Highlights
For cheese lovers, this tour is the perfect way to enjoy Amsterdam. Begin with a 2.5-hour walking tour through the historic streets of the city center, guided by an expert who reveals how a small muddy village on the Amstel grew into Europe’s leading trading hub. Along the way, hear captivating stories about prostitution, drug decriminalization, and the city’s darkest chapters during the Nazi occupation. The experience continues with a 1-hour cheese tasting at the prestigious Old Amsterdam shop, where you’ll sample five varieties of Gouda paired with carefully selected wines. This gastronomic experience blends history, tradition, and flavor in one of the city’s most iconic cheese locations. We always aim to schedule the tasting at 1:30 pm, but in some cases, it may take place later. Afterward, enjoy free time to keep exploring, visit world-class museums, stroll Jordaan, or relax in a canal-side café.

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.
