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 enjoyed our tour with Jan Willem very much ! He is a very friendly and engaging guy. Extremely knowledgeable about the city of Amsterdam and its history. We learned facts about the city which we would not have known otherwise. And during the tour, we saw places in Amsterdam, which we would never have seen otherwise. A great and very interesting tour !Jan Willem is a great guide !

Jan came prepared. I booked this walking tour just for myself. It was also a same day, last minute booking. I decided to book through withlocals after reading an article online recommending the service as it’s #1 must-do thing for first timers in Amsterdam. I was not disappointed. Jan’s tour was a non-stop tour filled with historical knowledge & cultural experience rooted in his 40-years of living in Amsterdam. During one of our stops at “Blue” which had a tremendous 360 degree view, Jan shared at great depth about discotheques & popular Dutch snacks. Jan also clearly has relationships with many of the service workers at the various stops. He came with a binder full of images, diagrams and sketches that grounded our conversation throughout the walking tour. I highly recommend Jan as a tour guide. He is a warm person with a sense of humor & clear passion for Amsterdam.Knowledge & Experience

Arun did a great job of pointing out the highlights and hidden details in his Amsterdam tour! He really helped us understand the history of the city and the architectural details of the various churches and other buildings he described as we walked around the old city. He also shared information about the history of the Red Light District. Well done!Highlights & Hidden Gems tour was great!

Our family had an amazing walking tour of Amsterdam with Tommi. His knowledge and detail about the sites in the center of Amsterdam, as well as in the surrounding areas, were simply incredible. Tommi accommodated our special requests into his tour and we ventured out via metro, team and bus to cover some of the lesser known areas. He was gracious with his time and had no issues as we exceeded the allotted tour time. All in all, a great experience and value.A Great Tour and Then Some

I am a well seasoned traveler and Tommi was hands down the best city guide I’ve ever had. Tommi is so knowledgeable about the city and you can tell he really loves what he does. He was able to tell us about architecture, history, culture, food, and gave us really great tips for our time in Amsterdam. We were able to see some of the popular sites, hidden gems that we would have not otherwise noticed, and also experienced less touristy neighborhoods where locals live. His tour really enhanced my understanding of the city and gave amazing context for the rest of my stay. At first I was skeptical of the cost because it is more than I usually spend on a tour. But I found that this was absolutely well worth the price and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Tommi, for such an amazing day!! Best guide ever

Kawika could not have made our introduction to Amsterdam more wonderful. From the moment we met up his kind, calm demeanor made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Rather than having a script to go off of, he was a wealth of fun facts that helped us see this city in enlightening & unexpected. His love for this city infused our tour with energy, curiosity, and wonder. We felt comfortable asking him questions about Amsterdam and broader Dutch history, as well as how to navigate the city like locals. We could not recommend him more highly! Absolutely book with him! An Absolute Gem!

Stepped out of the way of regular everyday tour guides in order to speak Directly to us about what we were looking at & gave a brilliant history of it. He has studied & knows what he’s talking about!

We really enjoyed our two day Amsterdam tour with Kawika. He is very knowledgeable and was helpful and sensitive to our wants and needs. He managed to reconfigure our tour due to airline delays and still made our stay in Amsterdam most enjoyable and interesting. His artistic insight and general artistic knowledge are exceptional and really added to the artistic aspect, and he listened carefully to us and curated a bespoke tour suited exactly to what we wanted and could manage. In addition to all that, he is a very nice person who is passionte about Amsterdam and his work. We highly recommend him, he is delightful. Mike and Abigail (65 year old couple)Delightful guide

We spent a morning with Kawika on a World War II walking tour of Amsterdam, and it ended up being so much more than just a history lesson. While he covered the WWII material thoroughly and thoughtfully, he also wove in broader context about the city and the people. Kawika made an effort to get to know our family—what we’d seen so far, what we were curious about and shaped the experience to fit us perfectly. Rather than delivering a scripted tour, he made it conversational, responding to our questions and observations as we went. It felt organic, not rehearsed. He’s warm, personable, and so knowledgeable, never overwhelming. We truly enjoyed spending the morning with him. Time flew by, and both of our teenagers wished the tour had lasted longer… which says everything. We’d recommend him without hesitation.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the little things that were in plain sight but which we would have totally missed if we hadn't had a guide.

Jen Willem was just fabulous. I am the wrong side of 70, and I was travelling with a 19-year-old - Jen Willem listened to our specific requests and took us on a route that included places I am sure we would not have found on our own - this was our first time in Amsterdam. He is clearly passionate about his beautiful city, and is full not only of facts and figures but interesting stories that bring places alive. Jen Willem has a lovely personality, very personable, very patient, and a great sense of humour too. I would totally recommend him.Jen Willem is just great!

Spending the day with Tommi was an absolute highlight of our trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable and brought each place to life with stories and insights we never would have discovered on our own. What really made the experience special was how personal and flexible he was—he adjusted the tour to fit our interests and pace, making sure we got the most out of our time together. Since we had the whole day, Tommi never rushed us. He genuinely took his time, which made everything feel easy and enjoyable. By the end, it felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with a good friend. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, engaging, and memorable experience!An Unforgettable Experience with Tommi!

Arum was nice and knowledgeable about the history of local foods. It was mostly a stroll through a local street market, tasting an eclectic mix of Dutch and ethnic-inspired Dutch foods, though we ended early due to exhaustion on the part of some of our group. We tried delicious “Pom” sandwiches, Gouda cheeses, Dutch pancakes, and unexpected pairing of Dutch apple pie and draft beer, fried fish (we declined the herring), and ended with bitterballen. I don’t think this was a foodie’s “best of Amsterdam” tour, but rather an introduction to different foods found here that you may not encounter elsewhere. Arun spoke quickly and softly so it was difficult at times for some in our 6-person group to hear what he was saying. Having said that, we didn’t all do an especially good job sticking close by, though we did have to ask him to repeat himself a few times for those who couldn’t catch his words. If we had been a bit more energetic I think it might have been more fun, unfortunately we had had a long day and ran out of steam before we got through all the stops. The thing most important to know is that this is rather eclectic in terms of the order of tasting things - from cheese to butter soaked sugar cakes to beer, so prepare your stomach accordingly. And be sure to bring water to wash it all down. Good intro to Amsterdam Int’l Food Scene

Architectural insights, city history, commentary on events, holiday traditions, good restaurants, and an amazing list of hidden gems, ie special insights that he has observed over the years. He is fluent in 6-7 languages and is a very competent piano player. He made it clear to us up front that he was a high functioning person with asbergers. We felt that disability was never a problem at all. His encyclopedic understanding of Amsterdam was a big plus. His tour was outstanding.Excellent Tour Guide

Arun was a great guide and knowledgeable about the history of the neighborhood. Our feedback would be to add a few more stops and some more food? It started at 7:30 and by 10pm (the end) we had really only had food at one of the stops. We were hungry and had to find a place for dinner at a late hour. Great idea- but maybe add more food?

We had a great time with Arunabha- he was knowledgeable, friendly and good with the kids. My only constructive feedback is this tour would have been more accurately named "Basic tour of Amsterdam" or "Highlights of Amsterdam." There weren't really any hidden gems. We got pretty much the exact same tour on the canal cruise we took. As a guide, he was great and we were not disappointed. If you are looking for something different than a basic tour I am sure he can accommodate if you send him a message beforehand. So to sum it up we really has a great time and liked him a lot, just wanted some more "hidden gems", meaning more locally known spots we wouldn't necessarily see or know about. Great basic tour of Amsterdam
