What to expect on your Cultural City Tour?

The 2-hour walking tour through the historic center of Amsterdam takes you through all eras of the city’s history. Find out how the merchants, traders and poor wretches of the Middle Ages lived, how the Golden Age brought the arts to flourish, how the Second World War left deep wounds in Amsterdam’s soul and how vibrant life is today in this cosmopolitan, tolerant, multicultural city. All of this is neatly packaged in our Cultural City Tour of Amsterdam!

Well-known and secret sights

During the cultural city tour of Amsterdam, we will show you all the important sights of the lively city center. The tour starts in the heart of Amsterdam at Dam Square, right where the city was founded.

We then walk past the Royal Palace of Amsterdam – will you see King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima during your visit? -, past the Nieuwe Kerk and the former main post office Magna Plaza to the Torensluis Bridge. It is the widest bridge in Amsterdam and holds a few secrets …

There you will see one of the smallest houses in Amsterdam and reflect on the colonial era of the Netherlands at the Multatuli statue. Then stroll along the typical crooked houses of the beautiful canals and cross the time-honored Spui Square to reach the pearl of Amsterdam’s city center through a hidden entrance: the Beguinage. We can’t wait to see if you discover the Beguinage’s secret church right away!

After taking a look at the sublime landmark of the Jordaan district, the Westerkerk, on your way back to Dam Square you will see the river from which the city takes its name: the Amstel.

The cultural city tour ends at the National Monument, which was originally erected to commemorate the victims of the Second World War, but is now a memorial to all victims who have lost their lives in every war worldwide.

Our cultural city tour of Amsterdam in English gives you a comprehensive overview of our beautiful canal city through all eras.

Individual exploration with Incredible Amsterdam We booked an individual tour, 3 hours city centre and AMS North by bike. We are absolutely thrilled, because from the beginning of the booking & consultation to the tour itself and the tour guide we felt comfortable and our wishes have always been fulfilled. The staff are all very nice, always helpful and very experienced. I would book this tour operator again and again and can highly recommend it. The tours are authentic, informative, the guides are experienced and very friendly. Thank you Amsterdamliebe!

Love for Amsterdam reinforced The organisation of Incredible Amsterdam for the guided tour for our two groups of 8 people each through the Rijksmuseum and the city of Amsterdam worked perfectly. The introduction to the golden age in one of Europe's most important world heritage cities was a great success. The three plagues of the past X (plague, water and fire) and the three plagues of the present X (bicycles, tourists and cannabis) were vividly and vividly described to us. The guides were very friendly and conveyed their enthusiasm for the city very well.
