Hey there! I'm Paul, your go-to local host in the heart of Amsterdam. What I love most about Amsterdam is its vibe, and that feeling of anticipation while exploring the diverse neighborhoods. Whether it's the historic allure of Weesperzijdestrook, the vibrant energy of Pijp, the laid-back charm of Jordaan, the electrifying atmosphere of the Red Light District, or the timeless beauty of the Canal Belt, each corner has a story to tell. As a true Amsterdammer, I've mastered the art of navigating the city on two wheels, capturing its essence through the lens of my smartphone. Cycling around, discovering hidden gems, and indulging in the culinary wonders of new restaurants – that's my kind of day So, if you're ready for an unforgettable journey through the heart and soul of Amsterdam, let's embark on this adventure together!

Our guide was AMAZING! He really took time to show us things that interested us as well as many fun surprises! We really enjoyed our day with him. We had dinner together and he walked us back to our hotel which was super sweet. The BEST tour I’ve ever been on. One of a kind. Highly recommend.
