Had a lovely trip with Vanessa on her comfortable boat exploring the canals (including the smaller ones inaccessible to the bigger tourist boats) and the Amstel river. She embodies why we like “With locals” so much as it felt like the trip was with a friend rather than a tour guide. We were super impressed by her relaxed but expert boat skills. A fantastic trip and recommended.

we are thankful to met Mariëlle, she is a wonderful, very kind, careful, interactive knowledgeable mind. we really have appreciated our journey and tour with her, we highly recommend any city guide adventure with her and would do it agin and again and again. thank you Mariëlle Bine, Doris, Karl & Mike

We really enjoyed the tour with Mariëlle. We appreciated all the information she shared with us about the history and life in Utrecht and the route allowed to cover a very interesting set of sites and locations. We enjoyed our borrel and it was a really pleasant exchange. It was a very nice way for us to discover Utrecht and an excellent starting point to our stay. Thank you Mariëlle.

Despite rain and chilly night air we had a wonderful time w Vanessa and Paul. It was more leisurely that the larger boats. We had a more interactive discussion with them about the neighborhoods we glided thru and when they took us to the closest wharf for us to catch a taxi back to our hotel they made sure we were in the taxi before returning to their boat. Top notch service!

A wonderful, personalized tour suitable for a family (2 adults and 2 teenagers). Very informative, relaxed and good fun. Would recommend.

We had an incredible experience on our tour!! They adjusted for our kids and shared a lot of incredible insights on Amsterdam.

We had a wonderful time meeting Edo and having him introduce us to the beautiful city of Utrecht! He was warm, accommodating and provided us with tailored information that we needed on how to navigate the area. Also, great stories were told! Thank you Edo.

Vanessa’s tour was an absolute JOY! Beautiful boat - just the perfect size to get into the smaller canals - and very enjoyable conversation with our family of four - it was informative, friendly, and fun! Highly recommended!!!

I booked this trip with a group of colleagues from different countries. Vanessa took us through the old city and all the old canals in about 1 1/2 hours. Definitely the quickest and coolest way to show Amsterdam to my colleagues. Much preferred from the larger tourist boat attractions. Thank you Vanessa!

Vanessa gave us a great tour through the grachten of amsterdam at dusk. It was perfectly tailored to our needs and very private and informative.
