What you can expect

Experience the best Amsterdam has to offer and discover a few local secrets, on this 2.5-hour Private Walking Tour. Orient yourself in the historic city centre–or get a refresher if you’ve been before–as you see the city's most important landmarks with an enthusiastic young guide.

Meet your guide at The Basilica of Saint Nicholas to begin your 2.5-hour walking tour of Amsterdam's city centre. Learn about Amsterdam's history and how a small 12th-century fishing village with a simple dam became one of the most popular capital cities in the world. Criss-cross the city center's iconic canals and bridges while peeking into quiet courtyards and down cobblestone streets. Discover the leaning houses, the city's namesake river, and other landmarks. Learn how to navigate the oftentimes tricky streets of the city centre.

Highlights include Dam Square, West Church, Old Church (and some hidden churches), Artists' Squat street, leaning houses, Prinsengracht, Begijnof, the thinnest house, the sea dike, Chinatown, New Market Square (Nieuwmarkt), and the medieval city gate. Ask your local guide questions, get tips on how to best spend your time in Amsterdam, and bid them farewell at the end of the tour as you carry on exploring like a local…

We’re more than just storytellers. Our young, passionate, and engaging guides approach touring in a different way. They will bring a personal touch to each tour, adding their own favourite anecdotes and tips along the way. They are there to listen to you, to answer your questions, and to create a dialogue – unlike other tours where they just lecture you as you go along. That’s the whole reason why we specialise in private and semi-private tours exclusively, to make sure you get the most possible out of your experience.
