An audiguide is a great way to explore the city
An old center of Amsterdam is quite large, so if you are there for the first time, it is really useful to have some guidance. You can also learn quite a lot about history and traditions of the city of freedom, and find out where to go next.

Sunny day for a walk
Because my feet were hurting I did not participate. But it was a beautiful day for a walk.
Response from the operator: We’re sorry your feet decided to go on strike right before your walk in Amsterdam 😅 Sometimes they just say, “Today we admire the city… from a bench!” The good news is that your TouringBee audio guide is always there when your feet feel more adventurous again — you can start, pause, and come back to it anytime. We hope you’ll give it another try and enjoy the full experience on your next visit — and perhaps it will even deserve a higher rating next time 😊

very bad idea
we didn't get the application: very complicated, incomprehensible explanations.... pity but never again would I take this kind of service.
Response from the operator: Nous sommes désolés que vous n’ayez pas pu profiter de votre audioguide. N'hésitez pas à nous écrire à support@touringbee.com — nous vous aiderons à activer votre visite. Vous pouvez toujours l’utiliser plus tard, elle reste disponible pendant 1 an après l’achat.

Сool vibes
It was like walking in city with funny and smart friend who knows all interesting things — art, museums, coffeeshops, freedoms, even some crazy local facts I never hear before! The audioguide talks about different topics, not only boring history stuff. I enjoyed how relaxed it is — you go on your speed, take break, have coffee (or something stronger, hehe) Also, it make me smile many times! Super nice experience, I feel I really understand spirit of Amsterdam now. Thanks for cool vibes
Response from the operator: What a fantastic way to describe it — like a walk with a funny, smart friend! We're so happy you enjoyed the mix of stories and freedom to explore at your own pace (coffee or something stronger totally approved 😉). Amsterdam has a special energy, and we're thrilled the audioguide helped you feel it. Hope to join you on your next adventure too!

Amsterdam Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Amsterdam Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone cost?
+
Prices start at $11 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 Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 5 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 Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone?
+
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 Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amsterdam Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone?
+
Around 2 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amsterdam Walking Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone 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.
