What To Expect

Dam Square

Dam Square in Amsterdam has a dark history, witnessing witch trials in the Middle Ages, where the accused were burnt at the stake. It also saw World War II atrocities, including the 1945 shooting that killed dozens. This grim past has led to rumors of the square being haunted by ghosts of the executed and war victims.

    I really enjoyed this super-interesting tour of the dark history and ghost stories of Amsterdam. Our guide Maria is an expert in this topic and she provided a very engaging perspective with different points of view. What I liked the most was all the stories about historical Amsterdam that you won't be told about in any other tour.
