Born and raised in Amsterdam, I travelled the world as a photographer and a travel editor in more than 100 countries before coming back to my true home and becoming a tour guide. Proud of my beautiful city, I wanted to show visitors the true essence of Amsterdam, bringing them to places unknown and inaccessible by the common tourists. My experience as a professional traveler taught me to look at a new city from a different perspective and I decided to transmit this awareness while organising customized private tours: with my companion and collaborator Ana, I founded my own company, a boutique tour company who's adventure started few years ago thanks to the energy of wonderful and passionate guides with rich knowledge and expertise: historians, teachers, journalists and artists aiming to show you the best of the Dutch Capital off the beaten paths in an ecofriendly and fun spirit. Historian and European Modern Age teacher, Ana loves details that make a city or an history unique and memorable. She also knows every inch of Amsterdam and loves telling stories when walking or cycling past the canals, the buildings and the city's highlights such as the Rijksmuseum or Anne Frank's house. As a photographer, I personally enjoy teaching photography technique in Amsterdam and its surroundings while guiding visitors. Discover the city's sustainable gastronomy through a cycling tour, enjoy a photography course focused on colors in the heart of the city or in a tulips field, and learn about flowers in a small and picturesque dutch village.
