Kawika was an excellent tour guide! He shared lots of history and interesting stories with us while we toured. He answered all our questions and showed us things we wouldn’t have found on our own. He also gave us great suggestions on other sights to see and things to do. We highly recommend touring with Kawika!Happy Travelers

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!

Kawika was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and shared a list of tailored recommendations for our group that really went above and beyond.

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!

Kawika was a great guide to show us all of the major sites around the center of Amsterdam! He was on time, actually early!, and met all of the requirements for sites we wanted to see. He did a great job of tailoring the tour to our needs and was very knowledgeable when we had questions. I’d contact him again the next time we are in town. Thanks Kawika!Great guide and overview of Amsterdam!

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!

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

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!

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

Kawika made us feel comfortable even before our tour started by learning our interests up front to customize our tour. He had impeccable knowledge of the area and its history. He didn’t just rattle off facts but wove them into our conversation. He had ready answers to our questions and shared personal experiences to enhance our understanding. He was a great resource for suggestions of things to do and how to navigate the city. We couldn’t have found a better way to learn about Amsterdam.

Kawika was beyond knowledgeable and shared his stories in a fun and engaging manner. He speaks perfect English as he grew up in the States and truly made our first afternoon in Amsterdam a fabulous experience. If you want to learn not only what all the other guides are teaching, but hear the behind the scenes stories, Kawika is your guide!Excellent in Every Respect

We wanted some help on our visit to the Rijksmuseum. Arun had a great depth of knowledge about the principal works and artists that really enhanced our understanding. Our 9-year-old grandson still became bored, but the adults were captivated. Great way to visit the Rijksmuseum

Our time with Kawika was awesome. His love and passion for Amsterdam showed through his knowledge and understanding of its amazing history, its architecture, its art and its people. We are a family of 4, with 11 and 15 year old boys - they stayed engaged the entire time and Kawika answered all 1,000 questions they had, with pleasure. We would rebook in a heartbeat. A Great Couple of Days

Kawika was knowledgable and enthusiastic about everything we saw. He showed us the artwork we wanted to see and introduced us to things we otherwise would have bypassed. He's a great example of someone who's able to do something he genuinely loves, and he does it well. Thanks, again, Kawika!Great guide for the Rijksmuseum

Kawika is a thoughtful, resourceful and knowledgeable guide. He knows Amsterdam and lead us on a thorough route that covered all the neighborhoods we wanted to see. He has insight and knowledge of local history, culture, public policy and provided context that was understandable. It was easy to contact and communicate with Kawika before, during and after the tour. We loved the little known areas he took us to and architectural facts he shared. All of his commercial recommendations were all on point. It was a solid tour.Pleasant Walking Tour

We had an absolutely wonderful experience touring Amsterdam yesterday with Kawika!! He was very knowledgeable about the local history, architecture and culture, making the tour both informative and engaging. It was impressive that we were able to see so much and yet it was really relaxed. We really appreciated how Kawika tailored the tour to our interests. Kawika was very attentive and always willing to answer our questions, ensuring that we had a thoroughly enjoyable and insightful tour. I would highly recommend Kawika to anyone visiting Amsterdam!Amazing tour with Kawika

Melanie🇺🇸 United States

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

Arun picked us up at our hotel for our 3 hour walking tour. He taylored the tour to our interests, needs, and walking speeds. 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!

Pam🇺🇸 United States

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?

Pam🇺🇸 United States

Arun gave us a wonderful walking tour of Amsterdam. We scheduled it for our first day in the city- to get acclimated and to keep mov on g before the jet lag took us down! It was just the right length and Arun was extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history. Highly recommend!

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

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

Der Tour hat uns viele Facetten von Amsterdam gezeigt. Vielen Dank, Arunabha, für deine gemütliche Begleitung. Mir war es nicht bekannt dass das Sexgeschäft in dieser Stadt gut geregelt ist. Ich finde, jeder Erstbesucher soll diesen Tour machen.Amsterdams Rotlichtviertel kennenlernen

Arunabha was a fantastic guide. We got a bit turned around and ended up at the wrong location. Arunabha waited for us and gave us the full experience. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about Amsterdam, the red light district and even the connection between New York and Amsterdam. The tour seemed tailored made for us. No question went unanswered. I would 100% recommend. New York to New Amsterdam

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.

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

Such a good tour with Arunabha. He was so knowledgeable and really made connections with our kids and family by telling us how Amsterdam was linked to our home town of New York. We learned so much about the history of the city - Arunabha answered all our many questions with depth and real world examples- such a great tour. Highly recommend and thank you!!Amsterdam after Christmas

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

Arun was very knowledgeable, answering all of our questions, no matter the subject. We loved the eclectic food choices, combined with the history of how they became popular in Amsterdam. We chose to walk everywhere, but he kindly offered a metro option. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide!Wonderful mix of history and snacks!

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.
