Get even more queer history with our original LGBTQ+ History tour (available year round).
Small-Group Walking Tour
The world’s first gay marriage was officiated by the mayor of Amsterdam at its City Hall. But did you know that the city’s LGBTQ+ history stretches centuries? Meet historical Amsterdammers across the gender spectrum and sexual orientations.
DURATION: 2 hours
We’ll keep you updated (but not too often) about things Badass Tours.
In the week leading up to the 2024 Pride Parade, we’re spending every evening reveling in the stories of our communities’ heroes while walking through the beautiful canal belt.
Most LGBTQ+ tours – our included – includes stories of violence and homophobia. To celebrate Pride 2024, we’ve removed those stories and added more international badasses. We’ve also knocked 25% off our normal price.
So come join us to learn Amsterdam’s rainbow history and head to your next party saying: “We’re queer and we have always been here!”
