Underground tours

From depths to heights: Amsterdam’s Untold Journeys, Guided by Underground tours.

Delve into the hidden layers of Amsterdam’s soul with our transformative Underground Tours, uniquely offered on a boat and guided by people living on the fringes of society. Navigate the city’s waterways as these remarkable guides, who are themselves homeless or former addicts, share their intimate stories and perspectives.

Board the boat, where authenticity and empathy merge into an experience that defies conventional tourism. With your guide’s personal insights, you will travel through parts of Amsterdam that are often overlooked and hear stories that shed light on both the struggles and strengths of those who took to the streets.

As the boat glides through the canals and takes in the picturesque landscape, your guide will recount their own journey and share stories of resilience, hardship and ultimately transformation. Their stories transcend stereotypes and offer a humanising perspective that bridges gaps of understanding and compassion.

This tour is a powerful exchange, an opportunity for participants to actively engage in meaningful dialogue, ask questions and embrace the profound connections that arise when different lives intersect. By the end of the trip, you will not only have explored the hidden corners of Amsterdam, but also gained a deep appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit.

Underground Tours on a boat in Amsterdam are a tribute to human stories that often go unheard. With every ripple in the water, these guides ripple the boundaries of society and bridge different worlds. Join us for an experience that transcends tourism, forging connections and igniting empathy as you sail through the city’s waterways with these extraordinary guides by your side.
