Delve deeper into one of Amsterdam's most fashionable districts. You’ll get off the beaten path and see a more local side of the city as you discover lesser-known coffee shops, art galleries, and markets. Following the Jordaaners, we will find out where to look for the most delicious apple pie, how to find a hidden cathedral, where to buy famous designer furniture and what to drink in old "brown bars". It is not about the life of aristocrats or historical figures, but the most ordinary citizens.

“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.

Half-Day Private Guided Sightseeing Tour of Zaanse Schans
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. Keukenhof's Tulip Paradise
Just like any miracle, Keukenhof is a wonderful and short-lived fairy tale. But one walk through this blooming Edem is enough to evoke images of a madly blooming paradise garden for years to come. We will pick you up from your hotel in Amsterdam. Along the way, you'll make a few stops at blooming fields, with the opportunity to visit a tulip farm. Finally, you'll reach the splendid destination - the Keukenhof! We'll buy your park tickets in advance, so you don't have to wait in queues.

Van Gogh Museum: secret of the green sun
Delve deeper into the life and works of Van Gogh during this tour that reveals more about the painter than you’d learn if exploring the Museum alone. You will see how Van Gogh's personality, technique, and palette changed over time. Remembering the artist's fascination with Japanese prints, we will see through examples how this exotic aesthetic influenced his lines and choice of compositions. And together with you, we will discuss the influence the artist had on the art of the 20th century.

Your Own Amsterdam. Unexpected Treasures of the City
We have put together all the main symbols of Amsterdam. But not only,since the route along the gorgeous facades and monuments is not the one that conveys the atmosphere of the city. To us, the humpback little bridges, cozy courtyards, friendly people enjoying a glass of good wine, cutely named mysterious hidden chapels and beautiful book markets are what will definitely give you the best impression of the city! This city's atmosphere is full of joy and happiness, just like our tour!

Politically incorrect Tour - Amsterdam
Get ready for a wild ride through the streets of Amsterdam! This isn't your typical, boring, politically correct tour. Think of it as the unapologetically bold and hilarious tour of the city. 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 :)
