Hi, I’m Daan! I am Dutch and I’ve lived in Amsterdam for many years after a life abroad (Mexico, Pakistan, Brazil etc). I love sharing the city’s vibrant contrasts—from world-famous museums to the buzz of the Red Light District, and then drifting along the canals on a boat with lunch or dinner to take it all in. I’m always curious and love walking through neighborhoods like De Pijp, the Jordaan, Oud-Zuid, and around Vondelpark, where you’ll also find the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum. Whether I’m exploring with friends, visiting spots I’ve shown my daughters, or just following my feet to an authentic local (spicy food) restaurant, I’m always discovering something new. I know the city and its people inside out—and I’d love to show you the Amsterdam I know and love!
The three hour tour of Amsterdam with our host, Daan, was everything we hoped for and more. He is a very personable and engaging guide who genuinely seems to enjoy what he does. We learned so much about this beautiful city through his storytelling and we even made a quick stop to enjoy (and we did) a herring sandwich! We highly recommend taking this private tour and specifically doing it with Daan. A&J

Having a private tour is the best way to get around and see Amsterdam. Our tour guide took us to the places we wanted to see, and moved at our pace since I am a very slow walker.
