Let's go for a walk underground. After all, Amsterdam's underground is full of art. Fourteen million people pass by this multitude of artworks each year, merely to perceive them as nothing more than a part of the decor. Meanwhile, some of them tell stories that any novelist would envy - about Amsterdam and its people, social problems and political conflicts, and love and freedom. The Amsterdam Underground can invoke debates or storytelling, making jokes, riddles and even pranks, turning any trip into a thrilling adventure.

Anastasia was a brillantly well informed and articulate guide. She was very engaging and not only knew her stuff but she delivered the tour in a very informative and clear way. It was due to last around two hours but it lasted almnost three hours. Thoroughly enjoyable and i would not hesitate in recommending Anastasia as a guide for this type of tour.

Maria, our guide, was very knowledgeable and patient. She took us around several metro stations, explained the history of the system and the democratic nature of choosing art for the spaces. It was well worth the cost, and I truly appreciated how she pointed out not just the artwork that we were seeing, but specific points of interest in the areas that we visited, like the de Pijp market. Would definitely recommend. It's a great way to spend 2 hours.

As they say, your life will never be the same if you once follow Nastya and descend with her into the depth of Amsterdam subway. It turned out that in Amsterdam each station has a coded message - cultural, historical or artistical. Nastya deciphers these messages, and you become not just metro passenger, but also attentive viewer of incrediable art objects and expert on the history of the city and the country hiden in the Amsterdam subway.
