Legends, History & Ghost Walking Tour in Amsterdam

Discover Amsterdam’s mysterious past on this guided walking tour of history, legends, and ghostly tales. Explore haunted streets, historic sites like “Ghost Alley” and the “Weeping Tower,” while learning about witches, criminals, and restless spirits that still linger in the city. Wander historic streets, uncover hidden stories, enjoy a sweet Dutch treat along the way, and take home a souvenir.

This interactive tour isn’t just stories — you’ll be challenged to spot the seven virtues and seven sins hidden in the tales. What makes our tour unique is how we connect legend and fact. We’ve dug deep into Amsterdam’s archives to uncover real events behind the whispers and love sharing the authentic source material. You’ll leave with fresh insights into the city’s dark past — and maybe some goosebumps.

Perfect for history buffs, fans of legends and mysteries, and curious travelers seeking a unique Amsterdam experience.

  • Excellent 'must do' tour in Amsterdam!

    Absolutely fantastic tour! Luuk was a brilliant guide and we had a wonderful time. Lots of urban legends, ghost stories and historical facts all whilst walking a beautiful route around Amsterdam. The tour was really interesting and we enjoyed all of Luuk's extra details gathered from the city archives. He brought stories to life with extra photos and images on an iPad and was very knowledgeable about all of our stops. E even had a fun bingo game to play along the route and a tasty local biscuit. A definite must do in Amsterdam! The time flew by and the route was a comfortable walk. We came with my 8 month old baby and he loved the tour too, captivated by the sights and Luuk's storytelling throughout!

    Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. It's definitely heavier on the history and urban legends than spookiness. We had a great time!

  • Fantastic fun to see the city with different eyes. Recommended!

    We really enjoyed being a tourist in our own city and hearing so many beautiful stories (myths) and facts from Luuk that come to life during the walk. Never knew that the city has so many myths immortalized in its structures. Luuk is also a very nice storyteller! This concept is fun for everyone, from the Amsterdammer breed (who may also have a nice legend for Luuk to sift through) as well as for tourists who want to learn more about the city than the standard tourist round. From young to old, highly recommended!!

  • A mysterious history tour well done

    We really loved the great selection of stories and spots we’ve visited during this tour. It was very interactive and overall good value for money for a two hour tour.

    This was so much fun! I am a born and raised Amsterdammer and arrogant as Amsterdammers are;-) do you think you know 'everything' about 'your' city. Nothing turned out to be further from the truth, because I didn't know there was a story to tell about any of the places on the tour. The tour is very well put together and made me feel like I wanted to know more about some stories. Luuk is a fun, cozy and smooth tour guide that quickly becomes clear that it is a huge history lover. Facts, fiction, but also humor alternate in this tour through the heart of Amsterdam-Centrum.

  • Great Amsterdam afternoon!

    I had a great afternoon with the tour of Luuk in Amsterdam. I am a native of Amsterdam but I have learned a lot and seen beautiful places. Luuk is a born storyteller and has given us a super fun day and we have learned a lot. I would recommend it to anyone!

    It was a very interesting, entertaining and varied city walk. A good alternation between different stories with documents and drawings where possible. Luuk is a fantastic storyteller. Really highly recommended!

    Luuk showed us around the oldest streets of Amsterdam. And at the same time we got to know a lot through the old stories & legends. Luuk is an enthusiastic and fun storyteller. A good alternation between stories, riddles, walks and a new look at the historic buildings and surroundings.
