Itinerary

  • Dam Square (Pass By)

    The heart of Amsterdam, Dam Square has been a site of political and cultural significance for centuries.

  • Amsterdam Canal Ring (Pass By)

    Amsterdam's famous canal ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most picturesque parts of the city. It's a testament to the city's innovative urban planning and engineering, as well as its rich cultural heritage.

  • Begijnhof (Pass By)

    This historic courtyard dates back to the 14th century and is one of the oldest and best-preserved parts of Amsterdam. It was originally home to a community of Beguines, religious women who lived in a semi-monastic community.

  • Oude Kerk (Pass By)

    Amsterdam's oldest surviving building, the Old Church dates back to the 13th century and was originally a Catholic church. It's since been used by Protestant congregations and is now a cultural center.

  • Royal Palace Amsterdam (Pass By)

    Originally built as a town hall in the 17th century, the Royal Palace is now one of three palaces used by the Dutch royal family. It's an impressive example of Dutch classicism and is open to the public for tours.

  • Nieuwmarkt (Pass By)

    Once the site of Amsterdam's 17th-century city walls, the Nieuwmarkt is now a bustling square that's home to a daily market, cafes, and restaurants. It's surrounded by historic buildings and is a popular gathering spot for locals and tourists alike.

Highly recommend walking tour.

Published on Oct, 2024

Andrea was a great guide. We saw things about Amsterdam we never would have noticed and learnt a lot about the history of the city. Andrea was very knowledgeable and walked at a comfortable pace. Very good value for money.

A+ Amsterdam

Aarre was terrific!! Learned so much!! He did a great job answering questions and responding to the interests of the group - all with infectious humor and enthusiasm.

Knowledgeable tour guide

Published on Aug, 2024

I'd give this guide a 6 if it were available. His knowledge of the history and significance of buildings/areas was fascinating. Our small group of Traveling Texans was mesmerized by his dialogue and guidance. I would highly recommend this tour and Aarre, especially.

Great team building experience

Published on Jun, 2024

Our team of 11 recently enjoyed this walking tour in Amsterdam, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! It was the perfect group activity, offering a mix of fun, interactive moments, and great insights about the city. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, keeping everyone entertained and involved throughout the tour. We explored charming streets, learned about Amsterdam's rich history, and discovered hidden gems we wouldn't have found on our own. Highly recommend this tour!

Great tour of the city!
