Activity itinerary

Rijksmuseum
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Step into the heart of the Dutch Golden Age with a curated tour of the Rijksmuseum, designed to highlight the most iconic works in record time. This 2-hour tour focuses on the "must-sees" without the overwhelm—from Rembrandt’s The Night Watch and Vermeer’s The Milkmaid to the symbolism, scandal, and secrets hidden in Dutch masterpieces. Your expert guide will blend storytelling, history, and a bit of wit to bring centuries of art and Amsterdam’s rise to power to life—perfect for travelers short on time but big on curiosity.
Canal Ring (Grachtengordel) (Pass by)
Exit the museum and stroll across the architecturally grand Museumplein, home to the city’s most prestigious cultural institutions. As you walk, your guide will point out key landmarks, offer fun insights into Dutch culture, and lead you through quiet side streets into the charming canal district—away from the tourist traps, into the soul of the city.
Bloemenmarkt
  • 15m
We’ll wind through Amsterdam’s iconic 17th-century canal belt, a UNESCO World Heritage site built on trade, power, and some very progressive ideas. Along the way, you’ll pass elegant merchant houses, crooked canal bridges, and the occasional bicycle pile-up—all with colorful commentary. You’ll stop briefly at the Bloemenmarkt, the world’s only floating flower market, where tulips, souvenirs, and local charm bloom year-round.
Kalverstraat (Pass by)
The final leg of the tour follows Kalverstraat, Amsterdam’s busiest shopping street, into the historic core. You’ll end at Dam Square, the symbolic heart of the city, where royalty, revolution, and pigeons all meet. Your guide will leave you here with tips for the rest of your time—whether that’s hopping back to the airport or exploring a bit more on your own.
