The ultimate tour guide
of Amsterdam
Make the most out of your Amsterdam tour
The capital city of the Netherlands, Amsterdam, offers a blend of history, culture and modern urban flair. Known for its iconic canals, historic architecture and vibrant street life. This city promises an unforgettable experience for everyone. If you’re planning a trip, here’s a guide to help you make the most out of your Amsterdam tour.
Start with the classics
One of the best ways to see Amsterdam is by taking a canal tour. The city is home to over 100 kilometers of canals, offering a unique perspective on the city’s history and architecture. A visit to Amsterdam is incomplete without stopping by the Anne Frank House. This experience can be deeply moving, so be prepared for an emotional journey through the museum. For art enthusiasts, the Van Gogh Museum is a must-see. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours here; the collection is extensive and deserves your full attention.
Explore De Pijp: food, culture and more
De Pijp is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines. The area is famous for its street food, particularly at the Albert Cuyp Market. Taste traditional Dutch delicacies like stroopwafel or venture into international treats. The area is also filled with cozy cafes and vintage shops, making it perfect for a leisurely afternoon.
The ultimate Spirited Union tour
Humans have an innate curiosity to discover new things. There’s a distinction between discovering and learning. Learning involves repetitive practice to master a skill, something that we focus on during our experience sessions. Discovering, on the other hand, involves stumbling upon new knowledge in a fun and engaging way. That’s precisely what we offer with our distillery tour. You’ll be captivated by the stories our ambassador share about the fascinating world in which we operate. You’ll gain insights into what it takes to create a bottle of premium spirits that makes its way to high-end liquor stores. The next time you walk into a liquor store and see the array of bottles, particularly the more special editions, you’ll realize just how much effort has gone into filling each one. You may have already had an appreciation for spirits, but after our tour, it transforms into a true love affair.
A look behind-the-scenes: the distillery tour
With our distillery tour, you get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at a workin distillery. We craft our own botanical rum and gin and we’re eager to share the journey with you. During the tour, you’ll learn about the origin of our spirits, the crafting process and our unique approach to distillation. As we said before, you’ll gain a whole new perspective on these beverages. For those who usually sip on wine or beer while lounging on a terrace, the world of rum might be unexplored. It’s a beautiful and interesting world and everything comes together during the distillery tour. No need to wonder what to do in Amsterdam anymore: you’ve found your go-to activity.
Activities after the Spirited Union tour
For some, a day in Amsterdam might be complete after taking one of our tours or experiences. Others might want to explore more, and for those people, Amsterdam has a lot to offer. From vibrant nightlife to delicious dining options, there’s something for everyone. As you may have noticed, answering the question of what there is to do in Amsterdam is complex. That there’s something to do is undeniable. But with so many options available, making a choice can be more challenging than anticipated. With a visit to Spirited Union you’ll learn, discover and enjoy.

Je krijgt een fles met je eigen stooksel mee naar huis, inclusief gepersonaliseerde etiketten. Erg leuk om te doen. De cocktails die je tijdens het stoken krijgt waren ook erg smaakvol. Een heel leuke ervaring om met vrienden te doen. Wopke H2021-10-30 Een smakelijke ontdekking in de wereld van Rum Leuk team en super leuke experience in kleine desitileerderij.
