"Our guide did a wonderful job providing us with a unique visitor this beautiful city. He included historical information relevant to the wonderful food we were tasting and the areas we were walking through. "
"Sebastian was an amazing guide for our walking tour through Amsterdam. He had great knowledge and shared so much interesting and helpful information. And he was a very very nice guy....highly recommend. "
"We had a wonderful family tour (two 15 year olds) with Rolf. Rolf struck a nice balance between speaking to the adults while at the same time holding the teenagers’ interest. We particularly enjoyed how he put the art in the broader historical context. We will definitely seek Rolf out for our next Rijksmuseum visit. "
"Had a great tour of the Van Gogh museum with Rolf. He offered to buy our tickets ahead of time so we could skip the line and spend more time in the museum, spent time preparing visual examples we could look at on his tablet screen, and taught us as a group how an art historian can isolate details in studying a painting. If you want to learn about Van Gogh’s life, understand how his paintings in context, and learn how to study them, there is no better guide."
"I’d highly recommend a walking tour with Marten. You can expect to not just learn about the city but to learn something about the Dutch mentality, the values, what the local customs are like. There is no better way to begin your trip to Amsterdam."
"We had an incredible experience with Helena on our first day in Amsterdam! As first-time visitors, we thought it would be helpful to get an overview of the city before exploring on our own—and Helena was the perfect guide. She was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient, taking extra time to answer all of our questions. She gave my wife and me invaluable tips and insights that made the rest of our trip so much more enjoyable and stress-free. We truly appreciated her thoughtful approach and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personal, informative, and friendly introduction to Amsterdam."
"Kawika made us feel comfortable even before our tour started by learning our interests up front to customize our tour. He had impeccable knowledge of the area and its history. He didn’t just rattle off facts but wove them into our conversation. He had ready answers to our questions and shared personal experiences to enhance our understanding. He was a great resource for suggestions of things to do and how to navigate the city. We couldn’t have found a better way to learn about Amsterdam."

Fun and informative with a true local.
"My niece and I booked a last-minute tour with Helena. She was very accommodating of our packed schedule. She taught us about the Coffee Shop culture and the Red Light District in a way that made us feel as if we were living it with her. We saw special spots, were able to ask kind of awkward questions and get really friendly and informative responses, and she made us feel comfortable with her sense of humor. Mostly, though, we learned so much about Dutch culture from Helena. She clearly loves Amsterdam and it's openness and now we do, too! Thank you, Helena! "
"My father and I had already spent several days in Amsterdam doing most of the touristy stuff (museums, canal tour, etc) and to have a local like Olga share her expertise and knowledge helped elevate our time here. We had already seen most of the things she showed us, but never knew what it was. Many of the things she showed us were truly hidden gems you might read about in a guide book but never find on your own! Truly a worthwhile experience. Olga was super kind and showed us lots of good food spots as well (including the best Stroopwaffel and other things)!
Olga is a must for booking this tour. "
