INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE
I highly recommend a tour with Jan. My wife and I have just returned from a 2 hour cruise on the back of Jan's tricycle-jitney. Not only was it great to cruise the winding streets and canals, but Jan's commentary and depth of knowledge of Amsterdam made this an experience we won't soon forget.

My walking tour with Jan Slingerland...
<p>My walking tour with Jan Slingerland was definitely 5 star. He planned our route so that I could see as much as possible, tailored the sights to my interests and showed me things I would have walked by and missed on my own. He was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Amsterdam, good company and fun to talk with. I had never taken a private tour before but had a very short time in Amsterdam and wanted to see and learn as much as possible so I took a chance and booked the tour. I couldn't have been more pleased with the result.</p>

Walking tour of 2 hours of the highlights of Amsterdam: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Walking tour of 2 hours of the highlights of Amsterdam cost?
+
Prices start at $332 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 Walking tour of 2 hours of the highlights of 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 Walking tour of 2 hours of the highlights of Amsterdam worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 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.

+
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 Walking tour of 2 hours of the highlights of Amsterdam?
+
Around 1 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 Walking tour of 2 hours of the highlights of Amsterdam start and how do I get there?

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?
+
