Our tours run every day on 10:30 and 14:00. From Sunday to Fridays, we also have a 17:30 tour. Please make sure to arrive early, because our tours leave on time.

The only days of the year that we do not walk tours are:

The 1st of January (New Year’s day)

The 27th of April (Kings day)

It depends a little on the guide and weather. On average the tour is 2,5 hours long, although it may be half an hour longer, or half an hour shorter. For planning purposes, we recommend allotting three hours for the walking tour itself. During the tour we cover roughly 2,5 km / 1.5 mi.

The tour ends in front of the Royal Palace on Dam Square.

No, unfortunately all our daily tours are in English. It is possible to book a private tour in Dutch or German. Click here for more information on our private tours.

Making a reservation is necessary to be guaranteed that you can join the tour. Often times we are fully booked, and in that case we can only take on guests without a reservation in case others with a reservation do not show up. We have to be very strict about this, because the city of Amsterdam has limited group size to 15 people by local law.

Reserving is fast and easy! Click the Book Now button at the top of the page to make your reservation.

In case the tour is fully booked you can still try to come to the meeting point early, and if people with a booking do not show up we are happy to let you join the tour. No guarantees in this case though!

This is totally up to you, according to your possibilities and how much you enjoyed the tour.

A tour of this scope would normally cost €25-35 but in this case you decide whether the tour met your expectations and you tip accordingly. People that really enjoyed the experience usually tip their guide around €15-€25.

Your tour guide will be at the meeting point outside, in front of the Stock Exchange  (Beursplein 5 on Google Maps) 15 minutes before the start of the tour. We hold yellow umbrellas!

No. As long as there are at least 5 people, tours always run. Just come prepared for Dutch weather  In case of a government red-alert for heavy weather we may have to cancel a tour, although this is quite exceptional. If this happens will notify you the day before by email or text message.

The tour covers Amsterdam’s drug and sex-work history, and also religious controversy that took place here. If you are uncomfortable speaking about these topics with your children, you shouldn’t bring them on to the tour. If you are comfortable with your children hearing stories about this history and it’s current day policy, you are welcome to bring your children. Since guided tours through the red-light district have been banned we won’t be seeing sex-workers on the route. These controversial topics are only a part of the tour, of course we will show you much more that Amsterdam has to offer!

Do keep in mind that a walking tour of 2,5 hours is a lot to ask from young children (-14) considering their attention span. As a parent you should carefully consider whether or not your child is happy and able to listen and be quiet for the most part of two and a half hours.

No, unfortunately not. The maximum number of people allowed on a free (tips only) tour is 5 people. Bigger groups are required to book a private tour or pay a fixed fee of €20 pp. To arrange a private tour, please send us an e-mail. You can find the address at the bottom footer of the site.

We reserve the right to turn away multiple reservations resulting in groups bigger than 5 people. This includes different members of the same group attempting to join the tour by making several individual bookings.
