Meet your private tour guide at 10 AM and depart on a journey where history, art, and culture intertwine seamlessly on this exclusive 7-hour private tour experience in Amsterdam's Jordaan neighborhood and the renowned Rijksmuseum.
Our journey begins at the heart of this picturesque city, where every cobblestone tells a story and every canal reflects centuries of heritage. As you embark on this enchanting exploration, our expert guide, well-versed in the art of storytelling, will be your companion through the charming Jordaan neighborhood. Navigating the narrow streets, we'll discover the Negen Straatjes, or "Nine Streets," a collection of cobblestone lanes lined with boutique shops, hidden cafes, and contemporary galleries. Here, you'll feel the essence of Amsterdam's unique blend of culture and lifestyle.
Continuing our journey, we delve into the secrets of the Hofjes, hidden courtyards surrounded by historic almshouses. These tranquil oases offer a glimpse into the lives of Amsterdam's past residents, providing a sense of the city's rich history.
Our next stop is the towering Westerkerk, whose iconic spire graces the Amsterdam skyline. As we admire its grandeur, our guide will recount tales of the famous Dutch painter Rembrandt, who was buried nearby, and the melodic chimes of the church's carillon.
The peaceful and serene atmosphere of De Begijnhof awaits us, a hidden courtyard surrounded by charming houses and a tranquil garden. Stepping inside, you'll feel as if you've been transported back in time to a place where simplicity and spirituality converge.
The journey continues along the enchanting Spiegelgracht, where antique shops line the canal, offering treasures from the past. Our guide will share insights into Amsterdam's history of trade and craftsmanship, adding depth to your experience.
And now, the crowning jewel of our tour - the Rijksmuseum. This world-renowned institution houses a vast collection of Dutch Golden Age masterpieces, including works by Vermeer, Rembrandt, and many more. Your guide will lead you through the museum's magnificent galleries, revealing the stories behind these artistic treasures. Then, you will return to your hotel by 5 PM.
Our itinerary will feature an exclusive guided exploration of the exclusive exhibition dedicated to Frans Hals. In the Netherlands' Golden Age, Hals distinguished himself as a pioneering master, leaving an enduring legacy not only in his brushwork but also in his audacious and authentic approach to portraiture (until 09th June 2024). AT the end of your tour, say goodbye to your guide and have the rest of the day at leisure.
