Experience the best of
Eindhoven with Withlocals

"You are expertly looked after!! Elleke will meet you at a location of your choice whether it be your hotel or at a bike rental shop (VeloRent is very good!) and then she takes you on a 2.5 hour whistlestop tour of Eindhoven where you see all the best bits and she does ask you if there’s anything in particular you want to see. The Philips family is very dominant in this town and we see the factories where they used to produce things which have now been turned into other workspaces. Plus the houses that were built for the Philips workers, the PSV stadium, art installations in parks etc We ran overtime by half an hour as we had a leisurely coffee and a nice chat! Recommended! "

"We had a great time exploring Eindhoven with Elleke. Some interesting places and lots of green space. Only downside was the bike tour was described as “with a picnic “. Half way round Elleke told us this was wrong there was no picnic and the withlocals site needs corrected. It would have been good to know this in advance."

"Last Saturday I experienced the bike tour of Elleke together with my mom. Elleke is a really nice and friendly host who has a lot of knowledge about Eindhoven. Besides, she has a real passion for guiding people around which makes the experience even more fun! Elleke showed us different spots in Eindhoven, she guided us around cozy neighborhoods, parks, and showed some historical buildings. Besides we enjoyed a picnic in the park with all kind of drinks and snacks. It is a really fun andhealthy way to enjoy Eindhoven!"

"Elleke is a really nice and friendly host. The tour was well organized. Elleke showed us several historical places, parks, neighborhoods and also upcoming trendy places in Eindhoven. It is a fun way to discover Eindhoven with your family or friends and being active at the same time. I did the tour together with my daughter and we really enjoyed it together! The picnic in the park with several snacks and drinks wasone of my highlights, really relaxing. And I really liked the passion of Ellekein her story about Eindhoven."

"Die Tour mit Matthijs war fantastisch. Perfekt vorbereitet, stets auf unsere Wünsche eingehend und sehr charmant haben wir viel über Eindhoven gelernt. Wir hatten viel Spaß und empfehlen die Tour mit Matthijs auf jeden Fall weiter."

"The bike tour was a really enjoyable Experience. Elleke was a very friendly and open host. During the bike tour she showed me a couple of excentric places in Eindhoven. A couple of examples where she took me; An excentric hipster café/restaurant with modern but yet vintage interior, A place with some exclusively small an cool companies where you can buy design products, A small farm just outside Eindhoven with its own bio-organic shop, A place where you could play minigolf and lots more. So if you're curious about these places, you should definitely BOOK this experience! All in al it was a very educational and fun experience in Eindhoven."

"Our first ever visit to Eindhoven and it quickly became clear that if we really wanted to see the city properly, it had to be done by bike. A quick Google search brought up Elleke's details and it was apparent straight away that she could offer us just the sort of tour we wanted, tailored to our interests, but without having to pay a fortune. Elleke was very quick to respond to our request and confirm when she could do the tour. She was also able to offer recommendations for bike hire (although we ended up going somewhere recommended by our hotel as we were keen to try out e-bikes). As to the tour itself, Elleke clearly knew a great deal about Eindhoven - even though she joked that she was still a newcomer, having only lived in the city since the 1990s! Everything was done at our pace. If we wanted to spend more time somewhere, that was absolutely fine. She was very flexible - offering ideas and suggesting where we might go but happy to adapt to what we wanted. This was no box ticking, fixed price, typical tourist route experience. Our tour lasted 2 1/2 hours but we were still keen to explore a little more (and make the most of our day's bike hire) so Elleke recommended a route along one of the canals and took us to the starting point, really going out of her way to help us. My husband and I would absolutely 100% recommend Elleke to anyone who wants to find out a little more about this lovely city and do it the local's way - by bike!"

"I have enjoyed very much my Eindhoven bicycle tour, discovering old and new aspects of an evolving city. Visit of the circular economy warehouse and the biological farm was enlightening as learning about the first short-wave radio transmission by Kgn Wilhelmina in 1927. Dank U weel!"

"Must do cycling tour around Eindhoven even if you not a cyclist. Able to cover a bigger area than walking. Elleke is friendly and knowledgeable. "

"Was great to get this personalized tour. Although Eindhoven is know for it's design and industrial sites it was really nice to see bits and pieces of the old historical character. Never knew Eindhoven had so much textile factories. Next to getting a more historic feel for the city it was really nice to visit some nice places to grab a local snack and beer. Thanks so much Reinoud (and Erik)! was really nice!"
