Private Amsterdam Walking Tours
History-rich walks with Kurt.
A private Amsterdam tour for travelers who want more than postcard views: Jewish history, Anne Frank context, hidden churches, WWII, canal stories, and the human side of the city.
Featured Reviews
Guests remember the depth, warmth, and pacing.
A few recent notes from travelers who wanted Amsterdam’s history with context, care, and room for real conversation.
The guest called it one of the most meaningful ways to understand Amsterdam, with strong pacing and carefully chosen stops.
Annette praised the relaxed feel, deep WWII knowledge, and the way familiar Amsterdam streets became new again.
Cindy booked last minute and still got a tour that felt tailored, vivid, and far from a standard recitation of facts.
Why Kurtis
A guide for people who want the story behind the street.
Sometimes gritty. Sometimes not what you read about in your history book. But always honest.
Story-first history
Religion, migration, resistance, trade, loss, identity, and everyday life.
Private by design
The route adapts to your interests, questions, pace, and energy.
Serious, but human
Especially strong for Jewish Amsterdam, Anne Frank context, and WWII.
Real Walks, Real People
Private tours should feel personal from the first moment.
Most guests arrive with a few questions and leave with a more layered sense of the city. The walk is private, conversational, and shaped around the people in front of me.
