Free walking tour of Amsterdam, iconic places in the historic center

"I have been studying Amsterdam for several years, its culture, its traditions, its history, and much more.
In my work, I have discovered an Amsterdam full of stories, legends, historical events, and monuments through which various generations have passed.
Walking through its narrow streets, admiring its classic houses, and understanding its myths have made my mission possible as a protagonist of this city, which has grown thanks to navigation and commerce.
I have also become a character from the past, as I try to decipher enigmas and answer all those questions that simply come to mind."

In this tour, we will travel through different eras and see the monuments that remain from that unique and solid past that has made this city a multicultural and free city, but at the same time a city that does not give up its traditions.

You can choose which itinerary to undertake on this journey into the past. You can see Amsterdam from a spiritual perspective, learn about its sufferings, and discover some of the stories that have made it one of the most important ports in the world.

If you are willing to get lost in the past, I invite you to join me on this journey full of surprises and mysteries that only those enchanted by history can tell.

The review includes some of the monuments we will visit, but everything will be a surprise that you will experience at the beginning of the tour.

Hello, dear tourists and travelers, I am Maribel, I live in Amsterdam. I am a certified tourist guide and I also work as a hostess for events and cruises. I have a degree in Social Sciences from the Catholic University of Rome and I also have a Master's degree in Cinema. I speak 4 languages (Spanish, Italian, English and Dutch). For me Amsterdam is an international city, an open city full of cultural and artistic events, a city full of legends and charm. What I like most about this city is the great diversity of events that I can find throughout the year, from music, song and film festivals to international food and drink festivals. My mission is to discover with you its historic center, where you will be able to nostalgically appreciate a city that over the years has been in constant change. A city that has lived through trade and navigation. We will look together for those most emblematic places to take a photo, one of my passions, it will surely be a very fun tour.
