Experience the best of
Amsterdam with Withlocals

"We met Elvina at exactly the time scheduled. She was very welcoming and gave us a brief overview of what to expect and off we went! From the touristy areas and red light district all the way to the zoo and all the way to the end of our tour which we whole heartedly agreed to, to the windmill! She is so knowledgeable, so friendly, and had details of Amsterdam and its history that we never would have experienced otherwise. We booked this tour for our first day in Amsterdam and strongly recommend you do the same! We prefer to experience how locals enjoy their home rather than just tourist areas. This experience fulfilled our wish. Thank you so much Elvina! You were our bright spot! "

"Exceptional historian and well versed on the history of the various artists. "

"Elvina was our tour guide on a city walk tour. Walking around and getting to know the city much better was our goal when we booked this tour, personally for our family we prefer someone who is easygoing and she was just that. "

"Anna was a great guide for us. She was easy to contact, prompt, and flexible allowing us to change we the tour start location. This was critical because walking is a challenge for my husband. She has a great knowledge of the city and the history. Her advice was also helpful for the rest of our stay in the area. Thanks Anna!"

"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."

"Rolf is an amazing art historian guide with incredible knowledge of Rijksmuseet and all its treasures. Rolf took us around to all the highlights, gave us a lot of background to and details of all the art whether they were paintings, statues, glass ware, silver ware or doll houses. I think I will never look at a painting the same way again, now I know what to look for! Rolf is very enthusiastic and passionate about art and we all had an amazing time. We completely forgot about time as it was so enchanting walking around listening to him. Thank you Rolf - you made my parents very happy and our visit very special. "

"Annet was fantastic. She took us to all the place we hadn't seen yet and showed us some spots we know we would never have found on our own. She was wonderful to share her knowledge and expertise in photography and we were able to capture some amazing photos of beautiful Amsterdam with her guidance. Thank you Annet!"

"We had the pleasure of taking a biking tour with Sebastian on our first day in Amsterdam, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions we made. Sebastian was incredibly knowledgeable—not just about the city’s rich history, but also its culture, community, and politics. He gave us a fascinating, well-rounded perspective that went far beyond the typical tourist narrative. Navigating Amsterdam’s bustling bike lanes can be intimidating, but Sebastian made us feel completely safe and confident. His guidance was clear and patient, and his passion for the city really shone through. We were able to cover far more ground than we ever could have on foot, and it gave us a perfect introduction to the city’s layout and neighborhoods. What we appreciated most was how the tour helped us get our bearings right away. After the tour, we found ourselves revisiting many of the spots Sebastian introduced us to—this time with a better understanding of their significance. If you're visiting Amsterdam, don’t miss a chance to tour the city with Sebastian. It was a highlight of our trip!"

"Mayra was an excellent and energetic tour guide with an incredible knowledge of the food scene in Amsterdam. She was the perfect host for our multigenerational family and easily accommodated all our food allergies. This tour is a must when visiting Amsterdam!"

"My husband and I really enjoyed our food tour with Elvina. She was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She had a full plan with reservations and everything was timed well. We never felt rushed. She shared many facts about Amsterdam and was patient with our questions. We both highly recommend a tour with Elvina. "
