Private Tours in Amsterdam, Designed Around You

100%, our private Amsterdam tours are fully customizable. Want museums? More food? Less walking? Just say the word. We tailor every part of your private tour to you (and your feet's mood). Get in touch below and we aim to reply the same day.

The difference is who else comes along. Our public 10 Tastes of Amsterdam tour is a shared group of up to 12 guests on a set route, with departures every hour. A private tour is your group only, with your own guide, your own start time, and a route we adjust to you. No crowds, no awkward small talk with strangers, just your people and the city in all its unfiltered glory.

Most private tours in Amsterdam run between 1.5 hours on the water and 6 hours for the full-day food tour. Private walking food tours take 3 to 3.5 hours, Haarlem runs 3 hours and Utrecht 3-4 hours, and the Schiphol layover tour is the long one at 5-7 hours. Every card on this page shows its own duration, so pick the one that fits your day and we build the rest around your curiosity.

Food is included on most private tours, and it's the good stuff. We skip the tourist traps and head straight for local gems (where the stroopwafels are hot and the beer is cold). Another perk of doing a private tour in Amsterdam with food-lovers like us.

Children are welcome on every private tour. Babies and toddlers under three come along for free, sit on a lap and do not take a seat; a child of four or older books a normal seat. We adjust stories, stops, and snacks to suit your crew, and we have had toddlers, teens, and even grumpy uncles. Because a great private tour works for every generation.

The private 10 Tastes of Amsterdam is €460 for one or two guests, then €70 for each extra guest up to six (four guests pay €600) and €95 for each guest from the seventh (ten guests pay €1,120), VAT included. Bike, boat and the other tours each show their own starting price on the card above.

Cancel up to 24 hours before the start for a full refund. For bookings above €1,000, such as a large company group, the free cancellation window is 48 hours. Want a different date or time instead? Message us on WhatsApp or email and we move the booking if a guide is free.

The private 10 Tastes food tour usually starts at Gastrovino, Spuistraat 330, in the city center. Staying at a central hotel? Your guide collects you on foot from the lobby instead, at no extra charge, and from a hotel farther out you ride the metro or tram in together. Put the hotel in the special requests when you book. The other tours name their own start point on their page.

English is standard on every private tour. Dutch, Spanish, French, German, Russian and Ukrainian are possible on the private food tours and the private bike food tour, depending on guide availability, so write the language in the special requests when you book. The Anne Frank and WWII tour runs in another language on request.

The private walking food tour can start as late as 19:00, so an evening slot after museums or meetings works. Book 16:00 or earlier if the cured herring is on your list, because that is the one tasting an evening start drops.

A private walking tour can run on a wheelchair-accessible route, in Amsterdam and on the Haarlem and Utrecht food tours: mention it in the special requests when you book and your guide adapts the route. A foldable wheelchair makes it easier. The public 10 Tastes cannot do that, the cobblestones and the tiny venues rule it out.

The private 10 Tastes of Amsterdam food tour can be fully vegan or fully halal, because the route is built around your group, and vegetarian, pescatarian and gluten-free are no trouble. Tell us when you book, and tell us early if there is an allergy, so your guide can settle the stops with the venues before you arrive. For vegan on the Haarlem or Utrecht food tours, ask us before you book.

The private 10 Tastes of Amsterdam food tour runs rain or shine, this is Amsterdam after all. Most tastings are indoors and your guide adjusts the walking between them when it pours. Bring a rain jacket, or ask your hotel for an umbrella; most hotels keep them at the door.

Tipping is not expected on a private tour, or anywhere in the Netherlands: service is included by law and your guide is paid properly. If they made your day, a tip is welcome and always optional, and a review on Google or Tripadvisor does even more for them.

Earlier is easier, especially from May to September, but a private food tour can often be booked last minute: guests have booked one for the same afternoon over WhatsApp at +31 6 23028032. Message us and we will tell you straight away whether a guide is free.

Prices are in euros, and your card is charged in euros at checkout. Your bank converts the amount, so check whether your card adds a foreign transaction fee.

Yes. Send us the company name, address and VAT number with your enquiry and we invoice your company directly, or we send you a card payment link instead. Prices are in euros. Booking a team outing? The Team edition is made for companies, tips and drinks included, see our team building page.

Skipping the alcohol is no problem on the private 10 Tastes of Amsterdam food tour, and nothing is lost. Any drink can be swapped for coffee, tea or a soft drink, so just tell your guide at the first stop. Guests under 18 get the alcohol-free option by default, as 18 is the legal drinking age in the Netherlands.

There is a toilet at the first stop and one at the last. In between, your guide knows the cafés along the route where you can step in for a minute, so just say the word.

Yes, and pregnant guests join regularly. The one stop worth knowing about in advance is the herring, which is cured rather than cooked. Plenty of guests skip that one and your guide will have something else ready, no explanation needed. Whether you eat it is your call and not ours, and nothing here is medical advice. Mention it when you book and your guide will keep an eye out for you.
