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!

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

Wow, what an incredibly knowledgeable guide Arunabha is. There are no facets about the red light district that he does not know. We spent a very enjoyable and informative few hours walking the area where we learnt all about it's rich history as well as what life is like there today and what the future may hold. Arunabha is easy to talk to and answered all our questions. Very Knowledgeable Guide

Arunabha provided a vast amount of information on the history of Amsterdam, Netherlands, vis a vis the invasion by Nazis and many perspectives on the resistance. He was knowledgeable about the role of the Dutch Empire and its impact on Indonesia and other former “colonies”. Thanks for a great tour.Informative tour, amazing.

This was my first time using Withlocals and Olga has set the bar high! Her knowledge on local culture and food was exceptional. Each stop on the tour was picked out with purpose as it related to culture and history. It was exactly what I was looking for and she helped me learn much more about the Dutch. Her own love for travel also made it easy to talk to her during the tour. I highly recommend her and would definitely choose her again for a future booking!A great tour!

I had a good time with Olga on my personalized tour and I discovered not only places, but a lot of the history I would have known nothing about otherwise. Olga explained everything well and in an engaging way that I was able to remember and rave to friends about. My first trip to Amsterdam was all the more meaningful because of the knowledge I gained and Olga's suggestions on places to visit based on my interests. The hidden gardens and peeks at the beautiful interiors of the houses they were a part of was a huge plus. I would absolutely recommend the 'Highlights and Hidden Gems' tour with Olga for anyone who is visiting and wants to get a bit more out of their trip and experience a local's perspective.Enhanced my first trip to Amsterdam

We had a lovely morning with Olga. Anyone who likes cookies as much as us (and knows the best place to go in Amsterdam to get them) was always going to be a hit! Olga clearly loves Amsterdam and her enthusiasm for the city made it a most enjoyable 3 hours. We wanted to find out the background to the city as well as what to do and where to eat during our stay and she didn't let us down! After our walk we spent the next 3 days doing all the things Olga recommended and this certainly made out trip very special. So if you want a guide who knowledgeable and engaging, Olga is the one for you!Olga is great!

We had an absolutely fantastic walking tour of Amsterdam with Olga! From start to finish, her knowledge, warmth, and passion for the city made this a truly memorable experience. Over the 3 hours, Olga brought Amsterdam’s history and culture to life, sharing fascinating stories and insights that we never would have discovered on our own. The best part was how personalized the experience felt. Olga took the time to understand our interests and tailored her recommendations to suit us perfectly. The next day, we went back to many of the wonderful places she pointed out (the cookies, the waffles, the restaurants!) and it made our time in Amsterdam so much richer and more enjoyable. Olga’s enthusiasm and expertise are unmatched, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re looking for a tour that’s engaging, informative, and full of hidden gems, Olga is the one to book with. Best guided tour we’ve had!Best tour of Amsterdam!

We had a wonderful time with our local food guide Olga. She brought us to restaurants that serve traditional Dutch food (which was my request) What I liked about the tour is that we were brought to restaurants were locals ate. We had croquettes, stroopwaffels, pancakes, herring fish and a lot more. We even tried a Surinamese-Chinese dish! She not only talked about the food but also tje history that came with it. Truly an amazing experience 🤍 A fun food tour with Olga

Such an interesting side of Amsterdam to learn about. Arun was very professional and handled the topics of red light District and ”coffeeshops” with grace and practicality. We would probably not have gone through this area on our own but truly appreciated the opportunity to hear about the history and see how things are operating today. Well done Arun! Wonderful tour

JAN🇺🇸 United States

(About local Elise)

30 December 2024

If you want a way to sample some of the most famous and/or best bites in Amsterdam this is your tour. Our tour guide Elise was lovely and the food we tried was plentiful and delicous. But, this is not a city tour in any way. We walked through one street market and ate at food stalls along the way. Dispte claims on the website, there weas no "highlights of the city" or "walk through Amstrdam's neigborhoods." Nor did we learn anything about Amsterdam's culture or history. Again, what we did was lovely it just was not quite what was advertised. This is a food tasting not a food tour

We didn’t know what to expect, especially since this was the first time we have used With Locals. From the beginning Aruna impressed us with his knowledge of Amsterdam. He knew small histories and delighted us with stories that you seldom hear during most tours. Every bite of food and drink came with a story that only added to the deliciousness. We would definitely recommend Aruna for anyone looking for a private tour. Best Private tour ever

This walking tour was one of the best decisions I took when I visited Amsterdam. Arun is not just a super knowledgeable tour guide, he is a great and kind human being too. He explained the history, and the present of every area we covered in a way that made us feel like we know his city so well too, a solid base for the rest of the days we spent there. I would recommend you to take this tour on the day of landing in Amsterdam, that would really be an amazing kickstart to your vacation. It really felt like we got a friend for life, in a new city, after spending few hours with him. In a nutshell, I would say, we had gem of a guide and fabulous experience. Must Do When You Are in Amsterdam.

My wife and I are thinking of moving to Amsterdam so our focus was on getting local knowledge on neighbourhoods. Carolina was fantastic on this and she gave us an in depth look on them. She is very familiar with Amsterdam and gave us insights on our primary purpose, and took us through some beautiful spots that aren't really apparent to tourists and maybe even some locals. The three hours whizzed by and we were inspired by our tour. Carolina is also engaging and fun to be with.Walking tour Carolina

She was well spoken (English) and well versed on the history of the area and windmills. She was very personable and took her job very seriously- ensuring we got the most out of our time with her. We’re definitely coming back to Amsterdam and will absolutely use her again for another tour!!!Amazing trip to see the windmills!

Olga is a friendly person with a great deal of knowledge about the city of Amsterdam. She pointed out various features of buildings that we would not have noticed ourselves. We stopped at Van Stapele for a tremendously tasty chocolate cookie. We never would’ve found this place on our own. We had lunch at a local restaurant and then in the afternoon we stopped in at Winkels for a delicious slice of apple pie. She taught me to say lekker which means delicious. We were able to enter the private gardens of several homes. It was amazing to compare the quietness of these gardens with the outside. We walked quite a bit, and Olga was very considerate about how we felt. To summarize., Although I cannot mention everything that we saw Olga made sure that we received a wonderful background as to the City. I recommend her highly for future tours of Amsterdam. A fun experience
