Over deze outing

Discover the complex history behind Amsterdam's renowned grandeur with this comprehensive and thought-provoking walking tour. While the Dutch 'Golden' Age is often recognized for its wealth, art, and trade, the deeper narrative of colonial expansion, exploitation, and slavery that underpinned this prosperity remains less widely known. During this two-hour guided experience, participants will visit significant historical sites throughout the city, exploring the ascent of the VOC (Dutch East India Company) and WIC (Dutch West India Company), the transatlantic slave trade, and the involvement of everyday citizens in colonial enterprises. The tour also highlights stories of resistance, resilience, and individuals who challenged prevailing injustices. Gain a nuanced and critical perspective that links Amsterdam's past to contemporary discussions on memory, identity, and social justice. This tour is ideally suited for inquisitive travelers, history enthusiasts, and students seeking a deeper understanding of the city's heritage beyond its iconic landmarks.
