Amsterdam Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Fun Guide
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
Take a fascinating walk with me, an enthusiastic and knowledgeable expert, who brings to life the best Amsterdam highlights, hidden gems and historical sights through entertaining storytelling.
You'll see the most interesting parts of the city within a sensible timeframe and at a relaxed, non-rushed pace. Not only will you learn about the things and the people that make the city famous, like the canals, coffeeshops, Rembrandt and Anne Frank; but you’ll also discover places only known to locals that are not found in tourist guides.
My goal with this tour is to make you feel like you are part of the city instead of an outsider traveling through it. In other words, you’ll feel less like a tourist and more like a local.

5.00Jerry was an excellent guide for the Amsterdam Highlights and Hidden Gems tour. We had already done three other tours during our trip, and he still managed to share information and stories we hadn’t heard anywhere else. I’ve actually been to Amsterdam three times, and I was surprised by how much new history and insight I learned from him. He pointed out details around the city that most people would easily walk past and explained them in a really engaging and helpful way. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour feel fresh even for someone who has visited before. Highly recommend taking this tour with Jerry if you want to learn things about Amsterdam that you probably wouldn’t discover on your own.

5.00Had a brilliant tour with Jerry in Oct 25 - great history alongside hearing about life in Amsterdam now. He was really friendly and took into account what we were interested in seeing and hearing about. Got a good sense of the layout which helped with the rest of our trip. Stopped off a nice beer along the way in a traditional Dutch bar, and got dropped off at a wonderful place for jenever at the end with clear instructions about the best way to taste it! Would definitely recommend.
Tour de Force!

5.00What a fantastic tour of Amsterdam with Jerry! Jerry is knowledgeable, informative, and engaging, but most of all fun! We has a fabulous time with him. Jerry warmed up a cold, windy, and damp day with history, anecdotes, and personal stories. Highly recommended!

5.00It was a total joy to spend 3 hours with Jerry today and learn from his vast knowledge of this beautiful city. What a tour guide. We felt like we had been in the city for so much longer than 3 hours and loved every minute. Thank you.
Local guide around Amsterdam

5.00Jerry made our walking tour a genuine highlight of the trip. From the moment we met, he was warm, organised, and clearly passionate about the city. What really stood out was how thorough he was: the route felt thoughtfully planned, and he took the time to explain the “why” behind what we were seeing, history, culture, architecture, and how Amsterdam has changed over time. Jerry’s knowledge goes way beyond the usual facts. He seemed to know every local story tied to the streets we walked, and he shared them in a way that brought the city to life, with little details, legends, and anecdotes you’d never find by googling. He also gave practical tips along the way (great spots to revisit, things to avoid, and how to experience Amsterdam like a local), which was incredibly useful. We never felt rushed, and he was happy to answer questions and tailor parts of the tour to what we were curious about. I genuinely recommend requesting Jerry, he’s engaging, knowledgeable, and makes you see Amsterdam with fresh eyes!
Morning walking tour.

Fantastic Walking Tour of Amsterdam

5.00Jerry was a wonderful tour guide! We learned the 750 year history of Amsterdam as we walked along the cobblestone streets. We saw the Palace, Rembrandt’s House, the Master’s Guild building, the floating flower market and so many more interesting places. If you are looking for a tour pointing out interesting places in Amsterdam while explaining the fascinating history of the city, this is the tour for you.
Excellent enthusiastic guide.

5.00Jerry was a great guide. He made a cold rainy day into a fantastic tour, we learnt so much about the history of Amsterdam and lots of interesting insights about the city that we wouldn’t have found out on our own. He is very knowledgeable and very happy to share tips with us. Highly recommend doing his tour.
