I am an official guide. On this tour I will tell you about the origins of Amsterdam, which date back to the year 1000, when the farmers and fishermen of this swampy area settled next to the Amstel River where they built their first houses and the old Church. In 1275 a dam was built on the Amstel River, which eventually gave rise to the city's name Amsterdam.
Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. No two days are the same here, its culture, tolerance, its organization, that human scale makes this special. No city in the world has preserved its 17th century form so intact.
This is the result of carefully executed planning according to its principles of conserving its national heritage.
My passion for history, architecture, and the development of this country makes my work become one of my hobbies.
The purpose of this tour is for you to understand as much as possible about this country, its culture, its customs, and its secret corners.
