Looking for an Amsterdam tour that’s made just for you? Our obsession with Amsterdam means we have hundreds of stories for any interest. The medieval church and WWII? Financiers and artists? Activists and diamonds? No matter the interest, we’ve got you covered.
With Amsterdam’s hidden stories and vibrant communities, we can be your insider’s guide to discovering the city’s unique culture – in a way that’s made just for you!
While solo travelers love this tour, it’s an especially good option if you’re travelling with a group. There’s no need to take separate tours for different interests or sacrifice individual wants for the sake of the group. Our customized private tour means you can explore the city together, while hearing about everyone’s interests. You can share your Amsterdam experience while getting a unique view of the city’s highlights and important sites, alongside Amsterdam’s secrets.
Got a tight schedule? No problem! We can plan an engaging one-hour tour that fits neatly between your other plans. If you want to take your time, we can even craft a longer four-hour tour, designed to ensure a meaningful connection to the city with a personalized route.
Amsterdam has a vibrant storytelling scene, which is one of the inspirations for our tours. Our guides aren’t only Amsterdam experts; they are trained storytellers. That means that instead of a list of facts, you get a short story about a person that explains the topic. For example, you could hear about the world’s first stock exchange through the eyes of the first person who wrote about it. It makes for a more entertaining tour, but it also means you’re more likely to remember what you hear.
One thing that makes Amsterdam special is the way it has a thousand different cities layered on top of each other in a relatively small area. That means we can cover a lot on even a short walking tour. On our customized private tour, we can explore hidden corners that can be hard to find, as well as special locations hiding in plain site.
If a customized tour isn’t the right fit, we also offer private tours with set themes, or you can opt for a group tour. Group tours are not private and also not customized. They allow individuals or smaller parties to join a larger tour at a set time. Whether you’re looking for a private deep dive or a shared storytelling experience, we have an option that suits your needs!
Our private tours accommodate 1–15 people and range from 1–4 hours. For larger groups or extended tours beyond 4 hours, we’re happy to make arrangements—just reach out to discuss your specific request! (Due to Amsterdam’s regulations, walking tours larger than 15 need to be split among different guides.)
