Get to know Amsterdam

This excursion is perfect for those who want to see not only the main tourist attractions and main canals of the capital of the Netherlands, but also its hidden courtyards, houseboats, cozy cafes and places that are so loved by local residents.

We will look into the very heart of Amsterdam and learn many interesting and unexpected facts from the country’s history and biographies of famous historical figures who walked these streets. And the author’s walk through the streets of Amsterdam will allow us to see how the kingdom lives today, and we will try to live an ordinary day of an Amsterdam citizen.

We will definitely remember outstanding artists, sailors and politicians, their ups and downs, and sometimes real tragedies that also happened on these streets. We are waiting for a story about tulip fever and white-blue porcelain – the “business card” of the Netherlands, as well as stories about what must be tried here.

Facts and impressions

An exclusive guided tour of Amsterdam will help you get to know the city quite closely in a short time. My author’s route is designed in such a way that not only the main and well-known monuments of architecture remain in memory, but also many unusual and extraordinary places. My goal is to reveal to you my beloved Amsterdam from different sides. For example, we will find out why exactly New Amsterdam was the first name of New York and how the country of winds and constant floods in the seventeenth century became one of the most powerful and rich in the world. And for the “reverse side” of this wealth, the king and the prime minister of the Netherlands recently apologized.

The main goal pursued by my personal tour of Amsterdam on foot is to do everything so that you have a complete picture of such a diverse and bright Amsterdam with its difficulties and joys of today.

And a delicious end to our acquaintance with the capital of the kingdom will be a tasting of real farm Dutch cheese and “virgin” Matias herring, smoked eel and local French fries (optional).

Among other things, I will tell you how to best plan and organize your vacation in Amsterdam and beyond, so that this sightseeing tour of Amsterdam will be especially important on the first day of your stay in our kingdom.

➡️ Food tour “Amsterdam gastronomic” is an opportunity to get to know Amsterdam and “taste it”. A harmonious mixture of history, architecture, interesting facts and gastronomic traditions of the city

➡️ Bicycle tour of Amsterdam – we will “rent” the capital of bicycles on a bicycle! I worked out a fantastic route for you. New and old town, narrow bridges, rivers and canals, between houses of the 17th century and the Jewish town of Mokum – a tour of the Jewish quarter of Amsterdam. The Netherlands has been a refuge for Jews from all over the world since the 16th century and an opportunity to live and prosper freely. We are also waiting for the paths where Rembrandt and Spinoza walked.

➡️ Excursion in the Jordan district (9 streets) – recommended for visiting in all tourist guides. Amsterdammers always emphasize their residence in this area, because it is “the most Amsterdam”

➡️ Combined tour (two hours of walking tour, and then two hours on an individual boat). This 4.5-hour tour is a great opportunity to see a very large part of Amsterdam both on foot and from the water, and not get tired
