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

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

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!

She is very passionate about her work, has wonderful energy and enthusiasm, and I appreciated the variety of subject matter and thoroughness of information she shared. We heard about history, current events, little unique bits of information, food recommendations, and we felt comfortable asking any other questions that arose. She was very well prepared and we felt like we got an extremely thorough introduction to the city! Fantastic Tour Guide!

Elvina was super punctual and in fact was waiting for me, and I was 5 mins early. I had someone else take me through the city earlier and booked the Red Light District tour with Elvina. She was super knowledgeable about the history and new the area really well. Guided me though the are explaining how things worked and more importantly the culture and dos and don't when it comes to the Red Light district. Very educational and I enjoyed the tour. I would highly recommend Elvina if you are looking for someone to show you around Amsterdam. An awesome tour guide and host

The best tour I have been on. We were shown things that were not in any guide books or on the Web, and the knowledge Elise had was excellent. We saw the side of Amsterdam I would never had known was there. Free ferry rides we never knew about so you could travel to 3 different areas at no cost. A great tour ending at the old ship yards with the best graffiti we had ever seen, and all allowed. Great area to see Thank you Elise for making our holiday memories that will last a life time.

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

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

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

Arunabha was without a doubt the most intelligent, educated, well versed, knowledgeable, impressionable, kind young man I’ve ever had as a guide. Showed us the most important areas to see. 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 had a lovely tour of Amsterdam with our tour guide Elvina. We had never taken a "Withlocals" type of tour before. The experience of being shown around Amsterdam on a private tour with someone who did not deliver a rehearsed speech was our favorite outing in Amsterdam. Elvina made us feel like we were old friends of hers visiting her in Amsterdam. She took us to interesting places with lovely stories and asked us entertaining questions to include us in the tour experience. We would highly recommend her for a fun, informative, personalized walking tour of Amsterdam. Our next trip abroad will definitely kick off with a WithLocals tour!

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.
