“Crazy Artist”
Andy is a crazy artist and passionate traveler. Over the years she visited and lived in many different countries around the world – being a tour guide, artist and life explorer. Currently she fell in love with Amsterdam and so she enjoys the best of it. She is going to show you the city through her eyes, with a huge passion, energy and lots of fun.
“Translator”
“Helgi is an Icelander, who has been living in Germany for a while now. He studied English Literature and was a teacher of English for many years. Now he works as a translator when he is not doing walking tours of Cologne.”
“Uncle Archie”
“Matt followed love and landed in Amsterdam. A seasoned guide with more than ten years experience he has travelled four continents to get here. A natural teacher, he loves sharing history and random facts. With a passion for adventure and being 194cm tall try your best to keep up with Matt’s lekker tour. Matt loves learning Spanish, Dutch and Vietnamese so feel free to teach him new words if you have”.
“That guy”
“Cole grew up in a small town in rural Ohio and has spent his entire life since trying to get as far away from there as possible. His multiple applications to NASA having been turned down on the grounds of “lacking any useful skills whatsoever” and “oh my God, how did he get in here again”, Cole decided to turn to the only job he was actually qualified for: excitedly yelling at strangers in exchange for money. He fell off of part of a volcano one time, but it’s alright, he survived.”
“Ms Maja Master”
Born and raised in Croatia. She finished economics and management, but she also loves history and meeting new people, therefore she decided to join our team 😉 She loves animals, reading and riding bikes (which is a good thing in the Netherlands)! If you have a cat or a dog, feel free to bring them on the tour, because Maja always has snacks for them!
“Damir aka YesPeace”
“Croatian that currently feels more at home in Amsterdam than anywhere else – and is excited to show you around / why! Mostly doing tours to feed his passions – being outdoors, walking and meeting new people. Also as a therapy for this disease – logorrhea (R47.89) – talking way too much”.
I’m a father of two and a long time school teacher that discovered guiding in 2010 and never looked back. As well as a guide and teacher I’m an active artist and performer since 1980 beginning as a young punk in the California music wars up to the present all culminating in what it is I do currently namely oblique story telling over tiny music and sound performance. I offer street art and graffiti tours, Kreuzberg punk rock tours as well as Berlin city historical walks and WW2/ Cold War wandering adventures. I have over fourteen years experience as a guide and my arts and history background provide for an engaging and fun discovery of what this city has to offer. I can offer my tours in both English and German.

‘Non-Techie’
“Ananya is a ‘non techie’ Indian with a 70s hippie Woodstock – Goa vibe born in the wrong millenia having a love affair with Amsterdam! If you spot someone with bizarre filtered sunglasses you know it’s her! She’s awkwardly tall for an average Indian Woman and hence always a backbencher! 😉 Found her home in Dutchland where she can finally rant with people looking eye to eye! She is trilingual (English, Bengali and Hindi) and picks up languages pretty quickly especially slangs of any kind! While she walks you around the city narrating stories feel free to exchange slangs in different languages with her! She is passionate about cities, storytelling, history, human behaviour and loves mimicking people and animals! Bonus point – She has travelled extensively in India and can give you free insights on different Indian cuisines and culture apart from the usual Amsterdam stories! “
“The Guide”
“Hi my name is Darren, I was born just outside Nottingham. I have been guiding for more than 25 years but had always worked overseas. During the pandemic I was not able to travel overseas but still wanted to sharing my love of history and meeting new people. I joined the CYHIT family in 2020 and love introducing visitors and locals a like to my home city of Nottingham, sharing with them the unique, interesting & historical facts about my city. I have lived in Nottingham for almost 12 years and can say that I love the city and all it has to offer”.
“The Legend”
“Kai is the founder and nut job of CYHIT. Born in Brooklyn, NY has been living in Europe since 2007, from the age of 22. He started blowing minds (that’s what he thinks) in 2010 with his alternative tour concepts and goofy delivery. Pick a city, he is probably a guide there”.
“Smiles for miles”
“Outgoing and funny, Narella guided in different places around Europe, until the Kölner Dom and the Kölsch beer conquered her heart forever. After years of working as a tour guide, she knows about the importance of a warm smile and a good story to tell”.
“Señorita Stephania”
‘Stephania is not your typical Brit Bird, born and raised in Venezuela, obtained a degree in Tourism Administration Business, and did some unfinished Uni courses of International Studies and Diplomacy, worked for a many tourist related companies which means, she is a fellow traveller too! Has lived in North America and since 2019 in Nottingham. Stephania is passionate about?? Yes, you guessed it right; Tourism, History, Heritage, Linguistics, Arts and so much more. She is ready and more than happy to take you around Notts for an entertaining stroll and chat“!
“Irish lass”
(doing some serious AmsterDamage!)
“Liza is Irish but feels Dutch at heart. With a passion for cheese, beer and being brutally honest with people! Liza is a teacher who loves to travel and Amsterdam stole her heart and decided to come and teach tourists the crazy history of the city. This job proves to her family that you CAN get employed despite swearing like a sailor”!
