This 2.5-hour walking tour begins at WOW Tours in Amsterdam. The guide leads a small group of up to six people through the city’s main sights while maintaining safe distances and health measures. The route passes along Amsterdam’s UNESCO-listed canals and includes stops at key locations such as Kalverstraat, the largest shopping street in the Netherlands, and the less-visited Red Light District, where the guide shares respectful information without stopping. The tour continues through an eastern downtown neighborhood to discuss the city’s growth, then points out the Portuguese Synagogue near the New Market area as part of the Jewish district. Next, the group visits Dam Square, the city’s central plaza, pausing to discuss historic buildings. The route ends at the Royal Palace Amsterdam, where the guide explains its history and significance today. On days with good weather, guides may offer an optional extension to the west, visiting the Jordaan area to see Maison Descartes and Westerkerk. These stops are available only upon request at the start of the tour. Throughout the walk, the English-speaking local guide provides personalized recommendations for bars and eateries in the area. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, and gratuities are optional.
