“Not many people realise the impact of the hippies on our history. Much of the freedom that we have today comes from te Hippie era. Freedom is one of the most important values of Amsterdam, which I love to explore and keep alive. I live in the city centre of Amsterdam and would love to show you a new perspective on this part of Amsterdam.”
By asking communities how our tours can enrich and give back to the places we travel to, we create tours that help preserve the beauty and culture of Amsterdam.
