Those Amsterdames

Those AmsterDames have been offering walking tours of Amsterdam since 2010. We specialize in History and Culture tours with an emphasis on Dutch food and drink culture. Biking is a way of life in the Netherlands, but biking in the city can be daunting to new arrivals. We recommend booking our tours outside the city to the lovely and picturesque villages of Zaanse Schans or Marken. The terrain is relatively flat and that makes biking easy. But don't worry, on all long distance tours we will have access to e-bikes, making the experience a breeze. Let us show you the best that Amsterdam has to offer.
