Amsterdam played a pivotal role in the founding of America.
Americans visiting Amsterdam should not miss the opportunity to search for the roots of their great nation in this beautiful city. Therefore I have developed a tour especially for americans.
Together we will walk in the shoes of John Adams and the Pilgrims. A must-see tour for any history lover!!
We will explore the beauty of Amsterdam with a special focus on 5 storylines:
1. The birth of capitalism in the most liberal city of the world, Amsterdam
2. The founding of New York City from the original Dutch colony New Amsterdam, including the voyages of Henry Hudson
3. The incredible journey of the Pilgrim settlers to Amsterdam and beyond
4. How the Dutch helped George Washington win the Revolutionary War through the Dutch trading post of St. Eustatius (Statia) in the Caribbean and the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War
5. Tracing Founding Father John Adams’ steps on his mission to recruit Amsterdam bankers to fund the American Revolution, plus a visit to the first US Embassy in the world
