Amsterdam is a city full of history, art and surprising corners.

Although the tour does not include entry to the Anne Frank House, it is an excellent introduction to the history of the Anne Frank House before the visit. Duration is 2 hours, with prices ranging from €120-€180 per group.

The Rijksmuseum is home to some of the most iconic works of Dutch art, but touring it with a private guide will give you a better understanding of the history and secrets behind each painting.

There's nothing better than touring the city from the water on a private boat.
