20 April 2025

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 met up with Olga on our first night in Amsterdam, after a less than optimal travel day. We were instantly comfortable with Olga and proceeded to take our tour. Olga was friendly, comforting, and knowledgeable, and we would recommend her highly. It was a great beginning to our trip. We enjoyed the drinks and the bites, and the tour in general. She also gave us good recommendations for the remainder of our trip. We would do it again in a heartbeat!Great introduction to Amsterdam!

My husband and I had a great time with Claudio in the Jordaan! He is friendly and knowledgeable and We really enjoyed talking to him. We hadn’t been to the Jordaan before, so he showed us around and gave us suggestions for things to come back to, like the Monday morning market at North Church and an alternative to Winkel 43 for amazing apple pie. We sat outside of a really cute brown bar in a lovely plaza and had beer and snacks and chatted before resuming our walk. It was our first night in Amsterdam, and talking to Claudio was a perfect way to get oriented. Everyone should visit the Jordaan, and it’s even better with Claudio. We highly recommend this tour! Perfect first evening in Amsterdam

Anja greeted me like an old friend who had popped into town. In all the good ways! She answered a wide range of questions, showed me hidden features of the neighbourhood and we laughed and had a lovely night.

We are so glad we took a tour of the Jordaan District with Anja! She was pleasant company and very knowledgeable about Amsterdam and Dutch history. We love that it was just the two of us, not a massive group tour, and would highly recommend taking a tour on the first day of your arrival to get the lay of the land and local recommendations for dining and attractions. Thanks Anja! Great experience with Anja!

Dennis made our short visit to Amsterdam all the more valuable the first evening! We love the fact that we now look at the streets differently, understand some architectural bits and pieces, have grrat tips for fun eats - and this has brightened the rest of our visit substantially! A very happy and grateful bunch of 6! :)A warm tour on a cold November night

We thoroughly enjoyed our Beer and Bites walking tour with Ente. Met us on time at the appointed meeting place and started with a brief history of Amsterdam. He pointed out unique architectural features and history of buildings as we walked through the Jordaan neighborhood. The two cafes we stopped at where filled with locals and we enjoyed the cheese selection at one and the Bitterballen at the other. This was a great warm up to our four day stay in Amsterdam.Warm Welcome

We made a very last minute booking with Elvina and we are glad we did! Elvina showed us many interesting sites, and gave us lots of interesting information we had not yet heard about. She also took us to some favorite local establishments for us to purchase their popular fare, and was very concerned with our safety throughout the tour. Fun morning!Interesting & Fun Tour

It was our first time in Amsterdam and it was also the day we arrived. We thought it would be a great way to connect to the city. We highly recommend Olga. She brought us to a number places that could easily be missed without such a good guide. Every one of our stops had a compelling story and she gave the city and its history great dimension and depth. We highly recommend her for getting to know Amsterdam. Great walk with Olga

I had so much fun on this windmill and that factory cheese tour with Olga. She is very friendly and knowledgeable. I got to see the windmills and learn all about their history. I got to visit at Judge cheese factory and try all the different types of cheeses they had. I also got to see how wooden Dutch shoes are made (very cool). She was so polite by holding my bags when I wanted to take pictures, waiting for me to pick out souvenirs, waiting for me to enjoy some ice cream, and etc.. I almost twisted my ankle while walking with her and she literally stopped me from falling on the ground. She was also nice enough to offer to pick me up from my hotel versus me having to pay a taxi. Olga is very nice, and very professional. I highly recommend this tour! Highly recommended tour

I had alerted Olga to the fact that I walk rather slowly using a walking aid. Olga set a gentle pace but nevertheless we covered the principal sights as well as some special corners of central Amsterdam. Olga combined historical facts with fascinating background material. Later in my stay I revisited many of the lesser known places that she pointed out. Thoroughly worth while experience with an excellent guide.A slow walk

