My name is Dominika and I am in love with Amsterdam. I moved here over 8 years ago, you will never meet anyone more obsessed with the city than I am. I am a language teacher, a content creator and a podcaster.
I've been showing the life in Amsterdam in my social media, for years. My podcast about Amsterdam is loved by my Polish audience. Now I want to show you around the city.

Tour description
This walk will take you along the medieval city walls of Amsterdam. It also happens to be one of the most beautiful canals in the city - Kloveniersburgwal.
Our tour will cover topics such as the origin of Amsterdam, the medieval city walls - with the defensive towers, Dutch expeditions, the Golden Age, the East India Company, the West India Company.
I will tell you about Rembrandt and his most important works, the social system in Amsterdam in the XVII century, religion then and now, and a few other interesting things.
Mind you the walk is slightly off the beaten path (still in the centre however).
