Old City Walk - Private Tour
A SHORT AND RELAXED INTRODUCTION TO AMSTERDAM
Explore the old city center of Amsterdam with a local expert
This walking tour is a great way to familiarize yourself with the city and get a first glimpse of Amsterdam after a long journey. Do you have to wait a while before you can check in at your hotel, or do you simply want to stretch your legs while seeing the city? Then the Old City Walk is a great choice for you. It also combines well with the Grand Dutch Food & History Tour, since these tours cover different areas of Amsterdam.
The Old City Walk Private Tour starts near the central station, and from there you will be guided to some of the most intriguing sights in the old center. Along the way, you will learn about interesting topics such as the origins of Amsterdam, the city’s historical importance as a trading center, and the way of life in Amsterdam since the Middle Ages.
You will also learn how freedom of religion came to be and explore – from the outside – some of the hidden churches in the city. And, of course, you will also learn about the more liberal side of Amsterdam.
