"We had experienced the tourist centres before this trip; Tommi devised and gave us a brilliant tour of the west and south of Amsterdam; His knowledge of the history, architecture and locals' experience of these areas was extraordinary, his telling of the stories well thought out and engrossing; An experience etched in our memories. Everything that we could expect from a "Withlocals" visit. Thank you Tommi, we wish you well and hope to see you again."
"Anna was terrific from beginning to end! She advised me to change the tour we requested, met us ontime in the lobby, and adapted the tour to our requests. She was great about answering all of our questions and proactively providing interesting facts as we toured. A great day overall and perfect start to our vacation. "
"Mayra was great and very accommodating to our team's different levels of enthusiasm for trying Dutch food & varying interests. Also as someone who is conscious of food waste, this was my first food tour that I've done that actually took into account in not wasting food while making sure we all were still full at the end of the tour. Thank you Mayra for the good time! :)"
"Elvina showed us the well known buildings and neighborhoods, but also provided fun facts and hidden details about the city. We saw things we would not find on our own. She kept us safe from car and bicycle traffic. A great experience overall!"
"Walking through the Van Gogh museum with Rolf as our guide was a fabulous afternoon immersed in all things Van Gogh. Rolf’s knowledge of Van Goghs life, the artist peers who influenced him and the various locales from which he painted brought his art to life. Rolf’s use of his iPad deepened our understanding of many of the paintings that we visited. We finished our time at the Kiefer exhibit which tied our whole afternoon together. It was extraordinary to start by understanding who influenced Van Gogh and finishing up by seeing how Van Gogh influenced Kiefer. Thank you Rolf for a wonderful afternoon !!"

"Diana was a wonderful guide. She not only knew general history but interesting and fun facts throughout our tour. She was a very engaging person and quite accommodating to our requests. At the end of our time together she even showed us a delicious spot for lunch. Highly recommend!"
"We spent our first afternoon in Amsterdam with Helena on a 3 hour Highlights and Hidden Gems tour. Helena was great with all of the pre-meeting and planning communications and was helpful with many questions we had prior to our arrival. Our tour was the perfect blend of all of the highlights and many sights we would have never discovered on our own. She helped shape our understanding of what each location meant to the history and current culture of the city. The true “hidden gem” had to be Helena. She is full of energy, outgoing, and extremely knowledgeable of her city and all that it has to offer. A great way to explore the city. "
"We spent a wonderful morning learning about the beauty, history, and charm of Amsterdam with Olga. She is an absolute gem. She has a lovely demeanor and fun sense of humor as well. She even helped us with fantastic restaurant recommendations. We highly recommend spending time with her if you really want to have a special experience while you are visiting this special city! Dankjewel, Olga!!"
"Not only is Anna very smart and well prepared, but she does a great job of engaging with you and making sure you are on the same page for what you want see and not just going through a checklist of items. We visited the Rijksmuseum, which is a huge facility with thousands of possible things to see, and the first thing she did was pause and help us think through what types of exhibits we were interested in. Once we decided that, it took the pressure off trying to "see everything" which was impossible in a 2 hour tour. We moved directly to the areas we wanted and never felt rushed. The resulting conversation about the exhibits was easy and free flowing allowing her to tailor the tour to our specific areas of interest and answer all of our questions. She is a real pro! We highly recommend! "
"Rolf was a very interesting and engaging guide who was eager to share his knowledge about the Van Gogh museum. The tour was more like a discussion with him about Van Gogh and his life as we walked around the museum looking at the exhibits. He was very personable and we had fun interacting with him. He is very knowledgeable and was able to go beyond just the basic facts to help us understand the context of Van Gogh's life in that period of art history. We highly recommend him. "
