RAQUEL
Hi, I’m Raquel! I was born in Barcelona and five years ago I came to live in the Netherlands. I studied Early Childhood Education and worked in several schools as a monitor of extracurricular activities and in dining rooms.
In my first year in Holland I lived a beautiful experience. I was an Au Pair of a Dutch family. I lived with them and took care of the two kids. I felt at home! After thirteen months with them, I started the adventure of being a guide in Amsterdam and to this day I still enjoy this city every time I show their stories and places with people from all over the world.
Nice to dedicate myself to what I love: Walking, talking, Amsterdam, and the little ones!

VINCENT
Hi adventurers. From the surface Amsterdam looks so clean and idyllic. Almost like somebody painted the houses carefully with the finest brushstrokes.
But beneath the surface, forgotten stories from the past wait for you around every corner, in every alley and every canal. If Amsterdam was a book, you would need a whole library for it.
I’m Vincent, and I am here to tell you the fascinating tales of Amsterdam. I have not always been here. Like many, the city called to me, grabbed me and never let me go. Born in the northern German town of Lübeck, I spent 7 years in far south on the east African coast in the Kenyan city Mombasa.
One day I found myself telling stories to kids in the mountains of Austria when I was working at a family sports hotel. A few years later, I was immersed in the streets of Amsterdam, telling curious souls like yourself long forgotten tales of the city, that take you back hundreds of years.
I must warn you, once you walk with me you may never want to leave.
