BICYCLE TOURS No stay in Amsterdam would be complete without partaking in a cycle tour. Amsterdam is famous for its cyclists with about one million of them in Amsterdam alone. This is an original and ideal way to really get a taste of life in Amsterdam and discover many places which are inaccessible by car. Breaks & Butlers will happily reserve bikes and tours for one or more persons. CITY WALKS Another fun way to see Amsterdam is by booking a "city walk" with a qualified tour guide. They can point out the many historical and interesting facts surrounding the buildings on the canals, for example, the different types of gables and courtyards. You can choose from the following tours: - Old Town (about 2 to 2 ˝ hours) - Jordaan area (about 2 to 3 hours) - Jewish History of Amsterdam (about 2 to 3 hours) - "Zwerftocht" or "Rambling Tour", where the guide takes you to less well known places of interest in the city. Tours take place daily between Tuesday and Sunday from 11.00 onwards. WANDELDAGEN "MEE IN MOKUM" Mokum is the original word for Amsterdam, so literally translated this means "Walking days in Amsterdam". The "Mee in Mokum" tours take place daily from Monday to Friday between 13.00 and 16.00 hrs. It is recommended to get there 15 minutes prior to the tour beginning. The tour leaves from the David and Goliath Restaurant in Amsterdam, in the Amsterdam Historical Museum at 92 Kalverstraat. The walking tours cost around € 3 per person. We ask you to book in advance.
