“We have done many tours & experiences during our travels and this tour was hands down the most special memory we’ve ever had from one. Alexandra is completely redefining what it means to discover a place”
– Katie M
“I started out feeling ambivalent about Amsterdam, with little or no knowledge about how the locals live, and little idea of the history. Alexandra actually made me feel part of Amsterdam – like a local. Amsterdam now has me in its thrall.”
– Anne
“Alexandra takes all the taboo topics that somehow seem to be embraced wholeheartedly by the Amsterdamers and helps all of us look around corners at all perspectives to understand everything from a human perspective!”
– Andrea

Wanna Know More?
Who will I meet?
It depends on the availability of the featured Amsterdammers. It may be a humorous entrepreneur AKA the unofficial mayor of the Jordaan neighbourhood, or Amsterdam’s ‘cycle-therapist’. Whoever it is, get ready to meet the real Amsterdam.
Where will you take me?
Our journey begins in the charming Jordaan neighbourhood where we’ll take you to an Amsterdam coffeeshop, a vintage wonderland with a surprising side-hustle, with narrow canals and houseboats dotted along the way. Mid-way, enjoy an apple pie break at a legendary 200-year old brown bar. Freshly fuelled, we’ll make our way to the Red Light District. We’ll end this experience with a toast at Amsterdam’s most ‘honest bar’.
What is the maximum group size?
To keep things intimate, the maximum group size is 8 persons tops.
Is this suitable for teenagers?
During this experience, we do explore topics like sex work and cannabis culture. This is why this experience is suitable for 18+. But if you have an open mind and don’t mind having your teenagers on board, neither do we!
What if I don't drink beer and have dietary restrictions?
No worries, we serve alternative drinks like coffee, tea, soda or alcoholic beverages like wine. If you’re vegan or have dietary restrictions, simply indicate that when you book. We’ll sort you out.
