Overview

Quotes Logo Private Amsterdam Walking Tour: Rijksmuseum, Jordaan, and Canal Tour offers a special way to see Amsterdam. This isn't just another group tour; it's a personal, 6-hour journey into the heart of the city.

It starts at the Rijksmuseum, home to Dutch masterpieces. Instead of just hearing facts, you'll hear stories that bring the art to life. After the museum, the tour explores the Jordaan, a charming neighborhood with canals and hidden courtyards that most tourists never see. Then enjoy a scenic canal cruise during the best light of the day.

The tour includes museum entry and the canal cruise ticket. What's not included is lunch, snacks and tips. Key stops include the Rijksmuseum, Jordaan District, Haarlemmerbuurt & Prinseneiland. A local guide leads the way, sharing their love for Amsterdam and making sure everyone has a great time. With a small group, it's more like exploring with a friend than being on a tour. Quotes Logo
