We truly enjoyed the tour with Fusina. She was friendly and knowledgeable. It felt like a stroll with a friend. Visited the market and tried different types of snacks from the stalls. Liked it so much we ordered the same snacks in bars & pubs during the rest of our stay in the city and came back to the same market on our own for shopping.To the market with a friend

Fusina helped us plan our entire day and during our tour she catered to our group’s needs and interests, answered every question with good humor and patience and we thoroughly enjoyed our two hours in her company, with her as our guide. We would repeat the experience and recommend Fusina as a guide with no reservations. Knowlegable, considerate and kind.

The food tour that I took with Fusina was fine - she was friendly and we ate some good food. However, I'm not sure what value she really added. The logistics weren't well planned as several of the places she tried to take us were closed and whereas my favorite food tours have generally included information or stories about the food, city, and culture I didn't really get any of those here.Friendly, But Minimal

I booked a guided tour with Fusina. She has been fantastic and incredibly accommodating even when the plan constantly changed. The group that she worked with let me know how fun it was to meet up with her. I strongly recommend her and definitely taking contact with her again in the future. Amsterdam Magic

Die Tour mit Fusina war wunderbar. Eine Verspätung unserer Gruppe war kein Problem. Die Auswahl der typisch niederländischen Snacks und das besuchte Stadtviertel - alles war ganz nach unserem Geschmack. Und nicht zuletzt die wundervolle Gastgeberin: Danke Fusina für den unvergesslichen Nachmittag! Sehr empfehlenswert!

We had a great experience with Fusina. It was very easy to taste all kinds of Dutch treats and special foods. Our family really enjoyed the herring, French fries and waffle stops the most. We appreciated the first stop at Fusina’s house… a great look at life in Amsterdam!! Definitely recommend!Great food overview!

I am chef and I love to get to know a country through its food, so when Fusina took us to the open-air market and we tasted such a variety of amazing foods, I was very happy. I love being able to talk about food and it’s role in the country’s economics for example, and Fusina seems to be well aware of all that is going on: from being in touch with farmers and promoting eating local to also knowing about the local wine industry and how it’s growing. I really appreciated her time with us and all the amazing treats we tried: croquettes, stroopwaffel, the cheese and the story behind it, Surinam and it’s food, smoked eel and herring, etc. Quite wonderful!All I hoped for and more!

I wanted to find experiences that my kids would really enjoy and when I came across the Dutch pancake class with Fusina, I knew they’d love it. We had her class the day we arrived and she made sure felt comfortable and welcomed even though we were fighting a bit of jet leg. The kids absolutely loved this experience. We had so much fun watching them learn how to make, mix, and flip the pancakes. Fusina had indulged us with many Dutch treats, including stroop waffles, spreads, cheese, wine, juice, pancakes and apple cake. Such a great afternoon! Thank you, Fusina for welcoming us to your lovely home and making our first day in Amsterdam so memorable. Best afternoon with Fusina!

Fusina was a lovely, interesting guide and generous with her time. We met at her flat near the Amstel and had a cheese tasting and made Dutch pancakes followed by a visit to an organic market and tried fresh herring (surprisingly nice). We then tried deep fried beef balls followed by freshly cooked waffles. We had an interesting tour and walk after and Fusina sent us some ideas for our following days. Fab Food tour

Walking around the city with a local while eating tasty foods was wonderful. Fusina really knows the city and the foods that are popular with the locals. Fusina is also really flexible. We picked an agreeable meeting time to go along with the time our ship was in port and told her a few foods we wanted to try. She made it all happen. I recommend this tour.Great way to spend a day

Fusina began our tour with an unexpected non-food treat....A tour of her canal-front home. We like food tours because they enable you to see neighborhoods and food purveyors off the beaten (read tourist) track and this was a bonus!. Then we were off to sample bitterballen, herring, sausages, cheeses, beers, and cookies, plus we learned where she shopped and ate. She explained canal history to us and pointed out sights we never would have expected. She is a joy and her tours are even better. Her pace accommodated out group ranging from 35-75, and her English was perfect. We would give her 11 stars if we could. Thanks Fusina for showing us a part of Amsterdam we could never have discovered on our own. From Soup to Nuts

We had two amazing hours in great company with Fusina. Not only did she introduce us to some of the amazing flavours of Amsterdam and the Netherlands but she told us a lot about the history and culture as well. She seemed to know everyone we visited during the tour and we had so much fun. She also gave us great recommendations for the rest of our holidays here, and it is not the last time we visit this beautiful place. We highly recommend Fusina, if you want an amazing experience, taste great authentic local food, learn a little about Amsterdam and have fun.Amazing flavours and inspiring guide

Fusina provided a local tour of eateries, in which we tasted a variety of famous Dutch foods from salted herring to the best waffles in Amsterdam. Fusina is very passionate about consuming natural foods and shared her knowledge of where to buy fresh food. We thoroughly enjoyed the tasty delights on Fusina's tour. Tasty delights of Amsterdam

