Description

This live-streamed online experience is about the canal belt of Amsterdam, an area which is so deeply rooted in history and adorned with beautiful architectural marvels that UNESCO decided to induct it on its list of most fascinating world heritage sites. 

We will start this experience from the 17th-century mansion along the most elegant canal. You will have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the interiors and interact with some former residents. Once out on the streets, the choice is yours: we can either walk and take a bike ride along the canals to the Anne Frank house and the West Indian House, where the idea to establish present-day New York was formed, or we may walk to the colourful flower market which is a visual treat.

Come join me on this unique online experience and let us explore Amsterdam together!

Ton Van Garderen

I am a Social Geographer and a certified national tour guide, I have a strong interest in history, architecture, art, society. In 1986, I graduated in Social Geography. Thereafter I worked for the city of Amsterdam in town-planning. There I discovered that office life is not my cup of tea. In 1994, I decided to make a living out of guiding in Amsterdam and other Dutch towns. I never regretted that decision. Working with people and sharing knowledge is big fun!
