Highlights
Enjoy a private half-day guided tour of Amsterdam’s historic center, an engaging walking experience designed to introduce you to the city’s rich past, cultural diversity, and iconic landmarks. The itinerary begins in front of the I amsterdam Visitor Center, a convenient meeting point in the heart of the city. From here, you will head to Fo Guang Shan, a peaceful Buddhist temple. Continue to the Oude Kerk, the city’s oldest building and Spooksteeg, one of the city’s narrowest and most atmospheric alleys, before reaching Nieuwmarkt, a lively square centered around the former city gate. The route then leads to Dam Square, Amsterdam’s main square and historical core, where you will admire the Royal Palace and learn about its transformation from city hall to royal residence. If time allows, the tour concludes with a visit to the Begijnhof, a hidden courtyard offering a glimpse into Amsterdam’s religious and social history, far removed from the city’s bustling streets.

About Amsterdam
Amsterdam rings its golden-age centre with tree-lined canals, gabled houses and bridges, packing great art and easy cycling into a compact city.
The canal ring, dug in the seventeenth century, curves around the old centre in concentric arcs: Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht, lined with tall merchants' houses. The Jordaan, just west, is a maze of small canals, courtyards, brown cafés and independent shops, and the Anne Frank House stands on the Prinsengracht at its edge.
Top-ranked sights in Amsterdam: Amstel River, Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug), Anne Frank House.
