OUR MISSION
Amsterdam Done Right is your backstage pass to the city that does things its own way. From canals to corner cafes, and everything in between, we’re here to uncover what makes this place tick.
It’s not just about tulips and bikes (though, let’s be honest, they’re iconic), but it’s also about the stories, the hidden gems, and the quirks that make Amsterdam endlessly fascinating.
We’re explorers, storytellers, and a little obsessed with finding the good stuff – whether it’s a cozy brown bar with the best bitterballen or an artist giving the city a fresh coat of creativity.
Amsterdam has layers, and we’re here to peel them back one adventure at a time.
MEET OUR TEAM
We’re the ones pedaling down hidden alleyways, chatting up locals, and hunting for the spots that make Amsterdam feel like home (or a wild adventure, depending on the day).
Each of us brings a unique perspective to the mix, from art and history buffs to die-hard foodies and late-night explorers.
Together, we’re here to share the stories, the secrets, and the surprises that make Amsterdam unforgettable. Curious who’s behind the scenes? Let’s introduce ourselves!
Noah Bakker
Noah is the team’s cultural deep diver, with a passion for Amsterdam’s hidden stories and historical layers. Growing up near the city’s famous canals, he spent his childhood wandering museum halls and asking far too many questions during family outings. Now, with a background in urban studies and a soft spot for Amsterdam’s indie music scene, he blends curiosity with creativity to bring a unique perspective to his work.
Julia Jansen
Julia has a way of making the ordinary extraordinary. With a background in visual arts and a love for design, she gravitates toward Amsterdam’s creative corners – from quirky boutique shops to street art that tells a story. She has a knack for spotting what others might miss, whether it’s the perfect sunny café terrace or a local’s secret market stall.
Lucas Beek
A journalism graduate with a love for the written word, Lucas brings energy and precision to his storytelling. Raised just outside the city, he has always been fascinated by its balance of old-world charm and modern innovation. He’s particularly drawn to topics that celebrate the people of Amsterdam – its artists, entrepreneurs, and change-makers.
Emma Smit
Born and raised in Amsterdam, she has an insider’s perspective on the city’s evolving identity. Emma has a soft spot for Amsterdam’s quieter moments – the sunrise over the canals, a peaceful stroll through Vondelpark, or a hidden courtyard tucked behind a bustling street. With a degree in sociology, she loves exploring the human side of the city, capturing the heart of its neighborhoods and communities.

What We Do
To put it simply, we make being a consumer in Ottawa easier.
Best in Ottawa is your guide to the best things that Ottawa has to offer, from the top products to the most dependable services. We do extensive consumer research to find these.
That means comparing spec sheets, evaluating prices, testing products, and checking out user testimonials. It may even mean subscribing to services to see if they’re worth our while.
In other words, we scour the island looking for consumers’ best options… all so you won’t have to.
Who We Are
Who are we? We’re consumers like you!
We walk the same streets, breathe the same air, even eat the same things, most likely.
The only difference is that we’ve made it our mission in life to help other consumers. We do it by finding answers to the questions they usually ask.
How long does this product last? Are the terms of this subscription better than the terms of that one? Does this have a decent warranty?
Now you’re probably wondering why we’d spend time and money comparing products and services without charging others for it.
For one, we believe that we’re offering a necessary service. We want to help people all over the island find the products or services that they truly need.
That’s why our opinions and reviews are our own. We know the struggle of finding the right solution to a problem, so we strive to ensure all solutions we put forward are good ones.
The only compensation we may receive from what we do is an occasional referral fee for some products or services you may purchase from our site. That fee doesn’t reflect in the price you pay for any product or service, though: it won’t be passed on to you.
