Full description
Enjoy a private walking tour of Amsterdam with your own personal guide, and stroll through the medieval center to see parts of the old city wall. Continue along the famous canals to explore Chinatown, the former Jewish District, and the infamous Red Light District. Learn how Amsterdam was built on a reclaimed swamp, when the land was buried in mud and the harbor was almost inaccessible. Connection with the North Sea was not realised until the 19th century, but Amsterdam had already became one of the most important cities in the world. As you stroll, you will learn about its position as a major science and cultural center, and discover how in 1650 its population of 220,000 inhabitants made it the 3rd largest city in Europe. Your guide will explain key aspects of Amsterdam’s story, passing sights such as the 17th-century Oostindisch Huis, the Amsterdam headquarters of the East India Company. Discover old pawn shops and handsome merchant houses in the Jordaan district. Walk the banks of the Herengracht, one of the first 3 major canals of the city, and more.

Wir hatten einen etwas älteren Reiseführer, dem es offensichtlich auch Spaß gemacht hat, uns viel zu erzählen und zu zeigen, z. B. ein altes Seefahrerhotel - da kommt man niemals alleine drauf reinzugehen. Die Tour hat auch etwas länger gedauert als gebucht - wie gesagt, war sehr interessant.

Der Stadtführer hat uns sehr gut gefallen, er hat 5 Sterne verdient. Was uns nicht gefallen hat war: bei der Buchung der Tour wurde als Treffpunkt unser Hotel ausgemacht. 2 Tage vor unserer Abreise wurden wir durch e-mail informiert, dass der Treffpunkt mit dem Stadtführer sich geändert hat und nun am Hauptbahnhof sein soll. Über diese Änderung wurde der Stadtführer aber nicht informiert, sodass wir erst nach längerem warten und telefonieren verspätet mit der Führung beginnen konnten.

Der Guide stellte Amsterdam ausführlich und mit sehr guten Fach- und hintergrundwissen vor. Es ging auf die Wünsche und Vorstelllungen unserer Reisegruppe ausführlichein und nahm auf die unterschiedlichen mobilen Leistungsfähigkeiten der einzelnen Gruppenmitglieder Rücksicht. Trotz der vielen Touristen in den einzelnen Quartieren verstand er es, unsere Gruppe in Nischenbereichen zu informieren.
