The best Amsterdam private tours & experiences with locals

With its gabled buildings, cozy coffee shops, and iconic canals, the laid-back “Venice of the North” is creativity at its coolest. Our tours by locals in Amsterdam let you experience this artistic city beyond the Van Gogh Museum and the provocative red-light district. You won’t miss out on the top attractions, but you might see them from a different perspective – from a tiny hidden garden or a hole-in-the-wall bar. Discover the soul of the city on our tours with locals in Amsterdam, with a like-minded Amsterdammer leading the way. From floating flower markets to charismatic neighborhoods, see the Amsterdam that only reveals itself to the people who call it home.

Discover Amsterdam beyond your guidebook

The most incredible experiences in Amsterdam are so much more varied than a top-10 list could even begin to suggest. Between the city’s seven diverse districts and locals to match – ranging from the ultra-trendy streets of restaurant-lined Amsterdam-Oost to cool, creative Amsterdam-Zuid – the city’s unique culture can only fully be celebrated through snapshots of local life. On our Amsterdam tours by locals, you won’t need to get caught up in the tourist traps because no experience is off-limits. You’ll get the nuanced portrait of Amsterdam’s personality that no guidebook could ever paint.

Latest reviews from our guests

    Alan was a great guide and made the day so much fun! We gave some ideas of what we'd like to see and we walked all over the city. Next time I would ask more history questions so we learned a little bit more, but Amsterdam is an amazing city to wander and appreciate the details.

    The tour of tulip fields and windmills couldn’t have been better, the guide knew her business and it would have taken days to cover the same ground on our own; well worth having a private guide.

    A walking tour which was approximately nine miles; 21,000 steps and worth every one. We asked for lunch or tea at a certain cafe and he hit it perfectly.
