Free Walking Tours In Amsterdam, All 28

The 28 free walking tours gathered here all belong to independent local guides who publish on GuruWalk. None of them is run by this site. Joining costs nothing up front: you book a place, meet the guide at the meeting point given on the walk's GuruWalk page, and afterwards you hand over whatever amount you feel the walk deserved. What this site does is lay the walks out side by side, with their neighbourhood, language and duration, so you can find the one that fits your plans without hunting through them one at a time.

Questions About Free Walking Tours In Amsterdam

Is A Free Amsterdam Walking Tour Actually Free To Join?

No booking is taken on this site. Every walk reserves on GuruWalk, where the free place is claimed before you set out, and where the guide's own page also states the meeting point and the neighbourhood each group starts from.

Can I Reserve A Free Amsterdam Walk On GuruWalk?

This site operates none of the walks and takes no bookings of its own. All 28 tours sit on GuruWalk, each one an independent guide's listing, and reservations go through the guide's page there. When a reader reserves after following a link from this directory, the site earns a referral fee from GuruWalk; the walks themselves remain entirely in the guides' hands.

What Should I Hand The Guide At The End?

Free, pay what you want is the price of every walk listed here, and that is the entire structure: no fee to join, no charge when a place is reserved, no minimum handed over at the finish. The amount a walker gives the guide at the end is entirely that walker's decision, and this site plays no part in it. Any further terms belong to each guide's own page on GuruWalk, which is where the reservation itself is made.

Do The Guides Earn From These Walks?

This site sells nothing and operates none of the walks it lists. Each belongs to an independent local guide, and each is free, pay what you want, reserved on GuruWalk. Reserving a walk through a link on this site earns it a referral fee, at no extra cost to the reader.
