Itinerary
Our tour starts at the National Monument on Dam square, close to where Amsterdam was founded. Our tour also ends here.
Originally built as a town hall, the historic palace is the most culturally significant building of the Netherlands. A visit is highly recommended after the tour and can be booked on the Royal Palace website.
Walk along Amsterdam's most recognizable feature; the UNESCO-listed Canal Belt. Follow us along the city's connective veins, its scenic cobbled streets and houseboats.
Let us take you into the maze of Amsterdam, into sideways and onto squares where tour buses and boats can't reach. Apart from the important city landmarks, our tour has no set itinerary. Let our guide surprise you with an original tour, from their own unique perspective.
Cancellation
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience starts, for a full refund.

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.
