What you’ll do

Think of this personalized experience with one of our hosts like spending the day with a friend. You’ll shop, drink coffee, visit popular attractions and soak up the sights and sounds of the city. Game changer: the city happens to be Amsterdam, a progressive hub of creatives, artisans, bookstores, flower-sellers, and coffee breweries.

The quaint cobbled lanes flank tranquil canals, and dodging bicycles should be a national sport. After ticking off your must-see sights in the city, allow your host to lead you off the beaten track and offer a glimpse into authentic local life in Amsterdam.

They can’t wait to share their home city with you, and although half a day isn’t possibly long enough to see all there is in this bustling urban antiquity, we hope you’ll embrace it all!

    This was a good tour. Duane had planned out a trip route for us based on our needs. We walked through business areas, neighborhoods, and scenic parts of the city. Duane gave us the insider, local perspective on many things.

    Anna is well prepared and was caring for my enjoyment in every moment. She adapted the tour to allow maximum compatibility with the other tours I had planned in my trip. She has been attentive to respect the schedule both on the starting and ending time.
