How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
A day in Amsterdam is at your disposal, you lucky thing. Why not make the most of it with one of our Amsterdam hosts in a customized experience of the city? As someone who knows their home inside and out, your host can’t wait to share the essence of Amsterdam with you.
Visit iconic venues, like the Anne Frank House and Van Gogh Museum, or stroll The Nine Streets (De Negen Straatjes) that connect the city’s main waterways. Perhaps you’d like to take in some traditional Dutch architecture whilst cruising down the famous Herengracht canal? But wait, did someone mention food?
Part of a city’s culture is, of course, the cuisine. Stop at a street vendor for some traditional Dutch sweets like stroopwafels, pop into a local eatery recommended by your host or visit a food market nearby.
Whatever your preference, you’ll glimpse the authentic Amsterdam with a local by your side. Spend the day as you would with a friend: chatting, laughing, and taking in the atmosphere of a truly magnificent city.

Wendy was very attentive to what we wanted to see and do while visiting Amsterdam. She worked with us as we had elderly people in our group. She is very knowledgeable about Amsterdam and pointed out things that we didn’t know after living there for two years. We definitely recommend this tour!
