Amsterdam private tour

	jordaan 2 The Jordaan was built in the 17th C for the artisans and craft people with professions that made a lot of noise and pollution. They were not allowed to live along the main canals. Still nowadays the Jordaan is an area with many cafés, restaurants and art galleries. #jordaan #amsterdam #amsterdambeauty #guide_service_amsterdam #visitholland #iamyourguideinamsterdam #amsterdam_walkingtour #bike_tour_amsterdam #fremdenfuehrerin_amsterdam #cityvibes #traveltips #iloveamsterdam #walkwithmeinamsterdam #besuchensieamsterdam #yourprivateguideinamsterdam
	amsterdam buildings 2 The Oude Kerk (Old church) was built on the spot where in the 13th C a wooden chapel had been erected. The church was consecrated at the beginning of the 14th C and was dedicated to St Nicolas, the patron saint of sailors. After the Alteratie (reformation) in 1578 the church became a protestant church and the name was changed. Nowadays the church is a centre for art and heritage. #amsterdam_buildings #guide_service_amsterdam #visitamsterdam #walking_tour_amsterdam #your_private_guide_in_amsterdam #amsterdambeauty #oudekerk #iamyourguideinamsterdam #amsterdamviews #fremdenfuehrerin_amsterdam #besuchensieholland #amsterdam_in_the_autumn

	amsterdamstories The Begijnhof is a hidden gem in the centre of the city. Dating back to the Middle Ages, a Begijnhof (Béguinage) was a courtyard (hofje) where catholic ladies lived. It was not a convent, the houses were private property and after the Alteration (reformation) in 1578 the ladies continued living there, but their church was transformed into a Presbyterian church, (the English church)and they could no longer openly worship. In 1671 a schuilkerk (hidden church) was created from two houses opposite the church (nowadays the Miracle church). On the Begijnhof you can also find one of two remaining wooden houses. #amsterdamstories #begijnhof #guide_service_amsterdam #visitamsterdam #fremdenfuehrerin_amsterdam # amsterdamhofjes #amsterdambeauty #amsterdamview #walking_tour_amsterdam #amsterdamworld #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #traveltips #iamyourguideinamsterdam #iloveamsterdam #besuchensieamsterdam #cityvibes
	amsterdam bar On a rainy day like today, there’s no better place to shelter than in a bruin café (brown bar) such as Café Hoppe. There has been a café here since 1670. The first cafés originated in the 17th C as coffeehouses (hence the name; café is french for coffee) other beverages were served in so called tapperijen or beer houses. Brown bars date back to the 19th C when housewives used their front rooms to serve beverages to clients in order to supplement the household income. This explains the cozy interior of the brown bars and the subtle illumination. The sand (sometimes sawdust) that you see on the floor used to protect the floorboards from discoloration due to the chewing tobacco the clients spat on the floor. It also worked as a kind of sanding paper on the wooden floorboards. #amsterdam_bar #bruincafé #amsterdam #guide_service_amsterdam #amsterdamvisit #caféhoppe #amsterdamworld #amsterdamvibes #iamyourguideinamsterdam #walking_tour_amsterdam #amsterdamstreets #visitamsterdam #traveltips #amsterdamtravel #fremdenfuehrerin_amsterdam #besuchensieamsterdam #cityvibes #amsterdambeauty #your_private_guide_in_amsterdam #photooftheday
	amsterdam canals You can still find locks in the Amsterdam canals. They used to protect the city from flooding when the port was connected with the Zuiderzee( Southern Sea). The leaning house used to be the lock keeper’s house, nowadays it houses a bar called de de Sluyswacht. #amsterdam_canals #walking_tour_amsterdam #guide_service_amsterdam #visitamsterdam #your_private_guide_in_amsterdam #amsterdambeauty #cityvibes #traveltips #amsterdamstories #fremdenfuehrerin_amsterdam #iamyourguideinamsterdam #amsterdam_in_the_fall #bike_tour_amsterdam
