issues without sounding like a school teacher or a political commentator. It felt like we were in someone’s living room. On top of that, she was able to create camaraderie amongst the rest of the tour participants. We all left the tour knowing something about each other and felt a warmth toward humanity. This is a one of a kind experience and it truly felt like a gift!
We were so looking forward to our tour, and it exceeded all of our expectations. We wish we had done it on our first day in Amsterdam because it gave us such an appreciation for the people, history, and architecture of the city! Xina our guide felt like a friend, we cannot say enough good things about them!!!
We had an unforgettable company outing in Amsterdam, thanks to “Who is Amsterdam.” This exceptional private city tour left us absolutely awe-struck and flashed and it was the highlight of our trip! Alexandra from “Who is Amsterdam” presented us HER Amsterdam, far away from dry facts and figures, but with real Amsterdamers and their way of loving, living and working in this vibrant city. It was a colourful, varied and never boring. We were all captivated by the rich history and culture of Amsterdam, and it was all thanks to their extraordinary guidance. Thank you so much Alexandra that you shared such a lot with us!
