Great experience with a group! - This is the second time we did the financial history in Amsterdam as an organization, the local guides are knowledgeable about Amsterdam financial history.
The highlight for me was seeing the worlds first stock exchange and learning about VOC- The Dutch East Indian Company!

Informative - A very relaxed and experienced guide. Willing to talk and answer questions.

Historical Tours are not only for visitors. - We’ve lived in Amsterdam for 10 years and finally took the time to learn more about the fascinating history. The financial tour did not disappoint - learning about both the financial innovations of the Dutch, but also the uncomfortable truths in its history.
Thank you, Thijs, for the engaging tour!
