Meet The Ghosts Of The Past On This Evening Tour Through Medieval Amsterdam

Aside from the inevitable ghost story, we show you that the actual events of Amsterdam’s ominous past are much more horrific than a cold spot in a shady street. Dwell into the dark alleys of medieval Amsterdam on this historic tour, that will chill your blood more than the common ghost tour.

Let us take you on a trip down a haunted memory lane, along ruinous buildings and areas of reported ghost sightings. Find out where certain streets got their spooky names, such as the Bloedstraat (Blood Street) and the Spooksteeg (Ghost Alley).
