Since the 1950s KLM, the Royal Dutch Airline, has been presenting miniature versions of iconic Dutch houses to their World Business Class passengers. They are Delft Blue porcelain and are filled with Jenever (Dutch Gin). The current collection comprises 98 unique miniature houses. Each ‘bottle’ is a replica of an existing house, and many of them are located in the city of Amsterdam.
We meet at the ‘bruin cafe’ Café Van Zuylen where we start with an introduction to the tour and tea or coffee. We head off to the picturesque canal ring area, a listed UNESCO World Heritage site. This central area of Amsterdam is alive with history, and I will point out the numerous remnants of the Dutch Golden Age.
I have been living in the oldest part of Amsterdam for almost 15 years. My work is both as a city guide and as a cabin attendant for KLM, the Royal Dutch Airline. During my many stops for KLM in faraway places, I have discovered how far the Dutch and Amsterdam influences extend so I started to delve into Amsterdam’s history. After reading many history books and following courses at the Vrije Academie, I have created a unique city walk with a focus on the history of Amsterdam and the KLM Delft Blue miniature houses.
