Lectures

Are you looking for an inspiring lecture for your party, organisation, event, or gathering? I offer engaging lectures based on the same themes as my tours. With captivating storytelling and a presentation, I take my audience on a journey through time, focusing on the development of Amsterdam and its people.

The lectures can be delivered at a location of your choice: in your home or office, during an event, or at a venue in Amsterdam arranged by me. You can choose from one of my existing themes or request a customised topic tailored to your interests and needs.
