What you'll do

A day in Amsterdam is at your disposal, you lucky thing. Why not make the most of it with one of our Amsterdam hosts in a customized experience of the city? As someone who knows their home inside and out, your host can’t wait to share the essence of Amsterdam with you.

Visit iconic venues, like the Anne Frank House and Van Gogh Museum, or stroll The Nine Streets (De Negen Straatjes) that connect the city’s main waterways. Perhaps you’d like to take in some traditional Dutch architecture whilst cruising down the famous Herengracht canal?  But wait, did someone mention food?

Part of a city’s culture is, of course, the cuisine. Stop at a street vendor for some traditional Dutch sweets like stroopwafels, pop into a local eatery recommended by your host or visit a food market nearby.

Whatever your preference, you’ll glimpse the authentic Amsterdam with a local by your side. Spend the day as you would with a friend: chatting, laughing, and taking in the atmosphere of a truly magnificent city.

    I had a wonderful time with my tour guide Anna as we walked around Amsterdam. Anna is a fabulous host. Easy to get along with and incredibly knowledgeable about the city and all of its little quirks and eccentricities. Anna has a genuine love and excitement for exploring Amsterdam, so its hard to not be swept up in that excitement and see how wonderful Amsterdam is as a place to explore. I would highly recommend doing a private, personalised tour with Anna, as its a wonderful way to see the city from the perspective of a local. If I could give more stars I would!

    Our host was charming and attentive. The pace of the tour was just right and we got to see places we would not have found on our own. Well worth the experience!

    I was lucky enough to be paired with Anna for my tour. Anna is a lovely woman from Russia whom now lives in Amsterdam. Anna has a lot of knowledge of Art ( as she is an artist) this was very helpful as I had an interest in visiting the Amsterdam Art museums. During this tour we also Visited beautiful Historic Buildings that were not commonly known to many tourist or tour guides for that matter. We had a fantastic lunch, Anna recommended types of dishes common to locals. Anna made the tour very personal and structured to my own interests. I really enjoyed this tour definitely one I will remember. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with her as she is a great guide but even better company.

    This is a must-do tour in Amsterdam! Anna is very friendly and shows great care to the needs in our group. We were able to visit all the sites we wished plus a few other hidden gems. The bakery Anna took us to is one of the best we've had. We would definitely go on a tour with Anna again. Thank you! 10/10
