Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Elvina was very professional and very willing to help us experience the smaller communities. She was always asking questions and listing to our input. "
"Anna was on time, she was actually early. She knew the history of her city and the area. She was pleasant and made our day very enjoyable. She helped us to store our luggage at the train station, which made touring much more pleasant. We would use Anna again if we return to Amsterdam."
"If we could have requested the most knowledgeable (historical, current trends, political reasons and why it all fits to make Holland work today) guide we picked a winner in Marten. He couldn't have been more personable, knowledgeable and an extremely able communicator. We felt like old friends chatting about everything from our first handshake to our last goodbye. We never felt rushed or hurried and learned so much in such an easy and understandable way from a really nice guy. Our tour was to a small city outside of Amsterdam and we really loved the whole experience he provided. I've already recommended Withlocals to some other travelers. "
"We booked three tours with Ente, and are glad we did. He is a great guy, with a passion for Amsterdam and its history. We enjoyed learning about the traditions and architecture of the area. My primary interest for the tours was photography-oriented, but I found myself setting that aside so I could listen to Ente and learn about Amsterdam's interesting past. Overall, I highly recommend Ente's tours. You won't be disappointed. "

Escape the city's rhythm for a day and step into a fairytale. A private Marken Day Trip from Amsterdam is your chance to explore a timeless Dutch village of wooden houses and waterfront traditions with a local expert.
For centuries, Marken was a secluded island in the Zuiderzee. This isolation cultivated a unique, self-sufficient culture. A causeway built in 1957 finally connected it to the mainland, but its enchanting island soul remains.
The most iconic part of your Marken Day Trip are the charming wooden houses, often painted dark green and black. Built on man-made mounds called 'werven', they were designed to protect residents from the frequent floods.
Experience true Dutch culture on your Marken Day Trip by visiting the local clog factory. Watch a craftsman transform a block of wood into the iconic Dutch footwear. It is a fascinating tradition you can witness firsthand.
No Marken Day Trip is complete without seeing the famous lighthouse, the 'Paard van Marken' (Horse of Marken). This stunning 19th-century structure stands guard at the edge of the peninsula, offering breathtaking views.
While exploring on your day trip, indulge in local flavors. Ask your guide about freshly smoked eel or herring from the local smokehouses. It's an authentic taste of the old Zuiderzee fishing culture.
