On our small group tours Amsterdam, we’ll tell you:
- What’s the difference between Holland and the Netherlands?
- How do the Dutch manage to live below sea level, and how does that shape their lives?
- How was Amsterdam founded, and how did it become one of the richest, most influential, and freest cities in the world?
- How did the tiny Netherlands grow into a vast colonial empire, and how do people today view that colonial past?
- Why does Amsterdam have so many canals?
- How did the Netherlands become the most bicycle‑friendly country in the world?
- Is there a Dutch cuisine?
But that’s not all. Want to know how to peek through the windows of the Royal Palace? Where did the green parrots in the city come from? Who steals bikes from the locals? How can you become a nun and still have a personal life? What is happening in Dutch cathedrals or former prisons? Why is our national color orange? Why are there no curtains in those big windows? We’ll cover all of that.
After our sightseeing tours Amsterdam, we’ll also recommend what you absolutely must see in Amsterdam and the Netherlands, where to have dinner, and how to spend your evening. And we’ll email you a detailed itinerary for our perfect day in Amsterdam—though there’s so much in that plan it could easily fill several days.
