This isn’t your grandma’s city tour—unless your grandma’s into coffeeshops and scandalous stories.
We’re talking Amsterdam unfiltered. A private, locally guided dive into the city’s most misunderstood icons: coffeeshops and the Red Light District. Think fewer boring facts, more "wait, what?!" moments. This is the culture behind the reputation—how Amsterdam became the world capital of chill, and why there’s more to the Red Light District than neon lights and bachelor parties.
Expect Vibes, Not Lectures
In two hours, get quirky history, wild legends, and cultural insight—minus the tourist traps. Your guide (aka your cool Amsterdam friend) leads you through Zeedijk and other hidden gems, plus coffeeshops that helped shape a movement.
100% Private. 100% You.
No crowds. Just you and a guide who adapts to your pace and questions. Want more weed talk, less window chat? Stroopwafels? Let’s go.
Real People. Real Stories.
Let’s walk, talk, and vibe through the real Amsterdam.
