Overview

Amsterdam’s canals, historic merchant houses, and distinctive neighborhoods make it a city best explored at street level. In just a half day, spend time in areas like the Jordaan, stroll beside the Herengracht Canal, relax in Vondelpark, and experience the atmosphere surrounding landmarks such as the Anne Frank House.

With a local host, your experience is shaped around your interests and pace. Explore canal-side streets lined with cafés and independent shops, discover quieter residential corners, or focus on the city’s history, food culture, or creative scene. Along the way, your host will share local insight and recommendations that help you experience Amsterdam in a more personal and natural way.

Before your experience, you will complete an online personalization form so your host can design a tailored route based on your travel style and preferences. Your host will use your responses to shape a flexible experience that makes the most of your time in Amsterdam.
