A day in Amsterdam is at your disposal, you lucky thing. Make the most of it with one of our hosts in a customized experience of the city. Visit iconic venues like the Anne Frank House or Van Gogh Museum, or stroll The Nine Streets (De Negen Straatjes) that connect the city’s main waterways. Perhaps you’d like to take in traditional Dutch architecture whilst cruising down the famous Herengracht canal? But wait, did someone mention food? Stop at a street vendor for some traditional Dutch sweets, pop in to a local eatery or visit a food market.

    Leese was very communicative in advance to make sure she had an itinerary we would enjoy, and she really nailed it. We wanted to avoid the typical touristy stops and get a good sense of Material itself. She did a wonderful job of that. We booked 3 hours in the morning, and it set us up for a great lunch in a locals hotspot. This was a great choice, and we felt we really got our money's worth. It was most memorable for what it wasn't; we are always afraid that the guide is just going to walk us around to vendors with whom she has deals. This was definitely not that.

  • Gerg was wonderful!
