HISTORICAL WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE WALKING TOUR THROUGH AMSTERDAM – APPROX. 4 HOURS

About this wheelchair accessible historical walking tour through Amsterdam

Visit Amsterdam’s historic highlights on a private walking/rolling tour designed for wheelchair users. Along the way, your local guide shares the stories behind the city’s development, architecture, and infrastructure and how Amsterdam grew into the capital of the Netherlands.

Dam Square

Your private guide picks you up at your hotel in Amsterdam city center or directly at the cruise port and introduces the neighborhoods and landmarks you’ll see along the route.

Located just a short distance from Central Station, Dam Square is one of Amsterdam’s most famous and historic public places and serves as the heart of the city. Dam Square is largely flat and paved, making it generally accessible for wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

During the tour, you will have time for a coffee and maybe even a typical Dutch snack like a stroopwafel in between the historical stops.

Begijnhof and ‘t Spui

The tour passes along Amsterdam’s famous canals, known for their 17th-century bridges and typical canal houses. Your local guide will explain the history of the canals, why they were built, and how they shaped the city.

You’ll also pass through Begijnhof and ‘t Spui. Begijnhof is the only medieval courtyard in Amsterdam, and ‘t Spui is a lively area with many restaurants, cafés, and old bookstores.

Nieuwmarkt

The tour continues to Nieuwmarkt, where you’ll see De Waag, a beautiful 15th-century building in the heart of the city. It was first built as a city gate and later served many other functions, including as a guild house, museum, and fire station. Today, De Waag is open as a restaurant.

When ending the tour, your private guide brings you back to your accommodation in Amsterdam or the cruise port.
