LGBTour Amsterdam
LGBTOUR Amsterdam began with Sanne Pols, a professional storyteller who wants to convey Amsterdam’s queer history by guiding both visitors and locals through LGBTQ+ history.
Sanne now welcomes thousands of people who listen to her stories that you won’t find in books. Through her tour, the historical center is transformed into a vibrant map full of personal stories and pink history.
