Overview

This is not a group tour with headsets and a strict schedule. This is your chance to explore Amsterdam like you're meeting up with a local friend who just happens to know all the best bites, stories, and shortcuts.

We created this private stopover experience because so many travellers pass through Schiphol without ever getting a real taste of the city. With us, you step off the plane and go straight into a curated adventure — full of Dutch flavours, local history, cheeky stories, and zero tourist traps.

Whether it’s your first time in Amsterdam or your tenth, we tailor the tour to your interests, pace, and dietary needs. You’ll taste 10+ local specialities, walk along UNESCO-listed canals, and still make it back to the airport with time to spare — full, happy, and a little more Dutch than when you arrived.

“Super smooth, delicious, and back at the airport with time to spare. Zero stress. Felt like hanging out with a local friend — Who drops you off at airport on time.”

Activity itinerary

Schiphol
  • 15m
Your guide meets you at Schiphol Airport with a warm welcome (and a stroopwafel!). Together, you'll take the efficient 14-minute train ride to Amsterdam Central Station, ensuring you maximise your time in the city. Cold drink in hand "Cheers" to a great stopover tour.
Central Station
  • 10m
No need to lug your bags around. We'll utilise the baggage service at Central Station, so you can explore hands-free and worry-free.
Henri Willig Cheese Farm Store - Amsterdams Kaashuis
  • 20m
Just landed and already hungry? Perfect. We’ll start strong with a proper Dutch cheese tasting: 10 types of Gouda (yes, 10!), from young and creamy to old and crumbly, with a few funky surprises in between. Think of it as your edible introduction to the Netherlands — no museum ticket required. Optional wine or local liquorette available for those who like a good pairing. You’ll leave this stop full of cheese and dangerously confident about your pronunciation of “Gouda.”
The Jordaan
  • 30m
Welcome to the Jordaan — once the rough side of town, now full of cosy cafés, secret courtyards, and old canal houses leaning like they had one too many beers. This is where locals live, drink, and eat. We’ll stop for traditional Dutch bites (think: warm poffertjes with powdered sugar, a local beer, or silky aged cheese), depending on the season and your taste. Your guide will share the salty and sweet stories behind Amsterdam’s most charming area — from working-class rebels to Rembrandt’s neighbors.
Canals of Amsterdam
  • 25m
Stroll through the UNESCO-listed canals, uncover the stories of the Dutch Golden Age, and see where New York once began as New Amsterdam. Your guide shares tales that bring the city's history to life.
Begijnhof
  • 10m
If time allows, we’ll swing by the Begijnhof — a quiet courtyard hidden behind the city’s buzz. It’s home to one of Amsterdam’s best-kept secrets: a 17th-century Catholic church hidden inside two canal houses, built when public worship was banned. A peaceful pause in your tour, and a glimpse into how the Dutch mastered the art of bending the rules… politely.
Flower Market
  • 20m
We’ll pass by the world’s only floating flower market, where stalls sit atop canal barges just like they did in the 1800s. Yes, it’s touristy — but also charming in that “only-in-Amsterdam” kind of way. Your guide will explain why tulips once caused economic chaos, and how the Dutch turned flowers into an international empire. Bonus: it smells fantastic.
Anne Frank House
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
We stop outside the Anne Frank House — the original canal home where Anne, her family, and four others hid for over two years during the Nazi occupation. The building dates back to the 1600s, but its most powerful history happened behind a movable bookcase in the 1940s. While we don’t go inside during this tour, your guide will share the backstory of how the Secret Annex operated, how Anne’s diary came to light, and the tragic timeline of events after their arrest.
Herring Stall Jonk
  • 10m
Ready to eat like a real Amsterdammer? Try haring — raw, lightly salted herring served with onions and pickles. Sounds intense, tastes like tradition. Loved by locals, feared by tourists… until they try it.
Red Light District (De Wallen)
  • 30m
This isn’t just Amsterdam’s most talked-about area — it’s also the oldest. In the Red Light District (De Wallen), we’ll walk streets laid out in the 1300s, where sailors once stumbled in and the Reformation hid behind secret church doors. You’ll hear how this area became a symbol of Dutch tolerance — and why it’s way more complex (and fascinating) than the postcards make it seem. Along the way, we’ll grab a bite or a shot of jenever, because some stories go down better with a sip.
