About this activity
Enjoy an exclusive tour of Amsterdam that engages all of your senses as you take a historic tram ride through the highlights of the city. Start your tour off at the Amsterdam Royal Palace, where you will step onto a 1930s tram, one of the 80 orginal blue tram wagons that transported people around the streets of Amsterdam in the mid-1900s. The tram will 'come to life' as it narrates your tour, sharing with you all the sights and sounds of that it would have seen when it was in operation. Sharing facts and anecdotes dating back to the 1600s, your tram tour guide weaves history into an entertaining and humorous narrative. 
The tram will take you through Amsterdam's unique neighbourhoods and alongside historic monuments. Ride by the renowned West Church hearing the chimes of the famous clock tower. Pass through one of the largest market areas of the early 19th century, while you hear the hustle and bustle of the merchants, locals, stable owners and wheelwrights who would have been there a century ago. Ride through the Museum Quarter, where the work of the greatest Dutch artists, including Rembrandt and Van Gogh are displayed. Your tour will then take you to the Olympic Stadium, home to the 1928 Olympic Games. 
With the monuments you see and the history you learn, you will feel a sense of connection with Dutch heritage and culture. But what better way to experience a culture than through something that every country takes pride in - their local cuisine! If you choose this option, the halfway point of your tour will include a visit to 'Het Amsterdamse Proeflokaal', that is a taste of Amsterdam. A movie showing the gastronomic history of the city will have your mouth watering, just in time for you to sample and sip some of the best that Dutch cuisine has to offer. 
The historic tram tour will continue to take you through one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods of Amsterdam, where you can admire the luxurious homes and storefronts. You will get to see various parts of the Canal Ring on your tour and learn about the incredible planning that went into developing this network of canals, which is now on the UNESCO World Heritage List. 
At the end of your historic tram journey, your senses will be filled with the sights, sounds and flavours of Amsterdam; your cameras will be filled with shots of iconic buildings and candid photos of Amsterdam life; and your mind will be filled with stories of the rich history and culture of the Netherlands.
