Welcome to Amsterdam, I invite you to experience and tour this magical city that captivated me at first sight as an architect, for there is nothing like it in the world. I decided to live here 20 years ago, and I discovered that besides my architectural projects, it was a fascinating job to show the city to travelers, as I delve into the soul of the city, which I have researched and studied so much, and why not share it! In our 2-hour tour, we will explore from its origins to the 21st century.

As an Architect - Guide, I have carefully selected each point of the tour so that we can enjoy the excursion 100% and get to know its history, architecture, people, and live a unique cultural experience. 

The OBJECTIVE is to have a great time, walking enthusiastically, with humor, and enriching ourselves as we open the doors of Amsterdam in a HIGH-QUALITY tour, the same enjoyed by my architecture students, my family, friends, or personalities and artists from the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, where I have "certain exclusivity" when they visit Amsterdam, and my tourists who are travelers passing through.

 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 desire, after the excursion, we will go for a coffee or a beer, of course with a delicious Dutch apple pie (appeltaart), to recharge our energy and continue chatting and having a good time.
