Let a local lead the way

Between diverse attractions like floating flower markets, the Van Gogh Museum, and the provocative red-light district, there’s almost too much to see on walking tours in Amsterdam. In fact, you could spend weeks moving between its seven diverse districts on your own Amsterdam city walking tours and not even scratch the surface. But if there’s one thing our local hosts know like the back of their hand, it’s Amsterdam – and they’re more than qualified to plan the best walking tours in Amsterdam that give you a perfect blend of top attractions, local haunts, and secret landmarks.

Get off the beaten track

Everyone knows that the streets of Amsterdam-Centrum are a hive of activity, with locals moving between lively bars and restaurants and tourists gathering at the iconic Dam Square. But taking the road a little less traveled on your private walking tours of Amsterdam will give you a brand-new perspective on the city. Walking tours in Amsterdam with City Unscripted show you places you never dreamed you’d see. Sample Dutch delights at an old cheese shop, visit tiny, tucked-away tasting rooms and uncover an intoxicating nightlife scene far off the tourist trail on our Amsterdam walking tours.

The city through a local lens

Each of Amsterdam’s unique neighborhoods has its own long list of tourist attractions – but on Amsterdam city walking tours with a local guide, you won’t just see the sights. You’ll also get an unforgettable experience of the unique vibe and spirit of each district when you see it through the eyes of an Amsterdammer. On our private walking tours of Amsterdam, you’ll learn that edgy Amsterdam-Noord is a haven for cool kids and artists, affluent Amsterdam-Zuid is home to high-end boutiques and well-heeled locals, while Amsterdam-Wes is a foodie nirvana.

It was a pleasure walking the streets of Amsterdam with Jan; his stories and real-life experiences of living in this beautiful city provided us with an invaluable time and gave us confidence and direction to roam the city on our own after the tour. Jan did reach out to us about what we wanted to see on our tour prior to the date, allowing us to provide our preferences, which included historical sites and places he enjoyed eating and shopping.

Our teacher was Alan, and he was phenomenal. He treated my son like family. Alan showed us some of the local spots and took us for coffee and a location that most tourist do not frequent. My son and I had a wonderful day with Alan, and we could not recommend the tour with Alan enough.
