We will start our walking tour at the Amsterdam Centraal Station - one of the most fabolous buildings in this city.
Strolling along the canals, we will get to former waterfront district of Amsterdam, famous for its old atmosphere and cozy brown bars of 17th century, which are very much loved by locals. Would you like to try some Dutch beer and find out, where you could pay for it with monkeys back in the Golden Age time? Then let's make a little stop in one of those bars!
We will definitely pay special attention to Chinatown
We will find hiding in the gateway of the old univercity.
We would love to show you humpback bridges, hidden chapels and cozy courtyards.
It is interesting to see Dam Square and the Royal palace, but they will never give you a complete image of how this city actually lives.

We had a wonderful time with Maria! She was a fun and informative guide who took us to all the central spots, but somehow via charming, calm, scenic routes that did not feel very touristy. It was a nice mix of history and current events going on in the city. She was flexible, friendly and fun - highly recommend!
Thank you for your feedback! We hope to see you again in one of our destinations: Netherlands, Hungary, Serbia, or Morocco!
A wonderful city that is mesmerized not only by wonderful houses with a rich history, but also by a magical atmosphere
Владимир, благодарим вас за столь теплый отзыв! Мы очень рады, что экскурсия вам понравилась и надеемся встретиться с вами снова в других странах, где мы организуем туры: Бельгии, Сербии, Венгрии и Марокко. До новых встреч!
Without any hesitation, we recommend taking a guided walking tour around Amsterdam centre with Anna. We considered joining a group tour but decided to do this with just the two of us. Though more expensive, of course, ours was a short visit to the city and doing it this way we felt we’d get much more out of the tour, and so it proved to be. We loved it. Anna’s deep knowledge of Amsterdam’s history was brought alive by a journey through time focussing on key figures who were instrumental in the development of the city, both economically and architecturally. Besides learning so much, we also visited places we were unlikely to find (or even find out about) without her help. Thank you Anna, you were a pleasure to be with!
Thanks a lot for your review! We are all, including Anna, very happy to hear you had a great time in Amsterdam! We hope to see you again in one of our destinations: Netherlands, Hungary, Serbia, or Morocco!
the excursion was interesting, sincere, not banal. a lot of useful information, Alexander did a great job! Thank you so much
Dear Igor, thank you very much! We hope to see you again in the Netherlands, Morocco, Serbia, Belgium, or Hungary :)
Amsterdam is full of stories. Happy, sad, spooky, funny, scary, wonderful, ironic. Some are true, many aren’t. And guides from Snurk know them all ;) Wonderful way to learn something new about this city.
Dear Maria, thanks a lot! We are very glad you joined us!
We had a wonderful experience with this company and our tour guide. Scheduling the tour was easy and convenient. The tour guide was easy to locate. Our family of four (including two teens) found this tour engaging and interesting. Alexander has a wealth of knowledge on all things Dutch. He was like a storyteller and his visual aids embellished the story. He listened to our interests and incorporated new insights we hadn’t read in the guide books. The tour flew by. He was so generous with his time and knowledge. We have taken a lot of international tours and he is one of the best guides we have ever had.
Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate it! Alexander sends warm greetings to you and your family :)
The tour was amazing. Four hours went by without notice. Special thanks to guide Katya, she talked about the city incredibly interesting, wanted to listen and listen. Thanks to the huge agency for conducting such excursions for Ukrainians.
Мы очень рады, что вам понравился город! Катя вас крепко обнимает!
If you want to have your fist time in Amsterdam pleasant and cute I will highly recommend Your Own Holland team. My trip was with Katya, charming intellectual. She has known all about history, facts, secrets of the Netherlands and has been managing with interesting legends and sense of humor. Thanks for helping to fall in love to Amsterdam)
Thank you very much! Katya hopes to see you soon again!
We really enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was very nice and friendly. We learned a lot of details about the Dutch culture and people. We were shown many interesting locations and advised where we could go on our own and what to see. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your lovely review!
Very informative tour - 2.5 hours passed in one moment. Starting from Rembrandt square we've got to know the Tuschinski cinema and its history. The modern art showroom was marvelous - unique showpieces and the coziness of the inner garden was pleasing, along with the interior and atmosphere of the restaurant. Feel very thankful to our guide Nastya for her effort. Really want to continue exploring the city.
Thank you very much! We are very glad to read those words! Nastya sends your greetings and hopes to see you again!
