Amsterdam walking tours
Friendly, fun, and personalised. Our private sightseeing tours are one of the best things to do in Amsterdam.
Discover Amsterdam's essential sights, plus the unexpected delights you don’t want to miss. Explore the Rijksmuseum's masterworks, or join our captain on an open-top cruise through the city and countryside on his luxury boat.
A great introduction to the culture and surprising history of one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Step into Amsterdam's enchanting world with a private tour tailored to you - a personalised journey of the city's treasures - from stately canal-side mansions to secret gardens. Discover Amsterdam's Golden Age, Jewish heritage, cultural quirks, and liberal attitude to life, work, leisure, and politics.
Join your expert guide inside the Rijksmuseum, for a tour of masterworks by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Frans Hals, and other Dutch Renaissance greats. It's not just about their unsurpassed technique. We delve into culture and history from an artistic and ethnographic perspective, understanding the era's maritime might, odd customs, faith, Christmas secrets, agriculture, and architecture.
Cruise in style with Captain Daan through our magical canals. Sail down the winding Amstel River en route to the charming, one-church town of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel for refreshments. Or sail on this classic, wood-trimmed vessel to Volendam, where the river Zaan is lined with authentic windmills! Choose your half day adventure with a true Dutch sailing enthusiast in comfort. Up to 10 people.
Beaming with personality, we are a small team of professional guides who never give the same tour of Amsterdam twice. As culture and history experts, we love telling the stories behind the art, romantic canals, merchants' homes, and charming hidden gardens.
Our private Amsterdam tours can begin from the hotel, or where it suits you best. We also offer several start times. When you book, select additional themes (art, Jewish heritage, WWII, LGBTQ, for example) to weave into your walk, if desired. How luxurious and convenient!
Rick Steves took one of our private sightseeing tours in 2016. He's featured Amsterdamsel Tours in his Amsterdam & The Netherlands guidebook ever since. CultureTrip also lists us as one of the top walking tours in town. See our glowing TripAdvisor reviews here.
For small group Amsterdam tours, guests with special needs, or business gatherings, we can customise an itinerary to emphasise your interests. If you have a special request for specific things to do in Amsterdam, send us a message, and we will be sure to get back to you soon.
