Amsterdam Uncovered: City Center Walking Tour

Discover the stories behind Amsterdam’s canals on a 2-hour walking tour with a local guide. From leaning houses to the city’s smallest house, explore the sights and details that give the Dutch capital its distinctive character. Meet your guide beneath the red umbrella in front of Centraal Station, then follow a route through historic streets, across bridges and alongside canal locks. Learn how the Dutch East India Company shaped Amsterdam’s trading past, and visit the Jewish Quarter to hear about the city’s darker years under Nazi occupation. Along the way, get a local perspective on modern Amsterdam—its open-minded culture, everyday life and enduring appeal—to understand the city beyond its postcard views.