Elvina met with us at short notice and the weather was awful, very wet and windy, however despite this she was friendly and cheerful. Our walk through the red light district was interesting and informative with a welcome pit stop halfway round for traditional Dutch apple pie. We definitely learnt some interesting facts about life in Amsterdam and Elvina was very knowledgeable, despite the weather it was enjoyable.Very wet & windy walk

Elise provided us with a terrific tour of the city through her eyes. It was a wonderful way to see another perspective of the city. One minor comment; a better class of bike would have made the experience that much better as navigating the city on a bike is a thrilling experience, but would be nice not to have to worry about the bike. Overall - highly recommend.Was a local - briefly!

I strongly recommend this tour as a way in to the city. And give Olga my highest recommendation as guide. She was very knowledgeable, professional, with a good sense of humor and timing, and lots of fascinating tidbits about the city. She showed me many hidden spots that would have been so easy to overlook. I was worried that 3 hours might be long, but she timed it well and filled it with exactly the right balance of history and culture and architecture and art, so that it flew by. And then I was able to go back and explore what she had shown me in more depth on my own. A really great introduction to the city.Highest recommendations

Melanie🇺🇸 United States

(About local Arunabha)

20 May 2025

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

(About local Olga)

19 May 2025

History aspect of the tour was great, Olga showed us a lot of cool things we wouldn't have known about. Her personality was unapproachable though. She was quite dismissive if we asked questions, kinda giving us a "duh" answer when we asked everyday life questions. Robotic with her story telling. I really like withlocals and this was the first time I am writing a poorer review of someone. For reference we are mid 30 year olds from Chicago. Good history but unpersonable

Her knowledge and experience didn’t stop at the end of our tour as she communicated other suggestions of must do’s during our time spent in Amsterdam. I would definitely recommend Olga. She will make a lovely addition to your stay in Amsterdam. Lovely afternoon in the city

We met Elvina at exactly the time scheduled. She was very welcoming and gave us a brief overview of what to expect and off we went! From the touristy areas and red light district all the way to the zoo and all the way to the end of our tour which we whole heartedly agreed to, to the windmill! She is so knowledgeable, so friendly, and had details of Amsterdam and its history that we never would have experienced otherwise. We booked this tour for our first day in Amsterdam and strongly recommend you do the same! We prefer to experience how locals enjoy their home rather than just tourist areas. This experience fulfilled our wish. Thank you so much Elvina! You were our bright spot! The BEST tour guide in Amsterdam!

He is very knowledgeable about the different areas of the city and he pointed out good places to eat and other actvities and places to visit on our own along the way. We felt this was a great introduction to the city center! Wonderful walking tour of Amsterdam!

We only had one day to spend in Amsterdam so we thought the best way to get the most out of our visit was with a walking tour. Olga met us right at the designated time and gave us a wonder tour of the various parts of the city, telling us about the history and the landmarks. It did not feel rushed, Olga was very thorough and knowledgeable and a fantastic story teller. She even pointed out some of her favorite eateries, of which we tried one after the tour was ended. It did not disappoint. Olga even made our reservation for an evening canal cruise. Perfect Private Walking Tour of Amsterdam

Olga was super flexible and accommodating for our tour. She met us at our hotel and started into a great tour experience. We had a three hour walking tour and we took a short rest and enjoyed the sunny day about half way through the tour. Olga is super knowledgable and works hard to share information that is beyond the history, to help you really understand the city and it's less popular attributes. She also provided some outstanding recommendations for restaurants, bars, and other activities.Extremely Knowledgable and Passionate!

We spent 2 hours with Arunabha in the Rijksmuseum where we learnt a lot abour Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Vermeer and other painters of this time. Arunabha has a great knowledge of the painters and their life - we discovered some hidden connections between these different artists. We also went to see the dolls houses, which are very special, and the wondeful museum library. We very much recommend this tour.A lovely introduction to the Rijksmuseum
