SoulTours Amsterdam takes you where the soul of the city lives — deep in the Bijlmer, the most vibrant and misunderstood part of Amsterdam. This is where Dutch hip hop artists were born, where poetry met protest, where cultures blended into something uniquely powerful.
We don’t do picture-perfect postcards. We do real stories, real people, real places. From the sounds of Flinke Namen, Ray Fuego, Dret & Krulle and more, to Caribbean and African kitchens, Surinamese rhythms and Afro-Dutch activism — the Bijlmer is raw, layered and alive.
Founded by a Bijlmer-raised storyteller, SoulTours is about reclaiming history and showing the world a side of Amsterdam that rarely makes it to the guidebooks. We walk. We talk. We vibe.
