Offered in: English and 1 more

This private 6-hour Amsterdam tour offers a deeply personal experience that goes far beyond typical group outings.

You’ll start with a richly guided visit to the world-famous Rijksmuseum, where Dutch masterpieces come to life through expert storytelling rather than scripted facts. After a curated break for lunch at a local favorite café, you’ll explore the real Jordaan—charming canals, hidden courtyards, and off-the-beaten-path secrets most tourists miss.

The tour wraps with a scenic canal cruise, offering a perfect golden-hour view of the city from the water. Led by a passionate, locally based guide, this tour is designed to feel less like sightseeing and more like being shown around by a knowledgeable friend who loves Amsterdam.
