    Tour of the Royal Palace in Amsterdam. Led by an Expert Private Guide, wander through the Dam Square and immerse yourself in fascinating stories about the events and people who shaped Amsterdam's history. Inside the Royal Palace of Amsterdam you will discover richly decorated rooms and halls that are used during official state visits and other royal occasions, from gala dinners to award ceremonies. The palace was built in the mid-17th century as the Town Hall of the City of Amsterdam, but it became the royal residence during the reign of King Louis Napoleon, the younger brother of the French Emperor Napoleon I. Its interiors reflect the best of the Dutch Golden Age, with expensive decor, furniture and a collection of paintings and sculptures by some of the most distinguished artists of the time. Discover all of its secrets!

  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap

  • Please note that the number of attractions depends on the option selected. Private transfer and a guided tour of the Old Town (including a visit to Nieuwe Kerk) are not included in the basic 2-hour tour.
  • With skip-the-line tickets, you will have a pre-booked time slot to enter the Royal Palace, so you don't have to queue for tickets on site. A designated number of people will be entering and going through security at the same time, so delays are possible.
  • The Royal Palace is closed to the public when the royal family is at home.
  • Skip-the-line tickets to New Church include a timed entry slot for the ongoing exhibition. Admission to special exhibitions, concerts and other scheduled events is not included. If the church is closed at the time of your visit, you may visit the Basilica of St. Nicholas instead.
  • Due to city regulations, guided tours are not allowed to pass through the Red Light District, so you will see the Oude Kerk from a nearby street.
  • In Amsterdam, the rule is that a licensed guide can show a group of 1-15 people, so the price of the tour will be higher if you need more than 1 guide. For 16-30 people we will provide service of 2 licensed guides. For 31-45 people we will provide service of 3 licensed guides.
  • The 3- and 5-hour options include an estimated 1-hour transfer time between the meeting point and the accommodation address provided when booking. Please note that the transfer time quoted is for information purposes only and can take longer or shorter depending on the location of your accommodation in Amsterdam.
  • We will arrange private transfers in a standard car (sedan) for groups of 1-4 people, and in a larger van for groups of 5 people and more. Groups larger than 8 people will be split into 2 (or more) vehicles during transfers,

Very informative!

Published on Jan, 2025

We really enjoyed our palace tour with our guide Anna. Anna was lovely & so knowledgeable about the palace, it's art and sculpture, it's history, and the history of Amsterdam. She gave us a great visit with more info than we could have ever gotten on our own!

Enjoyable tour, v informative

Published on Sep, 2024

We could habe done this by Audio tour , but it was much more interesting with a guide to hand. You learn more about the Dutch way of life this way too. There wasn't a queue, so 'skipping the queue' wasn't relevant, but had there been, it would have been fabulous to just sale by. Good trip, worth the effort.
