What To Expect
Gay Monument
Amsterdam is one of the most liberal cities in the world. No wonder it was the first city worldwide to legalise gay marriage. Our meeting point is the Homomonument where you'll learn why we have this wonderful Monument and what role it plays for us and the world.
Westerkerk
The biggest church in Amsterdam, built 1619 – 1631, the Western Church, is the most important Protestant church in the city, while its bell tower – the Westerkerk Tower built 1619 – 1631- Dutch: Westertoren, remains until today the pride of Amsterdam, regarded by many, as the city symbol.

5.00We had the most incredible time on our walking tour with Adam. We saw the city in a way that we never could have on our own. He told us fascinating history, educated us about the local culture, showed us little known places with quirky vibes, and we had amazing apple pie and beer! We also got to meet Sunny, a local to Amsterdam and learn more about her life there. It was a great way to see the city so we could explore it on our own with a lot more tailored information - we received recommendations based on their experience and our own interests. If you are considering a walking tour on your visit, make it this one!
Adam was the best!

5.00What an excellent excursion around Amsterdam with Adam. Highly recommend this small group walking tour. Having the opportunity to meet and talk with locals made the tour so special. Shout out to Warren and Sunny!

5.00We did this tour on our very first day in AMS. Adam was our friendly, knowledgeable guide. He knows his way around the neighborhoods and the people. We met with Warren, the FlowerBikeMan, and the “Ugly” antiques shop owner from Jordaan. Both had interesting stories to share. The Apple pie at Cafe ‘t Papeilanad was one of the best I’ve had! Totally worth the time and Adam’s narrative keeps it interesting - “We invented capitalism, you’re welcome!”
