Hey, I'm Alan, and I've been living in this beautiful city for over 27 years, and 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. I'm an expert in all things local cuisine. 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!

    Wonderful afternoon with Alan. He was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable. I’d recommend him to my friends and use him again.

    He tailored our afternoon according to our likes and what we had already seen of Amsterdam. He was knowledgeable and great company. I’d recommend him to my friends and definitely ask for him again

    Our trip was fantastic, and enjoyed it very much. You were a pleasure to hang with for a couple of hours. So knowledgeable, personable, generous, and most importantly - you kept us from being run over by those crazy cyclists! I don't have (or want) a TripAdvisor account so I can't log in and put it out there; but wanted you to know how much we appreciate your time. Holly

    I had a 13 layover and decided to book a walking tour. Alan was absolutely amazing. He kept me entertained and even got me to try some of the local favorite cuisines. I am so grateful for this experience.
