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!

Alan is warm and friendly. He’s very passionate about the city. Due to a miscommunication, Alan waited for over an hour for us to begin the tour. He went above and beyond to give us a great experience.

Rainy cold day in Amsterdam but our tour with Elle was wonderful. Amsterdam when cloudy and rainy is still beautiful and gives the city a different look and vibe. Our tour guide was wonderful and showed us the city from a local perspective which is so wonderful. Not a large group mega tour but a personal experience. Ask for Elle who was the best tour guide!!!!
