Start your journey with the best introduction to Amsterdam on a 2.5-hour walking tour through the historic city center. Led by an expert English or Spanish-speaking guide (Dutch upon request), explore the city’s iconic landmarks while hearing fascinating stories about its growth from a muddy village on the Amstel River to one of Europe’s most important trading cities. Discover Amsterdam’s contrasts, from the history of prostitution and drug decriminalization to its cultural, artistic, and architectural heritage.
At the end of the tour, enjoy a typical Dutch pancake menu in a cozy city-center restaurant, including a starter of pea soup or Dutch delicacies, a pancake main dish, and dessert or coffee. We always aim to schedule the tasting at 1:30 pm, but in some cases, it may take place later. Afterward, continue exploring Amsterdam at your own pace, visiting museums, cafés, or charming streets.
