Visit Amsterdam & Rotterdam with Cityloop!
Private Tours, Great Guides. That’s the idea.
We are architects and architectural historians and we live in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. We helped to build these cities – or at least we have strong opinions about them. So we can proudly claim that we know them inside out, and that we love to communicate our knowledge.
Cityloop Team
Jelte van Koperen is the driving force behind Cityloop.
He started his career as a carpenter and worked his way up to a Masters degree in History of Architecture, while also working as a tour guide for the past ten years.
He can explain architectural concepts and policies of the last 700 years, but also has down-to-earth knowledge about how to make a house or restore a foundation. He will even tell you about the houses he helped to build.
With his soft spot for urban planning, he is excited about how Amsterdam is getting ready for its millionth inhabitant. But he’ll also tell you where the nicest bars and restaurants are. Because let’s be real, that’s also very important.
In short: Jelte will go the extra mile to bring you the best experience.
Rudolph Kempers knows how to turn dry architecture facts into the personal stories of inhabitant. He can tell you how they live inside these places and in which way they influence them. It is all about context.
Rudolph started his career as an artist, and still has his own studio. Communicating your point of view is very helpful in the art business, so it was a logical step for him to teach at high schools in Amsterdam and to guide tours.
He has a penchant for contemporary architecture and its evolution in this ever-changing society. Let Rudolph take you through the cityscapes of Amsterdam and explain how people live!
Esther Kreikamp is an architecture historian and knows her way through Amsterdam, its history and architecture. She can tell you all about a myriad of subjects, from housing policies, the architecture of the canals and the newest developments, and even about the design of playgrounds!
She captivates you by making you observe your environment and including you in the stories of the city. Her enthusiasm and passion makes you want to know more about beautiful Amsterdam.
