Frequently asked questions
-
Each walk is a small group of 2–6 people. Whether you're a solo traveler or a larger group, just reach out as I'm happy to talk through options.
-
The most important thing is to wear comfortable shoes. We're walking Amsterdam's cobblestones and stepping in and out of shops and ateliers, so think "well-dressed and ready to walk," not formal.
-
Not at all. Some guests are seasoned collectors; others are not as familiar with antiques, thrift shopping, or open markets, but they are curious. However, both walks are built to meet you where you are, whether you need guided assistance or are an expert on your own.
-
That's the best part. I'll connect you with a trusted shipping partner who handles the rest so that you can buy with confidence, even for larger items.
-
Yes, if you'd like a walk exclusively for your party, let me know when you reach out, and we'll arrange it.

The Jordaan Antique & Design Walk is a quieter, curated afternoon that takes you through private galleries and ateliers. The Noordermarkt Hunt is a livelier, market-day adventure through stalls and a sprawling mid-century warehouse with real treasure-hunting energy. If you're not sure which one fits you, tell me what you love, and I'll point you in the right direction.
-
Amsterdam doesn't wait for sunshine, and neither do we. These are outdoor walks between indoor stops, so we tour rain or shine. In the case of genuinely severe weather, I'll reach out to reschedule.
-
As soon as you know your dates. Walks run in small groups with limited availability, especially for the Monday-only Noordermarkt Hunt.
-
Created for an adult audience, this experience is best enjoyed without children. The overall pace, interactions with dealers, and style of browsing are specifically tailored to design enthusiasts and collectors.
-
Unfortunately, no. We're on foot for the full duration, crossing cobblestones and climbing narrow, centuries-old staircases into warehouses and ateliers that predate any accessibility standard. If mobility is a concern, this walk won't be comfortable.
-
Feel free to photograph anything you're considering for yourself. Many of the shops and ateliers we visit are private spaces that open their doors as a courtesy, though, so I'll always ask before either of us photographs the space itself or the people working in it.
