A must do tour
Jerry was outstanding. We were running late and when we showed, he was extremely welcoming. He combined interesting facts with his unique brand of humor which made the tour really fun. We really liked how he talked about some personal experiences dealing with the canals. His restaurant recommendations were spot on. I wish we would have had booked his other tours during our stay. He is a can’t miss guide.

Great walking tour!
I booked this tour at the last minute, after reading positive reviews on Facebook groups. Jerry gave us a great walking tour of Amsterdam, filled with a lot of history, and some funny stories. During our tour he brought us to a popular brown café for a break, where we had bitterballen, a popular local dish. They were so good we went back on our own, the following day for some more. Our tour lasted over 3 hours, was well paced, and very enjoyable. Jerry gave us restaurant suggestions, and helpful tips and information for the rest of our stay. He was easy to understand and so nice. Would definitely recommend.
Response from the operator: Awesome review, thank you. And I'm glad that you enjoyed my tour.

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amsterdam Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Fun Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Amsterdam Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Fun Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amsterdam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amsterdam Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Fun Guide take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amsterdam is not rushed.
Is Amsterdam Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Fun Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 93 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amsterdam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amsterdam Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Fun Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amsterdam Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Fun Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amsterdam Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Fun Guide?
+
Around 33 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amsterdam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amsterdam and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amsterdam Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Fun Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amsterdam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Amsterdam?
+
On Outty we rank every Amsterdam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with 10 Tastings, Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group, Amsterdam 90 minutes Canal Cruise with bar and snacks on board.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Amsterdam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Amsterdam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Amsterdam Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Fun Guide?
+

Not included: Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Amsterdam Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Fun Guide?
+
