Why choose us over other similar tours here on Guru Walk?

• Because you want to support people who actually put in the work. Our tour is based on years long research. 'Amsterdam Original: All-In-One Walking Tour' is a blatant copy of our tour run by someone who scammed us. So don't go for the cheap knock-off when you can support the artisans!  

• All our guides are life long locals with a relevant University degree and/or also work in renowned institutions like the Rijkmuseum. This means we really know what we are talking about and are able to offer you genuine, personal perspectives and educated insights, making each tour unique, not a shallow carbon copy of a script that was learned by hard. Plus we can answer all your most difficult / obscure questions!

• After the tour we will provide you with an extensive list (and map) of all our favourite bars, restaurants, clubs and other fun things to do in the city.  Plus discount codes for a small boat canal tour with 'Those Dam Boat Guys', museums, and more.

• Free Snack & Souvenir: on the tour, you will be treated to a typical Dutch snack and you will also receive a nice souvenir at the end.  

Please note: the tour is always and only in English, NOT Spanish. We reserve the right to turn away guests with a limited understanding of English.
