    An unforgettable tour through the heart of Amsterdam --the women whose fights shaped the world we live in.

    Eye-opening tales about remarkable women who defied taboos and changed the world. By following their steps around the streets of Amsterdam centuries ago, this unforgettable tour sheds light into anonymous, artists and entrepreneur women's struggles and hopes for freedom and justice.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for joining Badass Tours on the Women's History Tour of Amsterdam, and we're thrilled to hear how meaningful it was for you! These stories need to get out into the world, and it's such a great way to discover Amsterdam at the same time, right? We hope these badass women continue to inspire you for a long time to come!

    Wonderful Women in history tour of Amsterdam

    This tour was wonderful. Elyzabeth was a delightful and informative guide. She shared organized and interesting information about many “forgotten” women in history while showing us their homes. We learned about their unrecognized business contributions. I will recommend this tour to others. Thanks.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much, Nancy! It's so important to share these great women in Amsterdam's history, right? They deserve the spotlight! Wonderful that you enjoyed the tour, and we can't wait to introduce more people to it. :)

    Small-Group Women's History Tour in Amsterdam: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.

    How much does Small-Group Women's History Tour in Amsterdam cost?

    +

    Prices start at $34 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 Small-Group Women's History Tour in Amsterdam take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Small-Group Women's History Tour in Amsterdam worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Small-Group Women's History Tour in Amsterdam?

    +

    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 Small-Group Women's History Tour in Amsterdam suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Small-Group Women's History Tour in Amsterdam?

    +

    Around 6 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Small-Group Women's History Tour in Amsterdam 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.

    +

    Included: A passionate guide - and an Amsterdam history nerd - sharing incredible stories from women. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
