Tours in Amsterdam
The architecture and urban design of Amsterdam are closely tied to the city’s relationship with water. From its historic baroque canal district to newly created island neighborhoods, the Dutch capital has long been a laboratory for forward-thinking solutions to urban challenges. Projects along the city’s waterfronts exemplify its tradition of reclaiming land, converting harbors, and experimenting with new forms of housing — both on land and on the water.
Today, Amsterdam continues to develop as a smart and resilient city. Sustainability, a shift towards greener mobility, and affordable housing initiatives are at the forefront of its planning strategies. Join us and explore one of Europe’s most insightful urban environments.

Architecture Tours in Amsterdam
“I particularly liked the folders the guide carried with her with the pictures and maps, because it really helped her presentation and helped us to follow along. I know many students are still talking about Houthavens and what they learned during the tour, so it was a success.”
Ekta Thawani, Council on International Educational Exchange, Amsterdam
“The guides were great, and so was the programme. It has been a pleasure to work with you.
