Join us on what countless guests have called their best travel experience ever. ❤️
Slow down and take a walk through Amsterdam's beautiful city centre, where you'll dive into Amsterdam's hottest topics -- not just through facts and figures -- but through real stories of locals who embody them.
A coffeeshop owner, an entrepreneur with a quirky business, a sex worker, Amsterdam's flower bike man and more! We'll share their stories. The best part? You'll get to meet 2 of them. Who you meet depends on their availability. The locals are paid for their time.
You’ll also visit some amazing places like a coffeeshop, a mind-bending store, a legendary 200-year-old brown cafe and end with a toast at Amsterdam’s most honest bar.
Get ready for 4 hours of exceptional story-sharing, laughter and meaningful encounters with locals and fellow travellers.
This is your mini-integration to Amsterdam! We designed it with heart, so you can feel at home and be a part of our city.
