About Us

Our story

Michael and Christian are the founders of The Amsterdam Feeling: “We left Germany 25 years ago and have been living in Amsterdam since then. We are experienced world travellers having visited more than 40 countries on all continents.

When coming to Amsterdam we developed a passion for its architecture and the rich history. Turning passion into a profession we became tour guides and founded The Amsterdam Feeling, specialising in private, personal groups, off the beaten track experiences and historic walking routes.

So join us and discover your own Amsterdam Feeling!”

OUR MISSION: Building memories

“We had a great time on this tour and would recommend this for anyone. Michael was so gracious and showed us some really cool and quiet parts of the city that we’d never have found on our own as tourists. A little history mixed with beautiful spots- 10/10 would book it again in a heartbeat!“, Margret from the United States (August 2023)

Christian and Michael are both from Dortmund, Germany. Both are passionate world travellers having visited 40 countries on all continents. In 2010 they did an all-around-the-world trip in six months. Both call Amsterdam their home for nearly 25 years. 

Michael graduated from the University of Dortmund with a degree in social sciences. His hobby is photography. Many of his photos are displayed on this website.

Christian holds a dual degree in International Business and Management and has worked for many years in international companies: “In 2017 the idea developed that we would like to share our fascination about Amsterdam with other travellers from all over the world. It was the moment when The Amsterdam Feeling was born.”

Christian´s passion is history and during his walking tours you will be able to listen to his fascinating story telling. “We focus us on small, personal groups or private tours in Amsterdam and surrounding to provide the best experience to our guests.”

As Christian´s career path also brought him to Barcelona, both got attached to the beautiful city by the Mediterranean Sea as well. That is why they also divide their time between the two cities and founded The Barcelona Feeling. This way they are able to share their passion for both fascinating places with guests from all over the world .
