Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Christa gave us an amazing tour of the windmill village and Edam. Different places than the normal tours. She has a wealth of information and a love of the area. "
"Christa shared a bit of her life in Amsterdam, which was very interesting for my grandchildren and me. We loved the visit to the village with the amazing windmills. We had no idea how large they are and their many uses. We sampled delicious cheese in Edam. We would love to have Christa guide us again."
"Christa is great! We enjoyed our day visiting the wind mills and the village of Edam. She has wealth of knowledge that she shares during conversations while visiting the different locations. We saw and learned much. Highly recommend!"
"Christa was extremely pleasant and personal. I particularly like the fact that she was able to pick us up right at the ship terminal and leave us off there. This driving feature was not available for many of your other Withlocals in addition to seeing Amsterdam we were interested in seeing part of the countryside the Netherlands itself and this can only be done in a car. In the city, we did a long walking tour and saw virtually every site and I found Christa quite knowledgeable and helpful"

The star of any Edam day trip is its world-famous cheese! Mild, savory, and instantly recognizable by its red wax coating. Taste the authentic flavor in its hometown for a truly delicious memory.
In summer, the Edam Cheese Market comes to life. It’s a wonderful re-enactment of the old trading days, with farmers and cheese bearers in traditional costume. A cultural highlight for your Edam day trip!

"We booked a tour by car with Christa and had a wonderful time! She picked us up from out hotel promptly and took drove us to Zaanse Schans and Edam. She shared some history and interesting facts on the way, then showed us to her favourite spots once we arrived. Christa was friendly, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about local history - it was like talking to an old friend. Our time together ended too soon and I am sorry we had something booked later that afternoon, because she had wanted to take us to one more stop. After our tour, she shared some local recommendations for sight seeing and places to eat, which was helpful and appreciated. You won't be sorry if you pick Christa! "
"Christa, es una gran guía, va dando explicaciones todo el camino y también se abordan diversos temas con ella."
"Christa picked us up promptly at our hotel in her spotless clean and comfortable car. Soon after leaving the hotel parking lot, Christa began telling us historical facts about the city where we were staying. As she drove, she continued providing information about the farmland and villages we were driving through. We planned to go see the historic windmills in Zaanse Schanse. Christa is well informed of the history and survival of these beautiful working pieces of architecture and is very happy to share her knowledge. Additionally, she has a deep, fluent understanding of Dutch historical culture and the Dutch people. During our time with Christa, we found her to be thoughtful and compassionate, knowledgeable and articulate, having excellent English. We also enjoyed our time with her in a very fun and relaxed atmosphere. This is likely because Christa loves what she does and enjoys sharing her knowledge with others. We give Christa 10 out of 10 hearts and are so happy we got to spend the day with her. "
"Merci Christa ! Belle découverte d'Amsterdam avec une dame du coin "
"Christa was flexible in how our tour developed because of venues we wished to visit. She was quite knowledgeable about the Netherlands and easy to understand. She was always willing to try something different to based on our requests."
"Christa gave us a great tour in her old Jaguar, seeing the Wind Mils and more. Good knowledge, humor and we didn't hit any bicyckles :-) "
