Hi there! Nice to meet you

Elvina

My name is Elvina. I have a Bachelor degree in International Tourism Management.

As a tour guide, I go beyond the typical tourist paths to show you the real essence of the city. Unlike traditional guides, I don't overwhelm with history. I do share historical insights, but my focus is on Dutch culture, local life, language, local food and drinks and showing both highlights and local gems to make your experience in Amsterdam so special.

Traveling and learning about new cultures are my passions. Been to 54 countries. Not surprisingly, I became a tour guide in Amsterdam to show it to the city guests and share my love for Amsterdam and knowledge about Dutch culture.

Elvina took our lead as we expressed that we preferred less touristy areas and more genuine neighbourhoods and experiences. We loved the Plantage area with all its greenery and plant life, the brewery and the holocaust memorial.

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!

A relaxing half day trip with Elvina is a good choice - she’s very knowledgeable about the area and gave us a bunch of good behind the scenes stories for the attractions.A nice trip

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

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

We made a very last minute booking with Elvina and we are glad we did! Elvina showed us many interesting sites, and gave us lots of interesting information we had not yet heard about. She also took us to some favorite local establishments for us to purchase their popular fare, and was very concerned with our safety throughout the tour. Fun morning!Interesting & Fun Tour
