Amsterdam & the Royal family

Amsterdam & the Royal Family

We will pick you up under the statue of Queen Wilhelmina on the Rokin, walk along the Begijnhof, Dam square, Westerkerk and end in the Jordaan where the tour will finish.

We will not be returning to the starting point. Every Thursday at 3 pm till 5 pm, a great walking tour about Amsterdam its history and the Dutch Royal family. The group is always small and you will get a guide that is passionate about Amsterdam and the topic of the tour.

Be prepared to be immersed into Dutch history and go away loving Amsterdam and wanting to come back again and again.We will walk along important landmarks such as the Palace on Dam Square and Westerkerk, where Queen Beatrix got married. Amsterdammers cheered for the royals dressed in orange, though the family has also been booed at times. And who knew that the first Dutch King was a Frenchman?

Since the time it was a Republic in the 17th Century, Amsterdam has always had a mixed and special relationship with the Orange-Nassau family. 200 years, 4 kings and 4 queens. 400 year the Orange-Nassau family and the The Netherlands. Political murder, jewelery robbery, bi-sexuality, illigitimate children, independence war.
