Additional Information

A delightful day in the city of Amsterdam awaits you! Enjoy a personalized city tour with one of our accommodating hosts. See landmark attractions such as the Anne Frank House or the Van Gogh Museum, or take a relaxing amble through The Nine Streets (De Negen Straatjes), which link the city’s prime waterways. Fancy a lovely boat ride appreciating traditional Dutch buildings along the renowned Herengracht canal? Feeling peckish? Pause at a roadside stand for some genuine Dutch treats, drop by a local restaurant or explore a food market.
Within a day of your booking, we’ll send you a brief questionnaire to gather insights on your temperament and hobbies. Based on your answers, we’ll team you up with a compatible host. This host will touch base with you to suggest an itinerary that introduces you to the city’s authentic charm. You will also agree on a time and place to start your journey. Remember, your itinerary is adaptable so you can modify what you wish to explore on the fly.

  • We’ll be in touch within 24 hours after booking to find out more about your personality and interests so we can assign a like-minded local who can create a bespoke experience for you.
  • Your Local Host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary and agree a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
  • Your Local Host may also suggest adjustments or new routes if they feel that there is something just around the corner that you may enjoy, or perhaps if the weather affects your itinerary.
  • Although you will see the main attractions in the area, your Local Host will also help you to discover the places, things and stories that you won’t find in a guidebook and that make the city unique.

Shopping with Anna - My daughter and I took an unscripted tour with Anna. We requested a tour of shopping areas. Anna was amazing. She wove in and out of streets and showed us great places to shop and eat. She was kind and patient. My daughter had a lot of fun. It was a wonderful experience and I recommend highly.

Was terrible Weather and... - Was terrible Weather and raining the entire 3 hours but Gerg was wonderful! We opted for the private tour so we could have some flexibility in what we wanted to see/do since it was the first time our boys have been to Amsterdam. He was very knowledgeable and we had a great time learning about the history and touring around the city. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful - Be careful what you wish for. We asked Anna to show us as much of Amsterdam as possible and boy did she do that! 20,000 steps by 2:00 o’clock but we worth every one. Anna, a Belarusian, spoke perfect English and was charming and informative. Truly a superb tour guide and even gave us recommendations for some other things to do.

Wonderful First Day in Amsterdam - My first day in Amsterdam, on a personal tour with Alan, was the perfect start to my trip! Alan is very professional and knowledgeable but also chill, warm, and fun. It was like walking the streets with a friend. He took me through several historic neighborhoods and two markets. He introduced me to Dutch chocolate and their version of fries with mayo and peanut sauce. He even taught me how to use the metro! It was a great, relaxing way to be introduced to this grand city.

Amsterdam walking tour - Annet was a great guide. She was interesting with good stories of Amsterdam. The pace of the tour was good and she dropped us off at the Van Gogh Museum at the end of the tour.

Best tour ever - Amazing personalized food tour we have ever experienced ! Alan was beyond helpful and knowledgeable, accommodating each of our requests and likes. Alan was energetic and engaging the entire tour by asking thoughtful and sincere questions of each of my family members. Not only did Alan go out of his way to give us the best experience, he made sure to give suggestions for the rest of visit in Amsterdam. We were touring with our adult college kids. Alan made sure to share fun ideas, shopping, and food to entertain their interest also. Alan was extremely flexible and immediately adjusted to our likes and dislikes, even introducing my daughter to the best vintage clothing store she ever shopped in. Alan went above and beyond by gifting my son an Amsterdam T-shirt also. Alan was courteous in contacting me the day before in preparing and confirming our meeting point. Alan is a true professional and top notch tour guide !
