Beursplein, the square where we will start our tour, so called because it is located next to the stock exchange. Our guide will be waiting for you in front of the Cafe Bistro, next to the bull figure, with a blue umbrella or a tag with the Amsterdam Guides & Tours logo.

Traveler reviews
Not Recommended
I do not recommend this tour. On my tour the tour guide did not take us to see all the sights that are listed on the itinerary. It was very disappointing.
This is a great tour to...
This is a great tour to start your vacation in Amsterdam, gives you a lay of the city and context to some of the iconic architecture, history, and culture.
Amazing Guide
Pia was an amazing guide: personable, perfect English, full of information, both historical and cultural. This was a great first day activity to get the lay of the land.
Highlight of my Amsterdam trip - Super nice walking tour
Thank you Richard for providing a positive experience in Amsterdam. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and presented both history and local stories in an interesting way. The route was well planned, we got to see both famous sights and hidden gems. I left with a much better understanding of the city and can highly recommend this tour.
Ok for first time visitors
While some of the information was good, I think there was a lot more Eduardo could have talked about. Honestly I found him a bit boring.
