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 most

What you’ll do

Explore Noord, Amsterdam’s edgiest neighborhood, known for its diversity and atmosphere of contrasts. Join one of our hosts as they show you around this trendy hub of artists, craftspeople, and creatives in a personalized experience of the rejuvenated industrial center.

Experience its complex character as you take in clean, modern architecture flanked by charming, traditional homes. There are many plush green spaces in Noord, home to various sustainable community projects – perhaps go find out what they are all about?

Your host will take you past the NDSM Werf, a former shipping yard turned gritty urban skate park, and stroll with you along the idyllic Noordhollandsch Canal (maybe stop in at Windmill D’Admiraal for a beer).

From the Pekmarkt flea market, which has a different theme each day (we can’t even coordinate our socks every day), to the wonderful local bistros, Noord is just one of those places that must be experienced and your host will have the know-how!

Sehr netter und höflicher Guide. Gute Ortskenntnis, gutes geschichtliches und gutes Hinzergrundwissen. Eine gute Entscheidung, dieses Event zu buchen.

When traveling, we like to learn about the area we are in, as well as getting an idea of where things are; having a private tour guide is a wonderful way to experience a town or city.

Wendi was fantastic. She really focused the tour on our wants, including stopping for specialty food when we wanted, allowing us time to shop along the way, and listening to our feedback to change the tour as we went along. She also showed us some great hidden gems!

Amsterdam has so many special places to see, you can’t appreciate it without a local.Hernan calls Amsterdam his adopted home. He is an expert on the sites, the architecture and the history of Amsterdam. We were so grateful to spend time with him!

We had a wonderful experience with our guide Gerg. He was knowledgeable, friendly, professional and just everything you would want in a host/guide. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
