Full description

Embark on a captivating walking tour through Amsterdam, starting from the iconic Royal Palace. As we gather in the shadow of this historic landmark, you'll receive an introduction to Amsterdam's royal heritage and the significance of this majestic building.

From the Royal Palace, we stroll through the charming streets of Amsterdam, making our way to a traditional Dutch bar. Here, you'll indulge in a delightful sampling of authentic Dutch food and drinks, savoring the rich flavors that define the local cuisine. This is an excellent opportunity to mingle with fellow travelers and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Amsterdam's social scene.

Next, we venture to one of Amsterdam's renowned coffeeshops. In this relaxed and welcoming environment, you can experience the city's famous cannabis culture firsthand. Enjoy a smoke while learning about the history and regulations surrounding marijuana in the Netherlands.

Our journey continues as we head to the Begijnhof, a serene and historic courtyard that offers a glimpse into medieval Amsterdam. As we explore this hidden gem, you'll discover the fascinating stories of the Beguines, the women who once inhabited this tranquil enclave, and gain insights into medieval life and culture.

Following our visit to the Begijnhof, we proceed to another notable coffeeshop, famously featured in a movie starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney. This spot not only offers a unique cinematic connection but also provides another opportunity to enjoy Amsterdam's coffeeshop culture in a memorable setting.

For those on the afternoon tour, a special treat awaits as we sample some of the finest Dutch cheeses. Delight in the rich, varied flavors of locally produced cheeses, a true highlight for any food lover. Please note that the cheese tasting is exclusive to the afternoon tour and not available during the nighttime tour.

As our tour nears its end, we make our way to Amsterdam's lively gay street. Known for its vibrant nightlife and inclusive atmosphere, this street is the perfect place to dance the night away. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or just looking to enjoy the lively scene, you'll find the energy here contagious and the experience unforgettable.

Join us for an unforgettable journey through the heart of Amsterdam, blending history, culture, food, and fun into a single remarkable adventure. Whether you choose the afternoon tour with its delicious cheese sampling or the nighttime tour with its energetic finale on the gay street, you're in for an exceptional experience that showcases the best of Amsterdam.

Kanya – FinlandApril 17, 2025 – Verified booking
It was an incredible evening with Eric as our guide. From the moment we met, Eric's energy was infectious and uplifting. He had a fantastic way of connecting everyone in the group, making us feel like old friends hanging out in a bar rather than just a tour. His descriptions of the history surrounding cannabis in Amsterdam were fascinating. We visited really cool bars and coffee shops downtown, and Eric created such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere in each. This tour wasn't just about cannabis; it was about experiencing the culture, landscape, history and even now the less forunates thrive in Amsterdam. Eric is a fantastic guide – knowledgeable, engaging, and a true people person.
