Description

Discover Amsterdam with a walking tour that blends history, culture, and entertainment into an unforgettable experience. This 2.5-hour* tour is designed to give you the perfect introduction to the city, helping you get your bearings while uncovering the stories that shaped it.
Led by a passionate and knowledgeable guide, you’ll stroll through the heart of Amsterdam, visiting its most iconic landmarks and hearing the fascinating tales often overlooked by traditional guidebooks. Learn how a small, muddy settlement on the banks of the Amstel River grew into Europe’s most influential trading hub during the Dutch Golden Age, attracting merchants, artists, and adventurers from across the world.
But Amsterdam’s story is not only about wealth and glory. Along the way, you’ll also explore the more controversial and human sides of its past: the evolution of the Red Light District and the city’s liberal approach to prostitution, the pioneering policies of drug decriminalization, and the darkest chapters of the 20th century, including the Nazi occupation and the moving story of Anne Frank. Each stop along the route offers a unique perspective, helping you understand why this city remains unlike any other.
By the end of the tour, you’ll have gained a rich understanding of Amsterdam—its glorious past, its contradictions, its tolerant spirit, and its vibrant present. You’ll also have the confidence and orientation you need to continue exploring on your own. Whether you choose to dive into its world-class museums, wander through the charming Jordaan District with its cafés and boutiques, or simply lose yourself among the picturesque canals, this tour will be your ideal starting point to make the most of your time in the Dutch capital.
Tour length is approximate. Routes and stories may vary depending on your guide and the needs of the group.
