Additional Information
Amsterdam, a city with an almost 800-year-old eerie past, reveals traces of its ancient deceitful events in its obscure alleyways. The place is teeming with stories of homicide, gory disloyalty, and envious paramours who descended into lunacy and wrong-doing. Disturbed spirits hover around the city’s byways, eternally seeking solace from their unending agony.
Armed with a reliable lantern, our courageous guide will lead you through the spectral aspect of Amsterdam, unveiling narratives of pitch-black betrayals.
This entertaining tour will reveal Amsterdam’s history and its darker, more chilling city tales. Although the tour is mainly geared for amusement, it will delve into some of the city’s more grim stories, which might not be suitable for a younger audience.
With its illuminated bridges and shimmering reflections, Amsterdam becomes bewitching after sundown. As we venture into the city’s darkest corners together, who knows who or which presence we might stumble upon?

Spooky journey through time and reality - I enjoyed so much this spooky tour. Stephan made a real performance for us. Guiding us with his lantern, he took us to the journey through time and reality. It was really spooky and very professional.

The Best Spooky Halloween Tour - I am someday going to do this tour live, but right now it is just virtual. One of the best guides. Stephan's imagination has no limits. His knowledge of the area along with embellishments makes it one of the best spooky Halloween tours I have ever seen (except for last year!!!) Always a must see.

A never miss these tours from Stephan van der Meer. He is amazing! - Stephan has once again, outdone himself!! The music in the background, puts you in the spirit of the night of Hallowe'en along with all of the effects he puts into place to make if so realistic. He creates a scene where you are scared for him and another who crashes into a house as a witch on a broom. Then the ending where he is killed, is so real, just amazing!! Do not miss his tours, you will be delighted, amazed, learn and totally enjoy

A Ghostly Tour on Halloween - Sooooooo spooky! What a Halloween tour! Loved it. A great fun tour with lots of spooky stories. Would have loved to have done this in person but since it was physically impossible this was perfect. Stephan creates the atmosphere and I won’t spoil it by telling what the ending was but will just say that it was great.

Enjoy a Spooktacular Evening of Fun with Stephan. - You cannot go wrong with a tour from Stephan - knowledgeable and funny.
He turns a tour into a real 'experience'. There are so many ghost stories and hauntings to hear about - but these are also mixed in with historical facts.
An entertaining and fun evening - Stephan really gets into the spirit of the evening - you might even spot some gruesome bits and pieces along the way - so keep your eyes peeled.
If on this or any of Stephan's other tours, you will not be disappointed.

Enjoy a Spooky Amsterdam with Stephan - Stephan really knows Amsterdam very well - and therefore has lots of pertinent tales from around the city. He is also rather theatrical - and really gets into character and makes the event more of an occasion - rather than just a dull walk from place to place.
He enjoys building up the spooky atmosphere - leading us down small side alleys and past graveyards - keep an eye out and you might see something gruesome!!
So many interesting stories - that involve ghosts and hauntings, but also interwoven with the history of the city, and even a few comic elements!
A really interesting experience and time will fly!
