Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a wonderful time with Christa. Our group consisted of five, including my parents in their 70s and my two children, aged 10 and 13. Despite the wide age gap, everyone enjoyed themselves. Christa was very accommodating and engaging, showing us all the little details we would never have noticed on our own without a guide. Although she’s Dutch, she speaks fluent French. Having a local share their city experiences always adds a special touch—you feel more connected to the city and its residents."
"Our family had a fabulous tour of Amsterdam with Christa. She went out of her way to personalise the tour and showed us lots of beautiful spots off the busy tourist track. The cheese was delicious and the little cafe we stopped at was devine . Thank you also for all of the recommendations in and around Amsterdam. I’d definitely recommend this - especially at the beginning of your stay as you’ll get so many great ideas for other things to do and see!"
"Very interesting and informative tour. Sebastian provided great insights to Dutch culture and history through the delicious snacks we had. Highly recommend him as your guide :)"
"Jan kept our group of four completely engaged and interested thruout our three hour tour; no mean feat given the range in ages and interests. When he sensed energies were flagging, he came yo the reduce with a welcomed coffee at an amazing cafe with the best rooftop view in the city. And he had recommendations (plus metro tickets!) for our remaining stay in the city. Many thanks for a truly enjoyable tour!!"
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!

"We had a wonderful two-hour private tour of the Rijksmuseum with Rolf. He is incredibly knowledgeable about art history, but what really made the experience special was the way he told the stories behind the art. He has a great sense of humor and is very easy to spend time with, which made the tour feel relaxed and engaging rather than overly academic. One of the most interesting surprises was how much he taught us about the museum building itself. That context added a lot to the experience and was something we would not have expected going in. Rolf also guided us through the development of Rembrandt’s work over time, starting with his early pieces and showing how his style evolved. The tour felt tailored to our interests, and Rolf made a point of engaging both of us throughout. The pacing was just right, and the two hours flew by. If you are looking for a guide who is smart, funny, and genuinely enjoyable to be around, we would absolutely recommend Rolf."
" It was a very enjoyable trip with Elvina. She is a highly knowledgeable guide with great passion for her work as a tour guide. She knows a lot about history, and I learned so much from her. I truly enjoyed my time, and it was one of the most memorable trips I have ever experienced. I highly recommend everyone to try this experience."
"Anne was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed walking around the different neighborhoods and seeing the city from a local perspective. "
"We have been on many guided tours around the world but I can honestly say this was one of the most enjoyable. Instead of being bombarded with dates and facts, which you have forgotten by the end of the tour, Marten demonstrated what makes Amsterdam, Amsterdam and the Dutch the Dutch. He was friendly, engaging and knowledgable and subtly tailored our tour to our interests and requirements. Angela and I thank you, Marten, for enhancing our experience."
"Rolf’s knowledge of Van Gogh , his life and works was great. He helped us understand Van Gogh’s thinking and work process, pointing out the intricacies of his paintings . A valuable insight into this great artist’s work. The skip the queue experience alone is good value for money"
"Rolf is knowledgeable and passionate about art and he made the Van Gogh museum tour both interesting and fun."