This tour with Fusina is a must! First she invited us into her home, which we were surprised and honestly a little unsure of; but she showed us many historical sites from her view and let us see what a typical dutch flat looks like inside. It was a very nice touch. Next we went on a walk to try the most incredible foods!! Why the Dutch say they do not have good food makes no sense to me. Fusina knew ALL the best places. Plus we got to tour an organic grocery store. Stroopwaffels are everywhere but Fusina knew the PERFECT place to get the best one you will ever have in your life!! Do not go on this tour hungry as it is only a tasting tour. But the food is awesome and it is a great thing to do with a group so you can all try a little bit of each thing. Fusina was wonderful, so personable, and I HIGHLY recommend her and withlocals.com. Wonderful food, Incredible guide!

We wanted more than just a canal ride and walk through the Red Light District in our visit to Amsterdam. I had done some research on intersting foods and snacks of Amsterdam, and was delighted that almost everything I wanted to try was part of the tour. It was just what I was hoping for. Fusina was really knowledgeable and we had a wonderful afternoon snacking our way around the City.Food Tour of Amsterdam

In the new shopping area of Amsterdam the Utrecht street (Utrechtse straat) Fusina introduces her food walks. It is true thrill walking from her apartment at the Amstel river to discover the Dutch kitchen. The Utrecht street is an emerging shopping area for locals, where not many tourists can be found. From her background in retail and as princess of cookbooks she is the right person to acquaint guests with the Dutch cuisine and foodstuff. Enthusiastically she introduces innovations like the dry sausages from Brandt & Levie's in the trendy Marqt on Rembrandt Square. Marqt has more tasting food like handmade ravioli with Muttis tomato sauce and warm fish in dill sauce. A moment later we are herring gasping at the fish boot by Simon & Evert on the Prinsengracht. At Patisserie Kuyt the ladies will taste the delicious macarons. What is Amsterdam without the Albert Cuyp market? This daily market has everything for the real Dutch kitchen. After a lot of taste sensations we finally arrive at Cafe Oosterling for a traditional Dutch gin (jenever). The jenever can only be enjoyed kneeling for a first sip. Then the glass is lifted its leg, like the Dutch say for enjoying the special flavor of jenever. It is a walk full of surprises and taste sensations in which an enthusiastic Fusina appears to have a tremendous food knowledge. She came up with the idea during a food walk in New York. Join Fusina in the delicious world of Dutch Food in an authentic Amsterdam neighborhood of the Utrechtse straat.Authentic Dutch Treats: Bites & Tastings

We had a terrific time tasting Dutch cheese and wine at Fusina’s beautiful canal home! Fusina was hospitable, knowledgeable, and generous with her time and tastings. And her house is absolutely lovely. Fusina is also an interesting person to spend an afternoon with. Our time at her home learning about and tasting authentic Dutch wine and cider, as well as cheese, nuts, crackers, and a lovely apple jelly was one of the highlights of our visit to Amsterdam. Thank you Fusina!Dutch cheese and wine tasting with Fusina

My sister & I were keenly welcomed into Fusina's home overlooking the Amstel canal. After much chatting, we walked to Fusina's local speciality market where we discussed all sorts of food differences - Fusina bought more cheese. On returning to her home, Fusina set out cheeses, apple paste, bread and gluten free crackers. We also sampled herring with onion and pickle. We drank white wine, but not much as it was at 11 am! Our little feast finished with apple cake and Dutch profiteroles. The opportunity to spend time with a local and her area was more valuable to us than the food and wine. Thank you, FusinaTasty Cheeses & Wine over the kitchen tabl

Fusina was our first experience with WithLocals, and it was so much fun and made us excited for the other tours we had booked. There were four of us, my wife, mother in law and 2-year-old son. The planning phase and messages back and forth were pleasant and helpful. We arrived a few minutes late after a failed attempt to take an Uber to save time (It’s ALWAYS faster to walk in Amsterdam). She welcomed us into her historic canal house, which was so fun to see and had an incredible view of the canals. We then headed off to the open markets. Despite some initial rain we enjoyed walking through a local grocery store where she showed us local items and bought some nice local cheeses. We then moved on to the open air markets. One the way she showed us some historical places and discusses life in Amsterdam. The open air market was amazing, Fusina brought us to a stand that made homemade Dutch waffles – words cannot describe the goodness of these waffles. We asked Fusina to help us find a few local things like some teas and clothe, which she happily did. We then headed back to her canal house to enjoy our spoils. We had a great time sitting and talking and eating. It was exactly what we wanted and needed. Fusina was very accommodating, especially with our son, who thankfully fell asleep in the stroller for most of the tour. For those of you who are looking for a taste of life in Amsterdam and a good time with good food we highly recommend Fusina. PS try the herring!Open Market and Wine and Cheese Tour
