If you want to get to know Amsterdam better, this local tour in Jordaan is for you. Here lives the soul of the city, its memory, traditions, and sense of humor. And here, Amsterdam's tomorrow is born.
Here, you can discover what Amsterdamers keep hidden from the eyes of leisure tourists. Small courtyards and local shops, residents relaxing with a cup of coffee or a newspaper in the sun on their porches, the most delicious Saturday market in the city, the best bars, underground passages, even dragons, and plenty of cozy canals and art galleries.
Jordaan has its own legends and heroes, its unique fashion and music, festivals, customs, and a very special Jordaan character. We might even come across a sign claiming: "Jordaan is not Amsterdam," but, of course, it is. Indeed, what would Amsterdam be without Jordaan?!
We're passionate about this neighborhood and can't wait to show it to you! The experience is incredibly interesting, fun, delicious, and cozy here. Come and see!

Uncover the Stories: Culture, History, Traditions, and Modernity
What monster has been terrorizing the residents of Amsterdam for centuries? How can architecture prevent a revolution? Why decorate bicycles with flowers? When does a love for alcoholic beverages bring only benefits?
This tour is about the real unvarnished Amsterdam, not the lives of aristocrats nor historical figures, but ordinary citizens. We'll discuss the astonishing past of this unique district, its rebellions, social issues and their solutions, women's rights, and the formation of the national character. We'll see how a love for art transformed a troubled neighborhood into a bohemian and one of the most desirable places to live. We'll learn to distinguish a true Jordaan resident from any other city dweller. Since this is a private tour, we'll focus on what interests you the most.

Engage and Experience: Local Tastes and Interactive Activities
All our Amsterdam tours are provided by locals. That's why we know exactly where to find the tastiest apple pie, a recipe treasured for centuries, and the hidden cathedral, what to drink in the old brown bars and how to complement it, and what the street organ players sing about. We'll learn to sing a local chanson, known to every Dutch person, master the art of starting a scuffle :), discern various types of farmer's cheese, and definitely taste herring and eel. If our tour is on a Saturday, we'll also visit the best farmers market in the city for wine, cheese, and oysters.
Additionally, we'll get lost in the labyrinths of a designer hotel, find the city's tiniest monument, meet corsairs, and take stunning photos in the most picturesque spots. And we'll be happy! Come and join us!
* We highly recommend joining the "Your Own Amsterdam. Unexpected Treasures of the City" sightseeing tour before this one. And, of course, don't forget to cycle around the city or its surroundings and enjoy a canal cruise. This experience is not to be missed! After all, we are in Amsterdam!

It's advisable to decide on tours you would like to take as early as possible, ideally to book them right after buying your airplane tickets. That way we will make sure we have a guide for you and our meeting will definitely take place :) If you make a last-minute decision to take a tour, do not hesitate to contact us either. We will do our best to arrange a guide for you to show you the country.
We will definitely agree on it well in advance! Then, two days before the tour date, a reminding email with the name and the phone number of your guide, the exact location of the meeting point and its photo will be sent to you. Please do not miss this letter. Thanks! :)
Sure. We love to plan individual programs more than anything else. In addition to our existing tours, a boat or a yacht trip could be included; a hot air balloon flight, designer shops and art gallery tours, various workshops, tastings, university tours, castle visiting and much, much more. In addition, we adore arranging multi-day bicycle trip programs around the country. Arranging an individual program is a paid service. Let us know your personal wishes and we will do our best to make it happen!
Perhaps, you still have some questions. This is what we get asked about most of the time.
