What To Expect
Centraal Station
Neo-Renaissance style building built by architect Pierre Kuiper. For the construction of Amsterdam Central Station it was necessary to build three artificial islands and use more than eight thousand wooden pillars to support the structure. This train station is very close to the city center and all the trains that connect Amsterdam with all of Europe leave (and arrive) from it.
Beurs van Berlage
La Bours van The first fair in Holland The first Stock Exchange in the Netherlands was founded by the Dutch East India Company in 1602. They decided to issue shares to finance their maritime activities. However, they needed an exchange building to trade the shares. In 1896, the city council decided to build a new stock exchange. The Stock Exchange building fell to the architect and urban planner Berlage to design a completely new building, among which the clock tower stands out. Berlage, as a fervent socialist, believed that the Beurshandel would not last long. But he resolved this dilemma intelligently and creatively, he decided to design the new Stock Exchange building in such a way that in the future, after the triumph of socialism, it could serve as a large community house, a people's palace. He built a de facto kind of symbolic town hall, a "people's palace" that could temporarily serve as a Stock Exchange.

5.00One of the best private tours EVER. (The exact tour we took was not listed in TripAdvisior's pull down menu, but it was the 5 hour private tour with hotel pickup). Andrea was so helpful with customizing the places we wanted to see. Our tour guide, Rafael, was a wealth of knowledge and side anecdotes that made the experience even more personal and special. He went above and beyond to get us to tulip fields that were in full bloom. He also found fields they were cutting and fields that were being replanted, which allowed us to see the entire process that IS tulip farming...not just a visit to a park where everything is planted beautifully but with no real back story of the locals and their contribution to this special time of year. Andrea suggested Leiden when we asked to see a more intimate town. Steeped in history, Rafael led us through a wonderful tour of the city, with a delightful luncheon at the Botanical Garden. I can not recommend Raices Tours enough. I wish I could give it a ten star review...they deserve it. Do NOT hesitate to book anything Andrea and her team offer!
