Are activities on the ground in Amsterdam worth it?

Yes, activities on the ground in Amsterdam are worth it. While you should definitely still do a canal cruise, plan to explore the city's narrow, cobblestoned streets on two feet or two wheels, like the locals. Whether you opt for a guided walking tour of the Red Light District (De Wallen) or you do a self-guided e-bike tour of Amsterdam's rural outskirts, you'll be far more immersed in the destination than if you'd just read about it or cruised by in a boat.

Per one customer who booked Anne Frank's Story - Guided Walking Tour through Amsterdam, "It is one thing to know the story, it is completely different to walk in the path where history happened. Patrick was very informative, and I would recommend this to everyone visiting Amsterdam. We booked our walk through the house after this walking tour, and it was a great combination."

What should I know before booking Amsterdam activities on the ground?

What are the best tips for enjoying Amsterdam activities on the ground?

You’ll want plenty of energy and a clear head, especially if you’re attempting to navigate the city’s busy streets and bridges on an unfamiliar bike. Opt for weather-appropriate clothing, as many activities take place outside.
