Herengracht Tour

Herengracht isn’t just another picturesque canal—it was built as the grandest address in Amsterdam, reserved for the city's wealthiest and most influential residents. But behind these elegant facades lie secrets, scandals, and stories you won’t find in the guidebooks. Did you know that the city's mayors once received their lavish residence as a bribe or how one person had to change their name to live in one of the houses? We’ll explore the hidden side of Herengracht, from mysterious old numbering systems to the most expensive hotel in the city, seeing 5 centuries of architecture in one walk. This tour is for those who already love Amsterdam but want to see it through fresh eyes. No generic stories, no tourist traps—just fascinating history, hidden gems, and the kind of details only locals know.
