Led by passionate local guides with deep roots in the street art scene, this tour goes beyond simply looking at walls.

Graffiti galore
Going into this tour I already some prior knowledge on street art and graffiti, yet my guide still managed to take a fully comprehensive tour and make it interesting both for me and for people who previously had no experience with this subject. The NDSM area is both a sight to behold, stuffed to the brim with eye candy for anyone who's into street art, and also has a very interesting history which you will hear about on this tour. Totally recommend for anyone who wants to see a different side to Amsterdam!
Operator response
Love this! It's always a good sign when even someone who already knows a thing or two about street art still walks away with something new. NDSM really is a world of its own, and we're glad the tour gave you a fresh perspective. Hope to see you on another adventure soon!

Do the Rude Bastards tour first and then the street art tour!
Love These Tours and Amsterdam didn't disappoint! The tours are highly relevant and include much more than a standard free walking tour. The tour was fantastic and the guide its obviously very passionate about Amsterdam and its street art culture. There is such diversity in the art shown and the tour guide really took the time to make sure we had plenty of time to ask questions and that we all clearly understood what we were looking at and the symbolism behind it. I cannot recommend it enough! It was very cool and interesting and after doing the rude bastards tour with the same company in Amsterdam city centre where we learnt the history of The Netherlands and Amsterdam, the street art tour just really added a whole other layer of depth to the city! Thank you so much rude bastards, and can you handle it tours! :) we are looking forward to joining your cologne tour next week!
Operator response
Thanks so much! That's exactly the combo we'd recommend too. Start with the Rude Bastards Tour, then head to NDSM and see a completely different side of Amsterdam. We're glad you enjoyed the stories, the symbolism and your guide's passion for the scene. Have an amazing time in Cologne, we'll be ready for you!
