What To Expect

Begin with a walk through the city's renowned Red Light District, where your local guide fills you in on the history of the famously tolerant Dutch attitudes toward the legalization of drugs and the sex trade. Explore this beautiful historic district's vibrant streets and learn about the coffee-shop culture, historical and modern politics, and Amsterdam's history.
Next, head to the famous Jordaan District, a former working-class neighborhood with a rich history. Stop by the famous Anne Frank house and the West Church and wander through the narrow, winding streets that are now home to trendy art galleries and shops. Continue to Rembrandtplein and Leidseplein, and take a break at a local cafe while you soak up the lively plaza atmosphere and enjoy a snack and a drink at your own expense. After you're refreshed, walk through Albert-Cuyp Market, one of the largest street markets in the Netherlands that has everything from vintage clothing to fresh-baked waffles.
On the last leg of the 4-hour tour, visit sites like the 14th-century Begijnhof and the Jewish quarter before concluding your walk at Dam Square or another location in Amsterdam's city center.
