Hi, I’m Shahin — a local host here in Amsterdam. What I love most about this city are the canals, the culture, and the people. I enjoy wandering through the Jordaan, where every street has a hidden gem, whether it’s a peaceful garden or a quirky art shop. You’ll often find me by the canals with a coffee, just taking it all in. I’m especially passionate about Amsterdam’s history, from the Golden Age to World War II, and I love sharing stories that bring the past to life. I know the city’s neighborhoods well — from the charm of De Pijp and the bustle of the city center to the quiet corners visitors often miss.

Shahin was absolutely the best guide in so many ways! He was amiable, professional, warm and an excellent teacher. We cannot say enough good things about him. Shahin was a guide who wanted us to have a good time while exploring the wonderful city of Amsterdam. We were very lucky to get him for our guide!
