Rijksmusem Expert

We had a great time with Anna at the Rijksmuseum. My friend and I have been there many times, so Anna customized our tour to focus on unique things that we haven't seen before or that we wanted to learn more about. Our two hours went by so quickly! We will definitely book again to explore areas of the museum we wish to learn about more in depth. Thank you Anna!

Private Guides in Amsterdam

  • The perfect way to see a city will always be through its locals. So why not have one as your private guide? Our hosts offer tons of city tours for easily accessible prices to almost all budgets out there and a great variety of activities. Today, not only are our private guides available to all, but almost always a necessity to make the most out of a trip. So why get a private guide in Amsterdam?
  • Kickstart Your Trip in only 40 minutes
    From those who just starts traveling to those who have been traveling since they were toddlers, almost everyone has experienced the slight excitement that comes with the unknown of a new city. Which neighborhood shouldn't I miss? Where can I eat best? Will the waiter expect a tip? How do I buy a ticket for the train/metro?
  • The amounts of written travel guides on these topics and many more are endless, but the second they are published they are already outdated by one second. Getting a private guide in Amsterdam means saving hours googling, searching for information desks, and a lot of stress. With anything as simple as a 40 minute activity with your Amsterdam private guide you could have all the information you need for the rest of your trip and a new acquaintance! Yes, it really is that simple!

  • Experience the Full Potential of Amsterdam
    If you discovered an incredible restaurant, a very cute park, or a hidden gem of a museum you'd want to keep it to yourself, right? The fact that these are hidden places also means that most travel guides and travel agencies will usually skip them to be able to cover all the other main attractions in Amsterdam. By getting a private guide in Amsterdam you are getting exclusive access to information that only true locals have, which not only means discovering hidden treasures in the city, but might also mean being able to explore areas that are not overwhelmingly crowded by tourists. Make sure you get to the best things to do in Amsterdam with our guides!
  • Don't Settle for the supermarket Stroopwafels
    If you're planning a trip to Amsterdam it is likely that you've already been introduced to Stroopwafels, the heavenly caramel cookie creation that Dutchies have perfected over the years. These pieces of heaven turned cookies can be found everywhere in Amsterdam but do not let them fool you! Supermarket Stroopwafels have nothing on warm, just-made, soft goodies that only the most local markets can provide you with. With these come endless other goodies that typically only locals know about, and the best way not to miss out is to have recommendations by the most experienced Stroopwafel eaters: your own private Amsterdam guide.
