Thanks to our guests celebrated 2026 WorldPride with us! We can’t wait for Amsterdam Pride 2027!
Ready to get inspired by other amazing figures in Dutch history?
Be the first to know about other special events by Badass Tours:
In celebration of 2026 World Pride taking place in Amsterdam, we’re spending every evening reveling in the stories of our community’s heroes while walking through the beautiful canal belt.
During Pride, it’s especially important to revel in the long line of LGBTQIA+ people throughout history who lived their lives out loud. Our guides are trained storytellers who use the stories of people from the past to entertain and inspire.
Most LGBTQ+ tours – ours included – include stories of violence and homophobia throughout the centuries. For Pride 2026, 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!”
In addition to hearing about queer heroes, you’ll get to know Amsterdam and see points of interest.
