Hello there! My name is Aarre Safari and I am a Detroit born, Amsterdam resident of over 17 years with a recently finished Masters degree in Dutch History.
My love for Dutch-land has long been established due to the high quality of life and the absolute breathtaking inner-city of Amsterdam. My personal interests include both teaching and learning about the Golden Age: the approximate 100 years in which the Dutch dominated global-trade. Additionally, I love introducing friends & guests to the surprising culture of local pubs and 17th century style cafes hidden around the old center. Come take a walk with an expat local and let's talk about Amsterdam: its history, architecture, culture and its future!
This was the highlight of our trip to Amsterdam! Aarre is super knowledgeable and engaging, learned so many things about Amsterdam. Highly recommend this tour :)
Seriously one of the best tours I did! Great historical information, as well as a good and respectful explanation of the Red Light District. Really friendly and polite guide, was super understanding of our need to translate for our mother and explained everything perfectly. Recommend 100% !
This was the best tour I have ever had. Aarre has a masters degree in history & knew so much about the neighborhood. He was very down to earth and it was like walking around town with a friend. Must do!
Not good. The tour guide didn’t turn up and he didn’t bother cancelling or informing. Only when I reached the meeting point and Messaged, he said he cant make it. Never again!
