Amsterdam for beginners ;)
Born in Spain, daughter of a madrileña and a panamanian, I brought here in my back the sangría and the sancocho to enjoy properly the canals, tulips and windmills. I fell in love with Amsterdam about 15 years ago, and eversince I lived in 6 countries and traveled more than 30... until this city caught me tight. Just one tour, and you'll understand why.

We meet at Dam Square, under one of the lions next to the obelisk. I'm 1.5 meters tall (easy to spot among the locals 😁) and if it's cold or raining, I'll be wearing a white jacket and my guide card around my neck ^^ Before the start of the tour, I'll share my exact location for ease.
Description
What do you expect when someone tells you "We're going to Amsterdam!"?
Let me guess: windmills, canals, little houses, tulips and other flowers that I am not allowed to write about... However, what you may not know is that you have come to the most international and surprising city in Europe. Did you know that this small town was one of the richest and most influential cities on the planet? That the stock market, capitalism and multinationals originated here more than two centuries ago? And that this country has emerged from under the water (literally, and it continues to grow)? I'm sure that at some point you wondered why the houses are like that and why people always ride bicycles, to begin with.
Don't worry, we'll also talk about windmills and flowers. During this 3-hour historical tour, I'll help you understand why Amsterdam is today and unravel all the secrets of this incredible city so that you don't miss anything.
- The entire tour takes place in the city centre, the historic centre that holds all the secrets of Amsterdam's origins, with the exception of the Red Light District due to local regulations.
- There will be survival tips and recommendations for you and your pocket (food, leisure, services...) :D
- You can ask whatever you want at any time during the tour. We have come to make the most of the city and we have little time!
- We will visit the most famous and most photographable places in the center, so bring your batteries!
