Amsterdam's red light district is a fascinating part of town. Aside from the infamous windows, there is a lot more to discover about 'de Wallen' as we call it in Dutch. This area is my expertise and I've been giving talks and tours about it for the last 10 years.
A historic square and home of the 'Waag', an interesting building with a secret in the attic...
The iconic square with the royal palace, new church, war monument and more. We call this the beating heart of Amsterdam. Find out why in the tour
A beautiful building, built to be the first pretty train station in the Netherlands. From here to can take the train everywhere in the country, and even Paris and London!
See the building where Rembrandt lived and worked. You'll find out more about him during this tour, walking past meaningful buildings in his life.
A famous church that played a big part in Rembrandt's life, painted by Monet
The heart of clubbing in Amsterdam, also home of statues, history and sometimes a little art market.
An old city gate. Find out why the Amsterdammers don't use its original name!

The highest church tower in Amsterdam. Also the final resting place of a very famous person...

Joe our guide was upbeat and fun. He did a great job pointing out interesting things and he recommended some wonderful restaurants. We had a great time and highly recommend him!
Joe was a wonderful guide. He was quite pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. We love getting private tours of the highlights of each city we visit within the first 24 hours of arriving. It gives us an exceptional overview and allows us to maneuver around the city with ease for the remainder of our visit. And you can go at your own pace!
Julia was fabulous! We had a wonderful tour and she had so many insightful and interesting facts about culture, history, and architecture of Amsterdam. Would highly recommend!
We had a great time. We learned a lot about Amsterdam and The Netherlands. Our guide, Folkert was knowledgeable, easy going, and made the experience very enjoyable. Highly recommend!
We had a very informative and interesting tour. Our guide, Julia, provided us with detailed information and responded to our questions superbly. You realize that it is their home and pass on their knowledge with humor to the tourist. We would always book a tour with her.
We did this tour with some friends. Julia was our tour guide and besides the fact that she can tell a lot and could answer all of our questions, she is also very nice and fun. Definitely recommended to do this tour with Julia!
I have booked the Private Walking Tour of Amsterdam for our colleagues twice already via Viator. They have had a great time. The communication with the guide prior to the tour was excellent: change of date and time was a no brainer. I would recommend this site and Tour to everyone.
Thank you very much Romina. Hope to talk to you again next time you need a tour :-)
We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Julia, taking in some of the best that Amsterdam has to offer (it helped that we had some sun!). For first time visitors, we couldn’t have been happier learning about this wonderful city with Julia. All in all a 5-star experience. Would recommend to anyone visiting!
Thank you very much!
I thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour of Amsterdam. David Raleigh was our guide and he was informative and knowledgeable of Dutch culture, history and art.
