Explore Amsterdam's canals on iconic Flower Bikes

Join me, a local community fixture known as Flower Bike Man, or one of our passionate guides, for a magical cycling tour of Amsterdam’s best-kept secrets. • We’ll meet in the city center, where I’ll share the heartfelt story behind the flower bikes before you choose your colorful ride and we hit the road. • Then we’ll set off on our tour, which will take us pedaling along Amsterdam’s iconic canals, quiet courtyards, and lesser-known streets as we take in sights like the Jordaan district, Anne Frank house, and Museum square along the way. • Throughout our ride, I’ll share some of my favorite stories, dish on local history, and let you in on the inspiration behind some of my creations. By the time we hop off our bikes, you’ll be left with a deeper connection to Amsterdam, and the joy of experiencing this city’s beauty from a perspective that can’t be beat.

The history of Amsterdam & Netherlands through a beer glass

Join me, a beer sommelier, for an immersive 3 hour dive into Dutch beer culture and history with a pub crawl through Amsterdam’s Old Town to uncover how beer shaped Dutch history—from medieval times to the modern craft beer revolution. • We will meet in Dam Square right in front of The Royal Palace and then take a 5 minute walk to our first venue. • Our first stop will be De Pilsener Club, a cozy traditional bar that opened in 1893. Sip a classic beer as I explain beer’s impact on trade from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. • Next, head to the tasting room at In De Wildeman to enjoy a carefully chosen beer from the selection of 18 on tap and 250-plus in bottles. I’ll discuss the effects of the Industrial Revolution on commercial brewing. • Wrap up with a locally brewed craft beer at Proeflokaal Arendsnest, which has more than 50 Dutch beers on tap and more than 100 types in bottles. As we reflect on how beer styles have evolved for modern palates, you’ll leave with suggestions for more places to drink good beer in Amsterdam.

Paint canalside botanicals with a local artist

Take inspiration from the interplay between nature and urban architecture along Amsterdam’s canals for an immersive painting session in which you’ll translate the beauty of your surroundings onto canvas. • Walk the city’s streets, taking in the canal-side scenery and learning to see the micro and macro details in nature and architecture. I’ll break down how light, shadow, and color create depth. • At easels set up along the Amstel Canal, use pencil, charcoal, or crayon to sketch organic (plants, trees, reflections) and structural (buildings, bridges, boats) elements, as well as their poetic interplay. I’ll offer guidance throughout. • Experiment with movement techniques, refining how your hand translates what you see. Try color layering, light mixing, and contouring to bring depth and emotion to your scene. We’ll gather to admire each other’s creations, share insights, and discuss techniques that resonated most. You’ll leave with your completed artwork and the confidence to continue exploring botanical art.

A Curated Walk Through Amsterdam’s Art Galleries

Forget the crowded museums and postcard-perfect canals—this curated 2.5-hour experience takes you into the beating heart of Amsterdam’s contemporary art world. In the historic Jordaan district, where old-world charm meets cutting-edge creativity, we’ll go inside some of the city’s boldest exhibitions. • We’ll have VIP access to some of Amsterdam’s top galleries, including TORCH Gallery, Galerie Bart, and Stevenson Amsterdam, each a distinct platform for emerging talent and globally influential artists pushing the boundaries of contemporary expression. • Go beyond surface-level observations with discussions on artistic intent, cultural commentary, and the evolving landscape of Dutch contemporary art. • Walk through the historic, art-infused Jordaan neighborhood, uncovering hidden gems, street art, and the creative spaces shaping Amsterdam’s modern identity. • For the final stop, step inside the Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht, a hotel that doubles as an art space, designed by Dutch visionary Marcel Wanders. Enjoy a drink while soaking in its bold interiors, oversized sculptures, and unexpected artistic details. Expect to leave not only inspired but also with a fresh perspective on how such artistry continues to influence the culture of Amsterdam and the world beyond.

Dutch cocktail workshop at Bols Cocktail Experience

Learn the art of mixology in this hands-on class—a chance to shake and stir your own cocktail at the Bols Cocktail Experience in Amsterdam. • You'll be guided through a curated tasting of Bols liqueurs and genevers (gin-like spirits made of malt wine and juniper) as I explain their flavor profiles, aromas, and uses in classic and modern cocktails. • As an expert mixologist, I’ll demonstrate cocktail-making techniques and teach you how to balance flavors using the distillery’s Amsterdam-inspired menu. You'll practice using different ingredients, garnishes, and glassware for your drinks. • Best of all, you'll get to craft your own signature cocktail using Bols spirits and seasonal ingredients. Cheers! You'll leave with a deeper knowledge of mixology and cocktail trends, as well as a custom-made goodie bag filled with special surprises to help continue your cocktail journey at home.
