Local Hosts, authentic bohemian sub-cultural events
All of ‘Amsterdams.Tours’: The Real Deal with Local Hosts
Amsterdams.Tours • Private Hosted Amsterdam
Not sightseeing. Entering the city properly.
We are not city guides. We are there with you on the adventure.
Amsterdams.Tours is for visitors who want more than landmarks and lists. Kate and Luc host you inside the living Amsterdam: canal beauty, café culture, strange corners, hidden rooms, underground nights, hippy gatherings, back-door places, living-room concerts, beach drum circles, and the moments that never appear in the usual version of the city.
Some days are elegant and beautiful. Some turn bohemian, social, and spontaneous. Some slip into music, mischief, underground energy, and the unofficial side of Amsterdam. We shape around chemistry, mood, weather, curiosity, and whatever kind of story wants to happen.
Amsterdam is easy to visit and surprisingly hard to enter well. Too many people spend their time in the obvious version of the city: crowded recommendations, average stops, tourist flow, and places that look better online than they feel in real life. Go real, go deep, live Amsterdams.Tours! Contact us for group size and budget.
We work differently. We privately host foreign visitors in groups of 1 to 6 and build around atmosphere rather than checklist tourism. We participate. We co-create the fun. That can mean museum calm, canal boat tours or wandering, hidden courtyards, beautiful lunches, and coffee in the sun. It can also mean strange bars, free-spirited gatherings on the beach, after-hours culture, underground raves you won’t believe, intimate music, or a side-door invitation into something unexpected.
The point is not to race through Amsterdam. The point is to let it open — with the right people, the right timing, and the right mood around you. Amsterdams.Tours are a custom fit.

The offering is us
Our product is not a route. It is our presence, our eye, our taste, our social intelligence, our local depth, and the atmosphere we create around you.
Why us together
Kate and Luc have been friends for over 20 years. Together they bring a rare combination: polished and free-spirited, socially fluent and unconventional, worldly and warm, elegant and slightly wild.
From corporate life to liberated counterculture, from polished restaurants to strange side streets, from museum calm to late-night intensity — we know how to move between worlds. That range is what gives our guests access to a richer Amsterdam.
What kind of experience this can become
No two bookings need to look the same. We prefer custom-planned days and nights, built around personality, chemistry, and appetite for discovery.
Beautiful Amsterdam
Canal wandering, hidden courtyards, architecture, museums, elegant cafés, scenic parks, quiet luxury, long conversation, and places with aesthetic soul.
Bohemian Amsterdam
Offbeat neighborhoods, artistic corners, markets, strange little discoveries, free-spirited cafés, local color, water views, and a looser, more playful rhythm.
After Dark
Character bars, intimate corners, music, nightlife, clubs, dancing, coffee shops, hidden scenes, and a curated route through the city’s evening energy.
Watch tip for visitors to Amsterdam. We know where the techno beats are, and also the beach drum circles. The big dance events but also the forest concerts. From an Heineken Experience we’d rather see Amsterdam’s Brouwerij ‘t IJ. From the best smart-shop to coffeeshop and the difference between them.
