We combine two things we are good at to serve hotels and restaurants in Amsterdam-Noord: local storytelling about Amsterdam-Noord & private guiding experiences (with an online visibility layer)
Your hotel is more than a starting point for a tour. It is also a place from which guests begin to understand the area around them. I like to help make that first impression of Amsterdam-Noord more meaningful by sharing short stories and offering guided experiences directly from your location.

I would be happy to guide your guests privately, in English, Dutch, French or German.

Visiting hotel receptions and concierges in Amsterdam-Noord; presenting Lex and the City storytelling services, often starts with a simple introduction and conversation, supported by a short postcard:
City and countryside bike tour Amsterdam with e-bikes, starting at your hotel with a Lex and the City guide
We offer full-day bike experiences that start directly at your hotel. From there, we not only explore Amsterdam’s highlights and hidden places, but also extend into Amsterdam-East, Amsterdam-Noord and the surrounding countryside.
Including routes towards places like Durgerdam and the rural landscape above the city.
For full-day private tours, e-bikes are often used for comfort and range. We coordinate delivery at the hotel and take care of the full experience from start to finish.
