Elise was a great guide for our food tour!Great Experience

(About local Arunabha)

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

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! Linda. 7-15-25. Amazing

Olga met us on time and took us all around the city pointing out places to return to for various types of food, unique places in the city such as the new underwater bike parking space, and historical places, explaining the history of Amsterdam such as the tilted buildings and the development of the canals. We learned a lot and enjoyed her story telling about it all. Good history and local information

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!

Our group of 4 had a wonderful tour with Arunabha. We covered many steps and Arunabhas history of Amsterdam and Australia was amazing. He even taught us things about Australia that we didn't know! 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. Do yourselves a favor and book a tour! 3 hour tour of Amsterdam

Elvina was a great tour guide. She took use for a tour of Zaanse Schans, and I’m glad we had her or else we would have roamed around endlessly and not know about the hidden details of the windmills, and the knowledge of the local area. We even shouted her lunch afterwords. It was a great day out.Trip to Zaanse Schans

My father and I had already spent several days in Amsterdam doing most of the touristy stuff (museums, canal tour, etc) and to have a local like Olga share her expertise and knowledge helped elevate our time here. We had already seen most of the things she showed us, but never knew what it was. Many of the things she showed us were truly hidden gems you might read about in a guide book but never find on your own! Truly a worthwhile experience. Olga was super kind and showed us lots of good food spots as well (including the best Stroopwaffel and other things)! Olga is a must for booking this tour. Incredible experience

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!

We wanted someone to show us around the less-travelled NSDM area of Amsterdam. Elvina a was just great, had a good knowledge of the area and we really enjoyed our time. She was patient as we wandered through the museum and then directed us to a great restaurant and suggested a number of dishes to try. Ever helpful, on our departure, she suggested a number of places in central Amsterdam to eat and drink - and she was right, the one we made it to was wonderful. Thanks Elvina!Wonderful time spent with Elvina

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
