    Fun, off-the-beaten-path look at Amsterdam

    "Elvina took us off the typical tourist trail to discover some fantastic local spots in Amsterdam. We took the free ferry over to the arts district in Amsterdam Noord for ice cream, explored the lovely Jordaan neighborhood over traditional Dutch beer and snacks, and visited Brouwerij 't IJ, the brewery set right next to the iconic windmill. She introduced us to unique areas we wouldn't have found on our own and even made sure we made it safely to the right bus stop back to our hotel. It was a great way to see a different, more local side of the city!"

    Koby about Annet

    "Our walking tour with Annet was one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. Instead of just visiting the famous sights, she took us through hidden streets, quiet courtyards, and fascinating places we would never have found on our own. Her deep knowledge of Amsterdam’s history and culture brought the city to life, with stories and insights that made every stop memorable. On top of being an outstanding guide, Annet is also an excellent photographer. She knew exactly where to stop for beautiful photos and was happy to help us capture some wonderful memories of our trip. If you’re looking for an authentic, informative, and enjoyable tour that goes beyond the typical tourist experience, I highly recommend Annet. She is warm, engaging, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about sharing her city."

    Sonya about Anne

    "Anne was an excellent communicator, from the minute we booked all the way up until or rendezvous. We had discussed a a few ideas on how to maximize seeing the sights around the Noord area and she suggested a bike ride! We were all for it. Fast forward to the booking and I had neglected to rent a bike in a timely manner and although we secured one’s, it felt like a stressful start to my husband and I, but NOT to Anne! She was great! She rolled with the punches, adjusted the plan, checked in on our itinerary throughout, and still showed us a great deal of her well intentioned, very peaceful side of Amsterdam. She also showed us some of the coolest spots for a drink (stopped twice) and a delish dinner that we would have never thought of on our own. Rough start for us, smooth transition into a magical few hours with Anne. What a great way to end our trip in Amsterdam. Would definitely recommend. "

    Hidden Gems of Amsterdam

    "The best tour I have been on. We were shown things that were not in any guide books or on the Web, and the knowledge Elise had was excellent. We saw the side of Amsterdam I would never had known was there. Free ferry rides we never knew about so you could travel to 3 different areas at no cost. A great tour ending at the old ship yards with the best graffiti we had ever seen, and all allowed. Great area to see Thank you Elise for making our holiday memories that will last a life time. "

    From tour guide to friend

    "Having already been on a tour with Sebastian in 2019 we returned to Amsterdam in 2024 with the intention of seeing Sebastian again. He is wonderful! Sebastian led us on a personalized tour of Haarlem this year, through the markets, shops and sights. Sebastian is more than a tour guide to us, he has become a friend with whom we shall remain in touch. I highly recommend him. Sebastian’s knowledge of the Amsterdam area is unmatched and you are sure to enjoy his personality and unique charm. We look forward to seeing him again in the future! "
