About Captain Boertje
Captain Boertje is your local guide to discovering Amsterdam in a meaningful and personal way.
We offer live guided walking tours for travelers who want more than a standard sightseeing experience. Our tours focus on the stories, culture, and character that make Amsterdam unique.
During the tour, you will discover how Amsterdam grew from a small fishing settlement into a global trading city. You’ll learn about the Dutch Golden Age, the influence of trade, and how the city developed over time.
We also explore Amsterdam’s culture, including the origins of the Red Light District and the city’s modern identity. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into how the city was designed, including its canals, defenses, and expansion.
A key part of the experience is understanding Amsterdam’s architecture. As we walk along the canals, you’ll learn what makes the famous canal houses unique and what they reveal about life in the past. Our tours are available in English and Turkish, each conducted live in one dedicated language for a clear and personal experience.
