You will leave with a newfound appreciation for this beautiful city, with interesting facts and stories about the Amsterdam history, culture, and landmarks, such as the well-known Central Station.
Book a 6-hour car tour to see the highlights of the Old Town and visit 2 top-rated tourist attractions: Rijksmuseum and the Basilica of St. Nicholas.

On this tour you will also visit the city’s only Basilica to admire its rich interior decorated with frescoes and stained glass. Discover a hidden gem of Amsterdam!

What you should know
- Please check your email the day before the tour for important information.
- Please note that the number of attractions depends on the selected option. Tickets to the Sydeck and Rijksmuseum, and entry to St. Nicholas Basilica is not included in the 3-hour tour.
- The Basilica of Saint Nicholas is open to the public Tuesday – Friday from 11 am to 4 pm, Monday and Saturday from 12pm to 3pm. Interior tours during masses and scheduled events are limited, so if the Basilica is closed at the time of your tour, we may replace it with a visit to the Westerkerk or a similar attraction instead.
- Skip-the-line tickets to the Top-rated Skydeck allow you to enter faster without purchasing tickets on the spot, but you may have to wait in line for ticket validation and mandatory security checks.
- Due to city regulations, guided tours are not allowed to pass through the Red Light District, so you will see the Oude Kerk from a nearby street.
- We will arrange private transfers in a standard car (sedan) for groups of 1-4 people, and in a larger van for groups of 5 people and more.
- Due to local transportation regulations, groups larger than 7 people will be split into 2 (or more) vehicles during transfers.
- There will be 1 guide per 15 people, so if you book a tour for more than 7 people the guide will travel in only one of the cars and give commentary for the whole group during stops at the attractions.
- For larger groups, not everyone will travel with a guide on board. Don’t worry, as there will be many stops on this tour so you will have many oppotunities to chat with your guide. Both the guide and your English-speaking drivers will be happy to answer your questions in the car.
- In Amsterdam, the rule is that a licensed guide can show a group of 1-15 people. For 16-30 people we will provide service of 2 licensed guides. For 31-45 people we will provide the service of 3 licensed guides.
