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.

Latest reviews from our guests

    We had one day in Amsterdam. With only one day to make pedestrian footprint we did not want to walk around aimlessly lost. This is where our guide Alan came in. Alan became part of our unforgettable Amsterdam experience. Our footprint requested of some thrift stores, cheese store and as many miles as possible. Alan started taking us by train to the markets walking our way back to our starting point by weaving in and out of all the side streets , the pretty streets, the roads less traveled, all while site seeing spontaneously. For example, at the thrift store a high pair of shoes were selling for 15 Euros. On our journey back we stopped at the brand-name shoe store and found the vary same pair of shoes priced at $250. Alan showed us the square memorials plaques in front homes where Jews had one lived before they were killed in World War ll. I was later able to share this fact at the Anne Frank Museum. When we needed to use the toilet , Alan found the cleanest and fanciest places. He new when to hurry us along and when we wanted to hang a bit longer. We moved around, did and learned a lot. Alan pointed out other places to visit with directions. Genuinely, we had a better time in Amsterdam with Alan as our guide!
