Feel the Magic and the Romance of Amsterdam with your lover on an intimate Boat through the Amsterdam canals for 45 min. Through love stories, a playlist of songs and a specially curated route I will let you feel the hidden magic and romance of Amsterdam!
During this winter night, there is more excitement in Amsterdam’s center than you might expect. For a brief time during winter, the breathtaking landscape of the historic city center is transformed by 20 light installations scattered across the canals just waiting to be discovered.
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.

Great canal tour
My daughter and I booked this private canal tour and were lucky enough to have Valentine as our guide. We had such a lovely time despite the chilly weather and the 90 minutes passed quickly. We can't wait to come back and visit again soon.

Insiring garden bike tour
Naomi designed a beautiful garden tour. From local neighborhood gardens to an elementary school garden we learned how people are gardening to improve the diversity of the insects and plants that can improve the quality of life for all. Gardens become a safe place for children to gather and learn how to locally produce food and beauty. Thank you Naomi for showing us this side of Amsterdam!

Very cool view of the city
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!

Wonderful personalised canal tour
Vanessa was a delight! She was friendly, knowledgeable and interacted well with my kids. She personalised the tour and was sure to point out landmarks and discuss history that interested everyone. She had great suggestions of attractions and sights that might interest us. Her boat is lovely and gave us a wonderful perspective of Amsterdam.
