Welcome! I'm Ignacio, an architect and official tour guide. Amsterdam has been my home for 20 years, and I love showcasing its rich heritage, sharing it, exploring it, and enjoying it with my tourists as we wander through the city's neighborhoods, where I've guided thousands of travelers. My tours are sporadic, as combining my work as an architect and a tour guide isn't easy, but it's always possible. I've spent years immersed in studying the city, its history, exploring museums, alleyways, its architecture, and experiencing it firsthand. This is reflected in the high-quality tours I offer, which satisfy all the cultural expectations a tourist seeks. So, if you're looking for the perfect guide to discover Amsterdam, look no further!

Welcome to Amsterdam. I invite you to tour it for 2 hours, during which we will travel with my narration from the 12th century to the 21st century, and I will also explain how to read a city when you travel. 

As an architect and guide, I have carefully selected each point of the tour so that we can fully enjoy this beautiful and magical city, learn about its history, architecture, people, and have a unique cultural experience. 

The OBJECTIVE is to have a great time strolling relaxed, with humor, and enriching ourselves as we open the doors of Amsterdam in a HIGH-QUALITY tour, which is what I offer and what my architecture students, my family, friends, or personalities and artists from the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid enjoy, where I have "certain exclusivity" when they visit Amsterdam.


 SUPPORT MATERIAL FOR THE TOUR: photos, slides, and original museum pieces, an exclusivity that no other tourist offer in the city has. 

🍮​ At the end of the tour, if we have time and feel like it, after the excursion, we will go for a coffee or a beer, of course with a delicious Dutch apple pie (appeltaart), to recharge energy and continue chatting and having a good time.
