As such a low season does not happen in Amsterdam, but a slight decrease in prices for tours to the capital of the Netherlands is observed in early March, November, winter months (with the exception of holidays).
On a note!
Due to unpredictable weather, it is worth carrying an umbrella when hiking, and a raincoat when cycling. If you plan to actively move around the city and visit attractions, it makes sense to get a special card that gives you the right to visit museums and travel by public transport at a discount (you can buy it at the VVV tourist information offices).
Going to shop? Better to devote the first half of the day to shopping (there are a lot of people on the shopping streets in the afternoon).
