We enjoyed a day with Tommie as our guide in Amsterdam. He was personable and thoughtful and simply full of many aspects of the city. Architectural insights, city history, commentary on events, holiday traditions, good restaurants, and an amazing list of hidden gems, ie special insights that he has observed over the years. He is fluent in 6-7 languages and is a very competent piano player. He made it clear to us up front that he was a high functioning person with asbergers. We felt that disability was never a problem at all. His encyclopedic understanding of Amsterdam was a big plus. His tour was outstanding.Excellent Tour Guide

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

(About local Tommi)

6 November 2024

I booked Tommi for a three hour walking tour of Amsterdam, and it turned out brilliantly. Tommi was on time at the meeting point, a good way to start. We walked a short distance to one of the main streets and then on the train station. Even at these first two sights Tommi was full of knowledge and information much more than just the obvious history. We went on to cover many other places of interest before taking a short metro ride and having lunch at a lovely old villa/mansion house. Again, he was very informative and amusing. He also checked in with me a couple of times to make sure we were covering things that interested me. Tommi has absolutely perfect English, and also showed a lot of curiosity as to my background and country (Australia). I would book him again for sure. Tommi is a star

(About local Tommi)

25 September 2024

Our decision to take the "with locals" tour was very much a last minute one and we generally don't take organized tours. This afternoon was truly special and memorable. Tommi met us close to Centraale Station and very quickly had sized up what sort of tour he felt that we would enjoy. We learned about the modern history of the Centraale Station and the impact that it has had on the general growth and evolution of Amsterdam along with how it fits into the support of the bicycle as the city's predominant form of transport. All of this in his interactive and fun style of sharing his impressions and love of the city. There were a number of hidden treasures that he shared with us.. that we are sworn to secrecy as they are after all hidden. We left the tour with a great overview of Amsterdam as well as confidence in taking the wonderful transit system that you have. We can only give him the greatest recommendation as an insightful and fun guide as well as remarkable person. Incredible tour, a truly remarkable guide.
