How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Think of this personalized experience with one of our hosts like spending the day with a friend. You’ll shop, drink coffee, visit popular attractions and soak up the sights and sounds of the city. Game changer: the city happens to be Amsterdam, a progressive hub of creatives, artisans, bookstores, flower-sellers, and coffee breweries.
The quaint cobbled lanes flank tranquil canals, and dodging bicycles should be a national sport. After ticking off your must-see sights in the city, allow your host to lead you off the beaten track and offer a glimpse into authentic local life in Amsterdam.
They can’t wait to share their home city with you, and although half a day isn’t possibly long enough to see all there is in this bustling urban antiquity, we hope you’ll embrace it all!

This was such a chill, laid back tour perfect for a cloudy, rainy day in Amsterdam. Anna reached out ahead of time to gauge our likes and interests to plan a tour to best suite us! We met at an easy location and she even double checked about what we wanted to see before we started. She was a wealth of information and could answer any questions we had. I appreciated that she took us to see a lot of ‘hidden gems’ as well as some of the more touristy areas. We ended the tour near a really cool theater turned cinema and even ended up seeing a movie when we were done since it was a rainy day - the inside of the theater was beautiful! We also really liked the flower market where we got some great gifts/souvenirs to take back home. Overall it was a great day and an awesome way to see and learn about Amsterdam!
