  • ## Fascinating stories about Dutch women
  • Undoubtedly the most famous Amsterdammer is Anne Frank, but she’s the only woman mentioned on far too many tours. Which is a shame, because they’re missing some amazing stories. From medieval religious enclaves to Resistance hideouts in World War II, women built this unique city – sometimes literally! We’ve chosen our favorites from across the city’s history for this walking tour.
  • ## Hold up. Is this tour also for men?
  • Absolutely! While this tour celebrates the incredible women who shaped Amsterdam, it also serves as a fantastic introduction to the city itself — its history, its landmarks, and the people who have defined it. As we walk through Centrum, we cover both well-known highlights and hidden stories, offering a rich perspective on Amsterdam’s past.
  • This tour is for everyone. Men are not only welcome but encouraged to join, discovering how Amsterdam’s history has been shaped by individuals of all genders. We’ve had plenty of husbands, boyfriends, brothers, and friends take part, and they leave just as engaged and inspired as everyone else — sometimes even more so!
