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.

Lawrence background in art and architecture makes him a perfect guide for Amsterdam. We walked, see and learn the city history from medieval times and first Canal to present. At the same time we found out where we can find the best chocolate place in Amsterdam or the place with beautiful Delft ceramics. We had a fabulous day with him.

This was a personalized walking tour of the old part of Amsterdam. Wendy met all our requests and tailored the trip to our interests. She walked at a good pace for us and her English was excellent. If you’re unfamiliar with the city this is a great way to get to know it.
