Discover all the treasures of the city's historic centre with this fascinating Amsterdam History Tour. Its mysteries and history will be revealed to you!

Description

During this guided tour, you'll be immersed in the history of Amsterdam with fascinating anecdotes that our guide will reveal to you along the way.

You'll start at Dam Square and make your way through the medieval streets, where you'll be immersed in the golden age of Amsterdam. Nearby, you'll see iconoclastic historical monuments such as the Royal Palace and the New Church (Nieuwe Kerk).

Of course, you can also explore the city's canals and discover the legend around the Amstel. You'll also see the Begijnhof district (with the oldest house in the city), a men's prison from the late 16th century and the Mint Tower (Munttoren). In the Middle Ages, this was one of the gateways to the city!

Finally, after 2 hours of touring, we'll end the activity in Koningsplein Square.
