This is the first of its kind tour that is focused on the Dutch colonial history from the 16th Century forward. We explore the city's 'hidden history' of the earliest black presence, that didn't begin with slavery, that we make visible on national monuments, canal houses and museums. We also stop at popular attractions in the city. Note: We also offer private group tours upon request.
