Hey, I'm Alan, and I've been living in this beautiful city for over 27 years. I'm proud to call it my home. Over the years, I've seen Amsterdam change and grow, but its unique charm and character have always remained. As a seasoned local, I've discovered plenty of fascinating places that you won't find in any guidebook. From hidden gems in off-the-beaten-track areas to the city's top spots for local cuisine, I've got the inside scoop on all the best places to visit. One of my favorite things about Amsterdam is its parks and scenic routes. The city has some incredible green spaces that are perfect for exploring, whether you're looking for a quiet stroll or an invigorating bike ride. Amsterdam has an amazing food scene, and there are so many delicious dishes to try, from traditional Dutch favorites to international specialties. Whether you're interested in shopping, cityscape photography, or just exploring Amsterdam's unique culture and history, I'm here to help!
We loved Alan!!!!

Thanks to our wonderful guide Alan, it was a perfect visit. It was evident that he loved his city and made us fall in love with it. He adjusted his visit to our need. A must!

I was at first taken aback that we weren’t in a car but the tour guide was convincing that we could walk. He was down to earth, fun and authentic. Just loved his wit. We were the three degrees he called us. He more than fed our shopping frenzy. Thank you until we come back!
