3-hour Amsterdam Private City Tour

Enjoy a comprehensive overview of Amsterdam's fascinating history and must-see sites with your private tour guide

ABOUT THE 3-hour Amsterdam Private City Tour

This 3-hour private tour will introduce you to Amsterdam's top attractions and walk you through the history of the Dutch capital. Your local private tour guide will take you to must-see sights such as Anne Frank House, the Royal Palace, the Albert Cuyp street market, Amsterdam's narrowest house, and much more!

 

Explore Amsterdam in-depth with your expert local guide

Famed all around the world for its liberal mindset, sense of tolerance and hedonistic nightlife, Amsterdam is the beating heart of the Dutch kingdom. Stunning maritime architecture and bicycle-friendly infrastructure allow Amsterdammers to coast through the busy city centre with ease - and on this 3-hour private tour, your expert local guide will help you to navigate your way to the main sights and attractions. Beginning at the Centraal Station, you will trace a path through Jordaan and the Jewish Quarter; passing iconic houseboats, the Anne Frank House, the Albert Cuyp street market, and Amsterdam’s narrowest house.

One of the best ways to round off this introduction to the Dutch capital is, of course, to cruise its complex web 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 the windmills and farming land 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.

Explore Amsterdam at your own pace

This 3-hour private tour covers the main must-see sights of Amsterdam at a leisurely pace. You also have the option of stopping for a coffee or a snack partway through. More time with your expert local guide means that you’ll get great inside scoops about museums, theatres, clubs or about the best local food and wines that will make the rest of your trip to Amsterdam a memorable one.
