Description

My name is Dominika, and I am in love with Amsterdam. I moved here ten years ago. You will never meet anyone more obsessed with the city than I am. I am a language teacher, a content creator, and a podcaster. I've been showing life in Amsterdam on my social media for years. My podcast about Amsterdam is loved by my Polish audience. Now I want to show you around the city.

Amsterdam is a very special city - it has always been very open and tolerant, but at the same time protective of its residents. I want to show you why the people of Amsterdam are bold and confident, what kind of life they lead today, and why. We will talk about the famous tolerance and openness that Amsterdam is famous for.

I would love to tell you about all those events in the past that shaped the city as it is today. Why do so many people come here to play, and what are the consequences? I will also tell you about the current problems we're struggling with.

Keep in mind, the walk contains topics, such as slavery, sex work and lgbtq+ rights. Make sure - if you're booking for children - that you're ok with this kind of content.

Wonderful!

Dominika is a great guide! We loved the tour—she answered ALL of our questions, shared fascinating stories you can't find on Google, and made the tour interactive and engaging. We had a wonderful time and strongly recommend her!

Wonderful tour !

Dominika is an excellent tour guide ! We really discovered the history and culture of Amsterdam and the Netherlands through the beautiful buildings of its center. Despite the weather elements (under pourring rain), Dominika made it dynamic and joyful with her nice energy, sharing fun facts and tips on where to eat or what to visit next, explaining details about the buildings we were seeing. Thank you Dominika for this very nice experience! We would definitely recommend you to book this tour with Dominika at the beginning of your stay at Amsterdam!

Wonderful walk!

We did a walking tour of Amsterdam today with our very informed and enthusiastic guide Dominika. Although the weather was absolutely dreadful, Dominika managed to keep her audience engaged and interested throughout. I would highly recommend this walking tour as a springboard to exploring the wonderful city of Amsterdam.
