What you'll do

Ah Amsterdam, you dreamy thing. You’ll join one of our local Amsterdam hosts, as they show you their mischievous city in a bespoke experience tailored just for you! Orientate yourself among the Golden Age canals as you take to the cobbled streets - there’s no telling what you might find.

Tulip traders, floating bookstores, monasteries converted into homes, hidden gardens, vinyl stores, and witty streetside attractions are all waiting for you. Don’t be afraid to ask your host questions and take advantage of their local know-how. 

Sip on cold brew coffees as you stop by at the Van Gogh Museum, or visit the authentic architectural wonder that is Beginhof. Our host just can’t wait to share their home city with you and soon, we hope, you’ll be feeling at home too once they’ve shared their tips for where to eat, how to get around, and spilled a local secret or two.

P.S. Watch out for the bikes! We’re serious, it’s wild out there.

    Raja is a vibrant, warm and knowledgeable tour guide. She reached out ahead to ask us our specific interests. She made sure to incorporate these on our tour. For someone who is not a native of Amsterdam, she really is informed. We enjoyed our time with her as much as the city itself Highly recommend!

    I’m not very good at walking so she organised a taxi to bring us to our destination area which helped me a lot. She was very informative and shows us areas we would not have found ourselves

    Anna was delightful and very easy to learn from. We did not give her much guidance however she showed us things we would never have discovered on our own. It was very good.

    Alan was great! Wonderful walk around the city showing us hidden views and secret gardens with a wonderful sense of where to take us and what to show us. We enjoyed the exercise and the fun wandering through the city.
