Itinerary

  • Rijksmuseum

    Split the day between the canals and cobblestones of the cityā€™s historic center and the masterpieces hanging in the Rijksmuseum. The tour will begin at the Rijksmuseum, Hollandā€™s version of the Louvre, and learn about the highlights of its 8000 or so objects on display, including works by iconic Dutch artists like Rembrandt. This tour will introduce first-time visitors to the impressive and expansive collection that curates Dutch history over the centuries. For those who arenā€™t familiar with Dutch culture, you will explore its rich and vibrant past through a selection of paintings and artifacts from the 8000 objects on display. Weā€™ll explore familiar names like Rembrandt while discussing lesser known items like 17th century dollhouses and Vermeerā€™s portrait of domesticity, ā€œThe Milkmaid.ā€ Thereā€™s even a fascinating 19th century library containing more stories than we could ever tell. By the end, youā€™ll have a good overview of the museumā€™s collection and you may even know how to pronounce its name correctly. Then after a break for lunch, The historical walk will introduce you to this capital city, known for its openness and vice as much as for its charming bridges and leaning houses. Wander the canals and get your bearings as you learn about the medieval gate and Amstel River that helped shape Amsterdam.

    2 hours 30 minutes

  • St. Nicholas Basilica

    Starting at our designated meeting point of St Nicholasā€™ Basilica, we will firstly discuss the history of the cityā€™s primary Roman Catholic Church. Built at the end of the 19th century at a time when Roman Catholics could once again profess their faith in public after three centuries of prohibition, the building is a blend of different architectural styles and artistic movements.

    10 minutes

  • Weeping Tower

    We will then make our way towards the Schreierstoren, often known as the Tower of Tears or Weeperā€™s Tower. Originally part of the medieval city wall of Amsterdam, this tower is mainly known for the belief that women wept there for their husbands who would leave from the port to go to war or to fish.

    10 minutes

  • N/A

    We will then walk through an area known to be the Chinatown of Amsterdam. Zeedijk is a street in the old centre of Amsterdam and consists of a number of Asian markets, restaurants and shops, as well as the Zeedijk Buddhist temple, known to be the largest Chinese style Buddhist temple in Europe.

    10 minutes

  • Our Lord in the Attic Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder

    We will briefly walk by and discuss the Museum Our Lord in the Attic, one of the most cherished museums in Amsterdam. The attic of this bourgeoisā€™ house conceals a secret Catholic Church originally built in 1663, when Catholics lost their right to workship in their own way.

    10 minutes

    10 minutes

  • Nieuwmarkt

    From here, we will make our way to the lively nightspot and market square, Nieuwmarkt which is found in the old city centre. This spot has been a centre for commerce and socialising in Amsterdam since the 17th century as the squareā€™s location just inside the old city gate made it a convenient spot for traders and shoppers looking for fresh produce.

    10 minutes

  • The Waag

    During our time at Nieuwmarkt, we will also see what is known as ā€œDe Waagā€, a 15th century building that is one of Amsterdamā€™s oldest remaining non-religious buildings. Originally a city gate and part of the walls of Amsterdam, the building has also served as a guildhall, museum and firestation, among other things.

    10 minutes

  • Trippenhuis

    Moving on, we will see both the Trippenhuis & Klein Trippenhuis. While the Trippenhuis is Amsterdamā€™s widest home, spanning an enormous 22m, the Klein Trippenhuis is one of Amsterdamā€™s narrowest houses located right across from the Trippenhuis.

    10 minutes

    At the river we will see two bridges, known as the Skinny Bridge and the Blue Bridge.
