Be delighted with a comprehensive tour of buildings that reflect Amsterdam’s Golden Age. Anna brings the period to life as she shares the architectural history of the selected buildings combined with background stories of the original inhabitants. You will learn about the central city canal neighborhoods to better appreciate what was behind the development of this remarkable city. As a proud native, Anna knows Amsterdam history and shares it in a delightful manner. I will be sure to hire her for another tour when I return next year.

The city’s architecture was fascinating, and Anna did an excellent job explaining how the different building styles evolved over the centuries as Amsterdam grew. She was friendly, accommodating, and happy to answer all of our questions. I highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and personal introduction to Amsterdam.

Anna is one of the best tour guides we’ve had. Clearly knowledgeable about Amsterdam’s history, architecture and social policies, and presented it all in an accessible and fun way. Anna pointed out features of the architecture that we may have overlooked if we randomly walked the streets, and she explained others that we had seen and wondered about. The one-on-one attention we received as a small group of three was perfect because we felt comfortable asking questions about the sites we visited as well as recommendations for additional sightseeing. Cannot say enough about Anna and her Golden Age Architectural tour. Highly recommend!

If you want to know more about what you are looking at in the canals of Amsterdam do this tour! We learned so much about the buildings and architecture of 17th century Amsterdam. This info isn’t in the guidebooks and Anna clearly takes you through all the history of the time and why and how this amazing area of Amsterdam was built. This whole section of the canal is what makes Amsterdam such a treasure so it’s worth knowing more about it.
