What 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!

Reviews

    I was lucky enough to have a private tour with Sandy walking around Amsterdam and learning a great deal. She shared a great deal of information. If I can recommend doing a private and personalized tour with Sandy as it is wonderful to see Amsterdam through the eyes of a local. I felt like a part of Amsterdam.

    Anna gave us a personal, friendly family tour of Amsterdam. She answered our many questions & showed us some quaint spots that were off the beaten path as well as some city highlights.

    Yet another great tour with City Unscripted. Lawrence is a great ´natural´ guide who clearly loves Amsterdam and wants to share its beauty with visitors. He showed us so much and was so informative. Could not recommend him enough!
