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!"
"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!!"
"Tommi has an excellent knowledge base and was very personable. He quickly got a sense of our interests and was able to make our tour more personalized. Highly recommend!"

"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."
"I recently joined the Treasures of Amsterdam: Coffeeshops and Red Light District Tour with Anne, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. From the start, Anne created a warm and friendly atmosphere while sharing her deep knowledge of Amsterdam’s history, culture, and the unique stories that shape its most iconic neighbourhoods. What I appreciated most was how naturally Anne blended fun with learning. She explained the coffeeshop culture, the city’s progressive policies, and the evolution of the Red Light District in a way that was engaging, respectful, and genuinely fascinating. On top of that, she shared amazing recommendations of other places to visit in the city — hidden spots, museums, cafés — which added even more value to the experience. Overall, the tour felt personal, insightful, and incredibly enjoyable. Anne made everything feel safe, welcoming, and effortlessly interesting. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam — especially if you have the chance to explore it with Anne!"
"Absolutely loved our time with Carolina! She really has a good grasp of the history of the area and knows Amsterdam well. I walk with a cane and she adjusted our tour accordingly. Was very pleased with the overall experience and would definitely use her again. Thank you, Carolina."
"We had a fabulous time with Christa! She told us all about the city and was very knowledgeable about its history. We happened across an open air market and Christa was so accommodating and let us do some shopping 🛍 We stopped in a charming Cafe for coffees to take on our tour as the weather got a bit colder. We stopped in an adorable cheese shop. And, knowing we enjoyed vintage shopping, she ended our tour with taking us to an antique mall where we continued our adventure on our own. We had a wonderful day!!"
