Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Anne was the perfect guide for us. I’d been to Amsterdam several times, but it was my husband’s first visit. We toured our first morning in the city. We were interested in the history of Amsterdam and its culture. For the most part, we didn’t care about the greatest hits. Anne started us in the oldest part of the city. It was interesting and she related the stories to what we see today. All morning, we saw things I’d never seen before. Anne is an artist and a storyteller and everything intertwined. She related the history of Amsterdam to her personal life today. I can’t imagine a better tour guide!"
"Mayra provided a great tour, avoiding touristy places and showing the real Amsterdam. She accounted for our diet limitations and gave an excellent collection of stops."
"I and my wife have used this service in another country and we trusted them to use them again. Our tour guide Annet was very knowledgeable and very informative. She even gave us tips for our future return to Holland. She is also an experienced photographer and gave us great tips and locations for photo locations . As far as I and my wife are concerned it was worth every penny. Can you imagine going to a place and not have someone help you with good advice. It was just three hours and it was a wealth of information. Thank you so much Annet. "
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Amsterdam, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Amsterdam spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Amsterdam.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Amsterdam, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Amsterdam awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Amsterdam, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Amsterdam. Get ready to explore like a local!

"A very interesting and insightful city tour with our guide, Anne. It was a tremendous enrichment for our group to be able to explore this enchanting city of Amsterdam with someone who not only shared her insider knowledge, but also made the tour fly by with her friendly demeanor! It was one of those tours I'll remember for a long time and once again confirmed the success of the "With Locals" concept! Thanks for everything - Klaus"
"Anna is a very knowledgeable person and always open to hear about the interest of her clients. Thank you Anna. We enjoyed our visit very much "
"Kawika was an excellent tour guide! He shared lots of history and interesting stories with us while we toured. He answered all our questions and showed us things we wouldn’t have found on our own. He also gave us great suggestions on other sights to see and things to do. We highly recommend touring with Kawika!"
"We had a great time with Anna at the Rijksmuseum. My friend and I have been there many times, so Anna customized our tour to focus on unique things that we haven't seen before or that we wanted to learn more about. Our two hours went by so quickly! We will definitely book again to explore areas of the museum we wish to learn about more in depth. Thank you Anna!"
"Willem made sure to show me the local haunts he knew about and showed me items I wanted to see: local markets, parks, and neighborhoods. He shared tidbits about Amsterdam - skinny bridge where Diamonds are Forever movie/James Bond/ 1971 was filmed, old Jewish quarter where the poor souls were rounded up to be sent to concentrarion camps, and lighter experiences like fries with truffle msyo. Yum. A very pleasant experence. I highly recommend Willem. "
"Sebastian was a great fun guide and showed us how Amsterdam still recuperates land, as it did since its beginnings. We had great stops in most modern quarters, Westerpark, Jordaan, Dam and Redlight district and learnt about architecture and how the city evolved. Sebastian was generous with time and a great storyteller. Very recommendable."
"Arun was great in taking time to understand what we needed. He was patient and took us round explaining the Dutch history and architecture, the canals and the history between each, he took time to take us to picturesque places where we got amazing shots. It is worth paying a guide so as to get a local's version of Amsterdam, and recommendations of other things to do and places to eat. His recommendations were great. I highly recommend him!"
