Highlights

Amsterdam has a long & dark history spanning almost 800 years. Wandering the city streets, you will find evidence of its murky past hiding down dark alleys. The city is home to countless tales of murder, bloody betrayal & jealous lovers driven to madness & misdeeds. Brandishing a trusty lantern to light the way, our brave guide will take you on a journey to discover the ghostly side of Amsterdam as we hear tales full of darkness & treachery. On this fun tour, we will share some of the history of Amsterdam, along with spookier stories from the city. Whilst the focus of this tour is very much on fun, our guide will share some of the darker tales of the city, which may be less appropriate for younger people. The city looks magical at night, with bridges lit up & sparkling reflections. Who knows who or what we may discover as we explore the darkest depths of the city together? No additional costs on this tour.

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.
