2-hour Amsterdam Highlights Private Tour

Make the most out of your visit and discover Amsterdam's main attractions with your private tour guide

ABOUT THE 2-hour Amsterdam Highlights Private Tour

This 2-hour private tour is the perfect introduction to Amsterdam and a great way to orientate yourself in the city. Your local private tour guide will take you to must-see spots such as the Anne Frank House, the Begijnhof Convent, the Royal Palace, Amsterdam's narrowest house and much more!

 

Join us on a tour of Amsterdam’s greatest treasures

Famous for its picturesque canals, world-renowned cultural contributions and liberal approach to life, the Dutch capital is an easy city to fall in love with. Its flat, compact historic centre is easily explored on foot, and is littered with world-class museums, cosy bookshops and cafés.

Together with your expert local guide you’ll criss-cross the city’s tranquil waterways, taking you past Amsterdam’s most popular sights and attractions. Starting out at the Centraal Station, you’ll pass through famous Dutch districts such as Jordaan and the Jewish Quarter. Admiring the Royal Palace one minute and reflecting at the Anne Frank House the next, you’ll see the very best that this Northern European city has to offer.

A great way to round off this introduction to life in Amsterdam is, of course, to cruise the network of canals first-hand. Online private tour customers will be able to take advantage of a one-hour boat cruise ticket offered at a budget discount price, available at checkout.

Alternatively, the lowlands surrounding Amsterdam can provide a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing travellers to balance out the urban with the rural. Exploring busy canal areas and the windmills of North Holland in the same day makes for a uniquely Dutch experience; those interested in combining the tours are more than welcome to get in touch here.
