    High Energy and Interesting!

    "Marten customized a tour for us - he met us at the Anne Frank house and walked us to the Riks museum, giving us a sense of Amsterdam history and culture. Then he guided us through the Riks so we saw some of the most important pieces. It’s such a huge museum that we would have just wandered around aimlessly! We also included a coffee and apple pie stop in our time together - it was great day. Don’t hesitate to book Marten when you are in Amsterdam. "

    Lovely tour!

    "We had such a lovely time touring Amsterdam with Tommi. As a native, he's full of stories and lore about the city he clearly loves. We stopped at the usual sites, but we also visited some off the beaten track spots including an old summer mansion inside a park outside the city center where we had a charming lunch followed by a walk around a delightful village. We will remember the experience fondly and would encourage anyone to book Tommi for walking tour! "

    Phenomenal tour of Amsterdam with Anna

    "My daughter and I were visiting the Netherlands for the first time for her 21st birthday. Anna was engaging and so knowledgeable about Amsterdam and its history. If we were staying another day, we would have also hired her for a guided tour of the Rijksmuseum, too. Thanks so much, Anna!"

    A new friend!

    "Our food tour with Marten was one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam! From the moment we met him, he made us feel less like tourists and more like family. He has an incredible knowledge of Amsterdam’s history, culture, and food scene, and he shared it in such a fun, engaging, and personable way. The food selections were outstanding—every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and gave us a genuine taste of the city. Dutch apple pie and poffertjes were just some of the highlights for our family of 5! Marten’s passion for Amsterdam is contagious, and his warm personality made the experience enjoyable for everyone in our group. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely fun to spend time with, Marten is the perfect choice. We left feeling like we had spent the afternoon with a local friend while enjoying some of the best food Amsterdam has to offer. Found us the true local gems not the tourist traps which was invaluable, Highly recommend!"

    Highly recommend!

    "After 5 minutes of Annet’s walking tour, I started to feel like I had just reconnected with an old friend. She is so personable and easygoing, I almost forgot I was on a tour. We seamlessly walked through several neighborhoods, all the while, being taught some history, culture and getting a glimpse of everyday life in Amsterdam. Aware of my tight timeframe, Annet completed our tour in front of my hotel."

    Rolf Sets the Bar High!

    "Rolf was a superb tour guide. Incredibly knowledgeable about art and exceptionally personable, he gave one of the best possible museum tours! He even brought a walking chair for my mother so she could sit occasionally as Rolf offered numerous insights on various pieces of art. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the Rijksmuseum!"
