Overview

There are heaps of fun Amsterdam tours for you to choose from, but going private means you don’t have to jostle your way through a crowd to hear your guide’s unique stories. Instead, you get all the benefits of their full attention, including plenty of opportunities to pick their brain as you see local landmarks like Dam Square, the Amstel River, and lots more.

Julia_P, May 2026

Elvina is a hands down the best private guide I’ve ever had! She perfectly balances deep history with great humor, making Amsterdam truly come alive. Beyond the stories, she curated a fantastic food tour and provided great photography throughout. It was the most comprehensive coverage of the city I’ve ever seen—an absolute 10/10 experience!
