"I had such an amazing and informative tour with Anna this morning. I did not know much about Van Gogh but knew that a visit to the museum with a knowledgeable guide was at the top of my list while visiting Amsterdam. Anna is extremely knowledgeable about him, his work and how his personal struggles influenced him at different stages of his short life as an artist. Without her expertise I would not have understood how he changed techniques, colors, styles or who and what he was influenced by. I’m 64 and have never enjoyed a museum more! I highly recommend seeing the Van Gogh or other museums with Anna."
"Vita proved that there is always much to learn from a knowledgeable guide and that there are amazing “gems” hidden in plain sight. Even though I have been to Amsterdam several times before, I saw many new things and got new perspectives on several familiar places. The highlight of the tour was the Royal Theatre Tuschinski—a real gem of the Art Deco period. Brava!"
"Mayra was such a great guide, introducing us to so many things about the Dutch culture! The foods market had so many amazing foods to eat and she chose the very best for us to try! In addition she shared about the architecture of the buildings as we walked through the market and beyond! Mayra was extremely fun to be with as well. Highly recommend her for your good your!"
"I did the cycling tour with my 18 year old son. David gave a lot of background information, we did see parts of the city we did not know and my son discovered the vintage football t shirt shop ;-)
Easy to manage bikes
Great tour."
"We had such a wonderful time! Elise was absolutely perfect! She helped us navigate the city and showed us places we would have never discovered on our own. We highly recommend her tours!"
"Had Marten guide me through the Van Gough Museum. I wondered have he was going to fill up two hours. It was really a great two hours. He understands the artist and was able to give me fantastic insights. We then walked Amsterdam. Likewise he knows his history and architecture! He is highly recommended. I have used Locals on probably 10 occasions. He is the best I have had. "
"Marten gave a fantastic tour of the Rijksmuseum Art with the depth and knowledge of a professor and the passion and enthusiasm of a politician. His distilled his knowledge into an inspirational and explanative tour that crossed social, political, religious and economic history that shone a light on the Dutch influence and philosophy. 10/10.... Inspire the kids!"
"We had a wonderful time with Anne showing us her Amsterdam and some hidden gems. "
