After clearing customs, meet your driver in the arrival hall, who will take you to your centrally located Amsterdam hotel. The rest of the day is at leisure so either relax or start exploring, today is a perfect day to get accustomed to the city and its main attractions. Amsterdam has an excellent network of trams and busses that you can use to get around. We suggest you begin your day's activities with a visit to the Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands. The completely renovated Rijksmuseum tells the story of the Netherlands from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. Including works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Franz Hals, and more! Maybe find a cozy café for lunch and then walk to the Anne Frank House Museum. Visit the hiding place where Anne Frank wrote her diary during the Second World War. For more than two years, Anne Frank lived secretively with the other people in hiding in the back part of her father's office building. For dinner, we suggest that you head for Leidseplein, the center of nightlife, where you can choose from hundreds of bars, clubs and restaurants.

Begin your adventure by using your Canal Bus Pass to get an overview of the city from the canals. Your Pass is good on four different routes of the Canal Bus, which allows you to hop-on/hop-off at any of 19 stops located close to museums, attractions, and shopping venues. Your Pass also includes entrance into the Rijksmuseum, a must see in Amsterdam famous for paintings by Dutch masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Frans Hals.

This evening, experience Amsterdam's traditional pub culture with a local! You'll meet your guide at a designated location and spend approximately 2 hours walking around a city center neighborhood. Beyond the breweries and coffee shops that Amsterdam is known for there are many charming pubs tucked in the corners of the historic city center. These pubs are frequented mostly by the locals and not by tourists, giving you an authentic experience. You'll learn not only about the history of Amsterdam and the daily life of the Dutch, but also the history of Dutch beer brands and their local spirit Jenever (also known as Dutch gin). You'll visit two local pubs and have two drinks at each pub (your choice of local beer, wine, soft drink or a local spirit).

After the walking tour your guide will escort you to a local restaurant and leave you there to enjoy a 3-course dinner with choices for a starter, main dish, and dessert. The restaurant is located near the Centraal rail station for easy access to the trams to get back to your hotel, or if it's a lovely evening you can enjoy a stroll along the various canals.
