Amsterdam, Netherlands
Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

On this private 6-hour Amsterdam tour, we’ll weave our way both on two feet and two wheels through the city’s history and modern growth, with plenty of tasty stops along the way! This tour is a combination of our 2 top-selling Amsterdam tours (In the city of, bikes and Amsterdam Food by Foot ), so you'll get a taste of it all in one epic urban adventure!
You begin your Private Total Amsterdam discover by meeting with your local guide in the city centre and hopping on a Dutch bike.
We weave our way through Amsterdam’s history and growth by starting out downtown and then making our way out to the northern dijks (dykes). Along the way, we hit up historic sites in the financial district and get an up-close look at the city’s defences, learning how windmills, canals, and walls helped build this nation and its people.
The sheer volume of bikes and cyclists in Amsterdam is apparent throughout your tour, from a waterfront stop that’s home to no less than 500 bikes parked in stalls, to thrilling infamous intersections where at least 30 bikes of all shapes and sizes whiz by every minute!
By the time you get to the food tasting part of our adventure, you will be ready for a bite or two. After all that cycling, it’s time to fuel up! We’ll abandon our bikes and immediately start the food adventure part of our Amsterdam tour with a visit to the Spui square and the southern part of Amsterdam’s old city centre. You’ll find out why locals love snacking on hot, salty vlaams friets by trying some yourself. We’ll also take a quick tour of a cafeteria, go for a stroll through a cheese shop, eat some puffed-up pancakes, and digest while we tour the oldest restaurant district in the centre of town. We finish up in a traditional Dutch pub after a sip of traditional liquor.
Private Total Amsterdam Tour will finish here, but you’re free to keep exploring the area — we can give you some local tips so your Amsterdam adventure doesn’t have to end just yet.
This tour is priced for a minimum group size of two travellers. A solo traveller may still book this private experience but will be charged the base rate for two travellers.
