About this tour

Uncover the hidden stories behind Amsterdam's grandeur on this insightful and eye-opening walking tour. While the Dutch "Golden" Age is often celebrated for wealth, art and trade, few know the full extent of the colonial expansion, exploitation and slavery that funded it. Over the course of two hours, visit key historical sites across the city, tracing the rise of the VOC and WIC, the transatlantic slave trade, and the role of ordinary citizens in colonial enterprise. Along the way, hear stories of resistance, resilience and voices that challenged injustice. Gain a critical and balanced perspective, connecting Amsterdam's past to present-day debates around memory, identity and justice. Perfect for curious travellers, history students or anyone looking to go beyond the postcard image of the city.
