Tour guide with a group by a canal in Amsterdam on a SmallGroup Hidden Gems Tour.

Stroll through Amsterdam, and discover hidden courtyards, charming UNESCO-listed canals, and local spots that most tourists miss on a 2-hour small-group guided walking tour.

See Amsterdam on an off-beat path

Go beyond the Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh Museum, and see a new side of Amsterdam. Learn about Amsterdam’s Asian, Black, Jewish, LGBTQ+, and women’s history. From Black history that dates to the 16th century to Indonesian women who fought the Dutch East India Company while shaping the city, your English-speaking guide will talk about the side of Amsterdam you might not know, but definitely should. It's a small-group tour, so you'll have plenty of time to ask your guide questions and really connect with the city.

Discover Amsterdam’s gems

Your tour starts in the Jewish Quarter and moves through the quiet Plantage neighborhood — two entirely different neighborhoods, giving you an end-to-end sense of what makes Amsterdam and its people unique. See a diamond in a tower, a building that looks like a castle on a quiet street, and more. See sites like the University of Amsterdam, City Hall, the HART Museum, and more.
