Tour Details

Handwriting of Amsterdam: to see and solve! Let's start our journey with a walk along the canals through the oldest districts of the city: here are important historical sites, dancing gingerbread houses on the water, the narrowest building in the world and the office of the richest company of all time. Along the way, I will tell you how people live in boats and why Amsterdam is considered the capital of bicycles. And on Rembrandt Square, near the Night Watch monument, we will talk about the symbolism of the painting and the fate of the great artist.

In addition, you will look into the most ancient and mysterious courtyard of the city - Beginhof, walk along the square where its history began, and see the main balcony of the country. To finish the meeting deliciously, we will visit a boutique of real Dutch cheese and real Dutch herring matias
