Overview

The old inner city of Amsterdam is incredibly picturesque! Here you can see the narrowest houses, crooked alleyways, hidden yards and gardens for butterflies!
During this wonderful walking tour, we would like to tell you about Dutch history, traditions, national character and, most importantly, figure out how this place built below sea level, became one of the freest and progressive countries in the world!

We will meet you at the Amsterdam Centraal Station, where we will share some wonderful facts about its history, old transport system in the Netherlands and talk about relationships between catholics and protestants after the 80 Years War. Slowly strolling along cozy canals and enjoying the view of old brick buildings and majestic churches, we will find out more about this multifaceted city. We will talk about old and modern lifestyle of Amsterdammers, about their preferences in architecture, fashion, leisure or food and about many other interesting subjects.
