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!

Anna was wonderful! We learned so much about Amsterdam and she shared her love of the city with us. We braved the rains together and had a lovely afternoon! She gave us lots of recommendations for food and shopping and lots of tidbits about the neighborhoods, culture and specialties. It was everything we wanted. Thanks Anna!
