All About Me:
Hi, I’m Guido, also known as Guido the Guide. I was born and raised in Amsterdam’s famous Jordaan district, close to the Anne Frank House. I’ve been guiding visitors around the city for many years. I combine my love for Amsterdam with my career of writing theatre, comedy, music, and screenplays, and I still sometimes perform as an actor and comedian. I absolutely adore my hometown, and enjoy sharing my view of this ever-changing, endlessly fascinating city.
My tours are a mix of storytelling, history, making a genuine connection, and creating an experience that feels personal. I’m especially drawn to Jewish heritage tours and Second World War history; these subjects are deep, sensitive, and endlessly rich.
When I’m not guiding, I’m spend my time exploring. I love discovering offbeat neighbourhoods, tucked-away restaurants, peaceful parks, and places that show Amsterdam’s local heartbeat. Humour, insight, curiosity, that’s what I bring to every tour.
You can take the following tours with me:
Amsterdam City Highlights – walking & by bike
My favourite place in Amsterdam is the quiet courtyard of the Begijnhof. It feels like you step out of the busy city and into a small hidden world filled with history, calm and beautiful old houses. I always bring guests there when I want to show them a more intimate side of the city.
