Get ready for a wild ride through the streets of Amsterdam with our amazing team! We all felt in love with Amsterdam, its charm, beautiful architecture and history. We are happy to show you the city in not typical, more alternative, fun, politically incorrect way. You can expect lots of colorful language, humor that may push the envelope, and, yes, a healthy dose of history thrown in for good measure. So, if you're ready to break away from the norm and experience Amsterdam like never before, then this is the tour for you! No holds barred, no snowflakes allowed!

My tours were born from my passion for traveling and studying other cultures, from my avid late-night reading, and from meeting amazing, bright, and talented people from around the world. And, of course, it sprouted from my love for storytelling :). Now, there are 10 of us - guides in the Netherlands, Belgium, Serbia, Hungary, and Morocco. We are historians, designers, physicists, journalists, sociologists, and art historians. I am thrilled to share my knowledge and show you these fabulous and hidden places from a tourist's perspective. My team would be delighted to accompany you on this adventure full of unexpected discoveries as we travel through the centuries and immerse ourselves in the local culture!

Ed J.

Hi, my name is Ed. I started Kayak in Amsterdam in 2019 to share my passion for this city with people from all over the world. The Amsterdam canals are unique in their beauty and history, and to explore them from your own kayak is a truly magical and unforgettable experience. With our personalized tours you can discover Amsterdam in freedom and at your own pace. We show you the highlights, but also take you to interesting and beautiful places where the big tour boats can’t go. With small groups of maximum 5 people our friendly and experienced local guides will make sure your tour is safe and fun. We are centrally located so your tour along the canals will start right away. Come join us for a paddle that you will remember! Ed

Sebi J.

Welcome, I'm Sebi and together with Olivier we have the best canal tour experience in Amsterdam. We are two true Amsterdammers who love our beautiful city. After years of captaining on the canals, we started our own company with a historic, now-modernized boat (“Giuliana”) to deliver the ultimate cruise experience. Our rebuilt 100% electric vessel provides the passenger with a comfortable (we have a toilet), safe and environmentally friendly experience with great visibility both on beautiful summer days (open) and in the cold, wet winter days (dry and warm). We cruise with a maximum of 12 passengers on our boat, providing a spacious and personal experience with many bespoke options like food and drinks, sailing routes etc.

I am the team leader of a group of professional guides. Each of us arrived to the Netherlands with our suitcases full of dreams, under different circumstances, and with different motivations. After some years working in the Tourism Industry, we decided to use that knowledge to start our own company. Our goal is taking advantage of our experience, and improve the weakness of the “traditional” Tour Operators. In 2017 our company was born willing to provide visitors a unique experience. There is not a better planner than a guide who knows the city and can make the best out of your time in the city. I believe that your memories are the most important part of the trip. We like to have a direct contact with our customers from the start, and tailor making your experience with the highest quality standards. Our team has been showing the best of the country over 10 years. My goal is to show you the heart and soul of the Netherlands. We love to see you smiling and enjoying each part of your trip with us. Always in a friendly and responsible environment, showing you the traditions and the Dutch way of living.

As if descended from pastoral postcards, it is shrouded in the smells of freshly mowed grass, spices and chocolate! But can you imagine that the mills are still working and making a profit? And have their own language? And that some millers have science degrees? And why do ghosts live in some of the mills? Find out! We'll also take a look at how people live in the Dutch province, taste cheeses, waffles, chocolate beer, turn into anise liqueur fans and enjoy every minute of this amazing day!

Your Own Holland. Haarlem: A Tour Around Unusual Places

Haarlem

3 hours

In addition to beauty, high density of attractions per unit area, Haarlem has a lot of advantages! Perhaps, you won't be able to find another city with so many secret yards and little streets that are so dear to your heart, leading to an almshouse or even the Red Light District. Moreover, you can find excellent beer which is brewed inside one of Haarlem's cathedrals, or walk through the farmer's market, which is considered to be the best in the province - and those are just little treats.

Your Own Amsterdam: Private Walking Food Tour in Amsterdam

View All Netherlands Private Tours

3 hours

National cuisine is perhaps the most exciting way to get to know a country. And definitely the most honest. Why herring has become the most famous national dish? Why smoked eel has caused riots? How can you change the world for the better with chocolate or beer? How not to get lost in the abundance of cheeses and choose the best? Why oysters became a joy for mushroom pickers? All this - and much more - we will not only discuss, but we will also taste it!

“Beautiful Day at Zaanse Schans”

We were lucky to have sunshine on the day we visited Zaanse Schans. Our guide Marie's smile is as bright as the sunshine. She is patient and caring, sharing with us stories of the windmills and brought us to the cheese and chocolate places. The drinks at the cafe are lovely. We also enjoyed the special area she showed us at Amsterdam Ctrl Train Station.
