What you’ll do

With a loud and proud track record of supporting LGBTQ rights, Amsterdam has long been home to an energetic LGBTQ community.

Join one of our hosts on a personalized experience in which you will explore the significant sites relating to the LGBTQ movement in the city. Stroll from Amstel, a cornerstone neighborhood in the city’s LGBT history (might we suggest popping into Chez René or Amstel 54 - iconic spots) to Reguliersdwarsstraat, the heart, and soul of Amsterdam’s LGBTQ scene.

Allow your host to lead you off the beaten track and get a true taste of what this culture is really about - inclusivity, freedom, and of course, fun! Maybe try the popular gay bar, Taboo, or stop by at The Getto. This burlesque club comes bistro has been a ‘lounge’ for the LGBTQ community for decades.

You can get a tarot reading done whilst you wait for your food, but it’s their cocktail menu that’s really got our attention.

    Ack is an efficient, prompt guide. He speaks English fluently and takes the time to understand what you want to experience. He even remembered a couple of things I had forgotten. I highly recommend Ack as a local tour guide in Tokyo.

    We had a fantastic time and Michael was brilliant. He was very knowledgeable and showed us parts of Kyoto that we would not have seen. He was extremely friendly and chatty, which made us feel so at ease. Loved the whole experience and could not fault anything. We would definitely recommend Michael as a guide. Thank you

    The conversation never stalled with Alex. He shared the customs, rituals and history of the Gion district. He was always quick to point out great photo spots and take pictures of our family so we will have wonderful memories to remember the day and this beautiful city. He was sensitive to let us go at our own pace, pausing if we needed to, but always kept us moving as he pointed out special quiet sites and interesting corners of the city. He also shared tips about potential day trips from Kyoto and offered to be responsive to questions we may have even after our tour. He ended the day by dropping us off at a phenomenal ramen restaurant near our hotel. We’re so thankful that our first day in Kyoto began with Alex!
