(About local Elvina )

11 agosto 2025

I did a 5 hour walking hour with Elvina and it honestly felt like much longer. Elvina is patient even prior to our tour and accommodated all the changes I had to make. I saw so many places, learnt so many things and ate the most delicious apple pie. She share alot of information in a clear, systematic and witty manner at an eas pace which I really loved. She constantly checked on me to see if I needed anything. I laughed alot with her and she helped to take very nice photos which I most grateful for. I literally passed many houses with little secrets which I now know about, thanks to Elvina. There were also a couple of surprise locations. At the end of our tour, Elvina recommended more places to get delicious food. I am really glad I took this tour with Elvina. 5 hour walking tour with Elvina

We had a lovely day out around Amsterdam with Olga. She had planned out a logical tour using our hotel as the starting point and altered her pace to suit us. Olga was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions we threw at her. We are a family of five and in particular our 4 year old can be quite a challenge for tourist guides and activities. Olga dealt with him brilliantly and we couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommended. Brilliant day around Amsterdam with Olga

Absolutely fantastic experience on this tour. Estella felt more like meeting a friend than a stranger. She was not only knowledgeable but made the whole experience fun. She brought in her own experiences but was also interested in us. We got on perfectly as she listened to what we wanted as well as showing us hidden gems we would have otherwise walked passed. Cannot recommend highly enough. Rock n Stroll

What an absolute treat and delight to spend the afternoon with Helena. She knows how to get around the town. From contemporary street art that I would never have found to the inside story of some of the classic portions of Old Amsterdam. Helena had it all at her command. Great trips on places to dine or grab a beer. There's no way to describe what a wonderful opportunity it is... The best part is - she will customize the experience to be exactly what your group would like for it to be. I've been on a lot of walking tours in many cities around Europe as this one is Tops. Treat yourself to a really behind the scenes look and a lot of laughs and fun. The next time I'm in Amsterdam, we'll be sure to set up a time with Helena to see even more. An Experience Not to Be Missed

Helena met me at my hotel lobby at the prescribed time to begin our tour. She took me to so many places I wouldn’t of seen ordinarily. She’s very knowledgeable, and the kind of person that you feel comfortable with. She becomes much of a friend! We had an enjoyable lunch at a quaint restaurant that she picked out that had excellent food. Helena definitely knows Amsterdam. She was able to provide me with the names of several good restaurants and bakeries that I will go to during the rest of my stay in this lovely city.Helena is a fabulous guide!

(About local Sebastian)

4 septiembre 2025

This was our first withlocals tour, but we both think it's very great if the tour guide speaks your native tongue. Sebastian can speak Dutch, English and German. He welcomes you very warmly and is very interested in getting to know his guests and accomosates for their personal background. It was a real pleasure to have chats with him, learn from his past, walking his tour through seemingly the whole of Amsterdam – in retrospect we were impressed on how many places we've been. His approach was structured well, e.g. he introduced topics at the beginning and showed us them in reality in the course of the tour. We tasted some specialities, got recommendations and loved his future-oriented approach and that we could really talk about different topics and not just get oberwhelmed by information. Only at the beginning he told us three dates which could be repeated to really remember them ;)Very personal, open and generous

Sebastian was a great fun guide and showed us how Amsterdam still recuperates land, as it did since its beginnings. We had great stops in most modern quarters, Westerpark, Jordaan, Dam and Redlight district and learnt about architecture and how the city evolved. Sebastian was generous with time and a great storyteller. Very recommendable.From today’s challenges to A’dam beginning

Arun was great in taking time to understand what we needed. He was patient and took us round explaining the Dutch history and architecture, the canals and the history between each, he took time to take us to picturesque places where we got amazing shots. It is worth paying a guide so as to get a local's version of Amsterdam, and recommendations of other things to do and places to eat. His recommendations were great. I highly recommend him!Fantastic!

We had the most amazing experience on the local food tour in Amsterdam! Marten was the perfect guide – super fun, warm, and full of energy. His incredible knowledge about Amsterdam’s history, culture, and all the hidden gems he showed us made the tour truly special. Every stop had its own story, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the food was absolutely delicious. Marten guided our tour in German, which made it even more personal and enjoyable for us. He explained everything with so much passion and detail, and managed to create a very welcoming and lively atmosphere – it honestly felt like exploring the city with a good friend. This tour was both authentic and unforgettable, and we left with happy memories (and full stomachs!). We can wholeheartedly recommend Marten – thank you so much for such a memorable day in Amsterdam!A perfect mix of history and amazing food

He took us around the city and explained the rich history of everything we were seeing including the changing geography and expansion of Amsterdam over time. He also gave us great insight into a lot of Dutch culture and gave us great tips for local restaurants and other attractions to see while we were here. We took a canal tour later and it was great to be able to connect the different sights, locations and architectures we saw from the canals to the information Sebastian had shown us earlier.
