SANDEMANs New Europe - Amsterdam
About
SANDEMANs New Europe in Amsterdam turns the city’s famed canal streets, rich history, and vibrant culture into an unforgettable experience through a range of free and paid tours. Our flagship 2‑hour Free Walking Tour, hosted every weekday and weekend, takes guests on a tips‑based journey from the iconic National Monument in Dam Square, past the city’s celebrated canal alignments, to the historic Dutch East India Company sites and the poignant Jewish Quarter. Presented by locally sourced guides who weave stories of trade, intrigue, and contemporary Dutch life into each stop, it serves as a lively introduction to Amsterdam for everyone. For those who prefer the local way of travel, our two‑hour Amsterdam City Bike Tour offers a pedal‑powered perspective. The tour departs from the Sea Palace restaurant, Oosterdokskade 8, and whisks riders through scenic canals, iconic landmarks such as the Rijksmuseum and the Heineken Brewery, and hidden gems like Vondelpark and the NEMO Science Museum. MacBike‑rented bicycles are included, and guides highlight both well‑known sites and lesser‑known treasures. SANDEMANs tours run rain, hail, or shine. Both the free walking and bike tours are available upon arrival or via online booking, with English and Spanish guides ready to cater to a broad audience. Bookings can be made easily through the SANDEMANs Amsterdam page. Whether you’re a family, a history fanatic, a culture lover, or a solo explorer, our tours offer a flexible, engaging way to see Amsterdam in its full diversity.
