Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Elvina guided us on a great walk through the Jordaan. She knows the sights and the history of Amsterdam. She had our highest recommendation."
"Elvina provided exactly the experience we were hoping for—an authentic look at Amsterdam through the eyes of a local who genuinely loves her city. Friendly, attentive, and accommodating, she met us at our accommodation and tailored the day to our interests and needs. She carefully reviewed the places we had bookmarked, incorporating many of them while suggesting thoughtful alternatives that offered a more authentic perspective. Her local knowledge helped us avoid tourist traps and discover neighborhoods, stories, and details we would have otherwise missed. Elvina's enthusiasm for Amsterdam is contagious. She brought the city's history, culture, and daily life to life through engaging stories and insights. She was also highly mindful of my husband's mobility needs, incorporating breaks and using public transportation to minimize walking without sacrificing the experience. Most of all, Elvina genuinely cares about her guests. Her warmth, flexibility, and local expertise made for a memorable and highly personalized tour. We highly recommend her to anyone wanting to experience the real Amsterdam."
"This was my first experience with a local guide format, and I absolutely loved it. Unlike traditional tours with strict programs, the experience with Elvina felt relaxed, natural, and very personal. We could freely walk, stop, take photos, and discuss many interesting topics about the Netherlands beyond standard historical facts. Elvina is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. What I appreciated most was the positive atmosphere and genuine local feeling she created throughout the tour. It felt less like a formal excursion and more like exploring the country with a smart and kind local friend. If you want not only information, but also positive emotions, a great atmosphere, and a truly authentic local experience, I would highly recommend booking a tour with Elvina. She made this day very special and unforgettable for me."
"Such a great walk through some beautiful parts of Amsterdam. She knows so much about the area’s history and notable architecture. So nice to be able to ask questions in a way that would not have been possible with a big group tour. She loves her culture and her country and that shines though in a very positive way. "
"A great experience with Marten! We were so happy we chose Marten to guide us, he had a fabulous communication style and such pride and passion for the history of the Netherlands"
"We had a very pleasant afternoon in the Jordan district with Estella. She was very accommodating with our schedule and shared great stories about the people of the area. "
"Anna is the most knowledgeable guide we have ever had. Her background in history is unsurpassed and her pleasant demeanor adds to the wonderful experience we had on the tour. A most enjoyable and informative time. "
