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.

Latest reviews from our guests

This tour was lovely and catered to my likes/dislikes with more added to it. I did schedule a 6 hour tour and I think it could have been done in 4 hours. I will say, it was nice to see a few extra things and go at a slow pace. My guide, Wendy was very pleasant and knowledgeable. If you have doubts, please do not and book the tour!

Duane took the time to source a great gluten free cafe to suit our dietary needs, Croque Madame, which had great sandwiches and cakes. Duane also has an extensive knowledge of Amsterdam which made the tour extremely interesting as well as indicating nice restaurants for future meals.

Walking around with Alan was just like walking around with a friend. We loved exploring with a local, who took us to so many great stops we wouldn’t have gone to otherwise.

I am glad Anna took the time to get to know me and what it was that I wanted to do. Based on that she made a nice relaxing trip that ticked all the boxes! It was nice to get tidbits of history and knowledge as we walked around the streets of Amsterdam
