Experience tomorrow the best of
Amsterdam with Withlocals

"Five stars across the board! Jan was an exceptional guide during our visit to Amsterdam. He picked us up right from our hotel and spent the day driving us around in his private car, which was spotlessly clean and comfortable — a real treat compared to crowded tour buses. We visited Keukenhof, where the tulips were just starting to bloom, and then drove through several small towns where Jan explained how the Dutch reclaimed land from the sea — fascinating stuff. We also made it out to the windmills at Zaanse Schans, just outside Amsterdam. Throughout the day, Jan never rushed us and kept everything perfectly on schedule without it ever feeling rigid. What really set him apart were the little extras — recommendations on what to see and do when we were exploring on our own, the kind of local knowledge you just can't get from a guidebook. On top of that, we booked on short notice and he rearranged his schedule to fit us in without hesitation. We'll absolutely be booking with Jan again on our next trip to Amsterdam. Highly recommended!"

"Olga was spectacular! She not only showed us the hidden gems but really knew the history. I’ve done a lot of tours throughout the world but really enjoyed this one! "

"Marten was an excellent host—flexible, accommodating our last-minute schedule change, and incredibly warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. He made us feel very welcome from the start. The food tour was both entertaining and informative, with great stories that kept both our kids (11 and 13) and the adults engaged. We loved sampling a variety of foods at Amsterdam’s main market, and the historical context Marten shared made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend!"

"Tommi created a customized walking tour of Amsterdam for our family, which was a blend of history and food. He told stories that kept our 5 and 9 year old interested and motivated to walk for the three hours together. We all learned new things and very much enjoyed our afternoon with Tommi. "

"Such a great time. He was informative not just from an art history perspective but also put Dutch history into the tour. We loved it "

"Joram is a fun guy and incredibly interesting person to hang out and explore Amsterdam with. He’s extremely knowledgeable about everything and has his own history that’s a tour of its own. We did the red light + “coffee shop” tour and have near local knowledge on the best places to go thanks to Joram. "

"Did the red lights district and coffee shop tour with with Joe and would highly recommend him. A friendly, knowledgable guy who taught us a lot about the history of the city as well as helping us to plan the rest of our stay. We enjoyed our 2 hours with Joe. "

"Olga is a wealth of knowledge about Amsterdam. She shared history, legends, hidden spots for food and drink, and explained the architecture of the city. I was passing through on a long layover, and this tour was a perfect way to familiarize myself with a new city. And, she makes it feel like walking with a friend. I highly recommend her and this experience! "

"My family (husband & sons aged 17 & 19) and I spent a fabulous few hours with Tommi last week touring the hidden gems of Amsterdam. We specified our interests as unique aspects of history, architecture & culture and were not disappointed. Highly recommend as an efficient and enjoyable way to gain an alternate view of the city, beyond the usual tourist sites. We covered a lot of ground walking and via train/ tram, and ventured to parts of the city we would otherwise not thought to have seen. My sons and husband - a relatively tough crowd - were thoroughly engrossed and we all came away having learned something new and interesting. Tommi is extremely enthusiastic and passionate about his city, which made our tour extremely worthwhile. Highly recommend! Note: The cost of transport tickets and lunch is on top of the ticket price which we hadn’t really thought about but didn’t bother us (mentioning as may concern some). "

"I’ll be honest, I was a little worried a private tour could be awkward as a solo traveller but my concerns ended up being silly and I’m so happy to have spent the afternoon on a tour with Olga. Olga is the kind of local that just really loves her city, not because it’s perfect but because of has history and spirit and culture, and she really clearly enjoys sharing that in her tour. Right when I booked Olga reached out to offer any help I might need and she came through with some phenomenal bakery and bookstore recommendations for me. We met In a central spot and walked most of the old city, stopping every few minutes to see or learn something I never would’ve noticed otherwise—so many hidden gems in AMS! We chatted along the route and even swapped some travel stories. I took notes on everywhere I want to go back to and I already know I need another trip to AMS, which will definitely include another tour with Olga!"
