What To Expect

1

The reason the houses in Amsterdam are tilted is because of the soil. The city is built on marshlands, which means that everything heavy sinks right into the soil. Therefore, we started to build upon wooden poles to reach a deeper and more sturdy layer of soil that could support the heavy houses.

    Honestly didn't think it was worth it. Usually tours like these are fun and engaging. But this experience was dry. Also unlimited drinks only include beer, wine, and Prosecco.

  • Definitely Recommend!

    Anton was our guide and Tim was our driver who were both amazing. We did the unlimited drinks package and was definitely worth it! Such a fab way to see and learn about Amsterdam - thank you!
