Description

Discover how one of the most captivating cities in the world works as you wander through on a relaxed walking tour of Amsterdam's top sights. Escape from the crowds at the top tourist destinations, while hearing fascinating tales unknown to many visitors by your knowledgeable guide. It's an incredible way to get an authentic taste of this amazing city. You'll begin at the Rijksmuseum, arriving just as the doors are opening for the day to avoid the crowds that pack the museum later on. Gaze upon the renowned artworks from Amsterdam's time as the world's capital of creativity, including works by Van Gogh, Vermeer and Rembrandt. Enjoy a guided tour of its most popular pieces and then sit at a brown café for coffee and traditional Dutch apple pie. Walk by the banks of the canal and enjoy an unforgettable voyage through Amsterdam on a canal boat. As you cruise along, see cyclists zipping past, look up at gorgeous homes by the water, and shout 'Ahoy' to boats passing by—it's a unique opportunity to experience the city like never before. This is one of the quintessential Amsterdam experiences that can simply not be missed. Amsterdam's impact extended beyond its artistic works; its residents also left a deep impression on the world of architecture. Learn more about the 17th-century buildings of the Golden Age era as you head to a distillery in the historic center. Let your taste buds be tantalized by Dutch flavors and recipes that have been perfected over the centuries. Even though the British are famous for drinking gin, it was actually the Dutch who created it—calling it genever. By the time you part ways from your guide and small group, you'll have experienced so much more than a tour of the city. You'll have experienced its unique culture, tasted delicious food, sailed along picturesque canals, and marveled at its stunning architecture. More than a tour, this is truly an unforgettable journey.
