Diana is Adaptable
"We spent a great day with Diana. We had booked a tour to Zaanse Schans, Volendam & Edam. As we started our drive to the country, Diana mentioned that this area was very crowded with tourists. We immediately told her - not for us! She pulled over, reset her GPS and took us to see an active windmill at Schermethorn. There were about 6 other tourists there. We visited delightful villages, had lunch in De Rijp and stopped at Simonehoeve, a traditional cheese farm to sample and purchase Gouda cheese. Again, very few tourists. A delightful end to our visit to the Netherlands."

Walling Amsterdam with Elvina
"We had a wonderful time with Elvina. She was fun, funny and very informative. The tour was excellent and we are so glad we went with her. A splendid tour of Amsterdam. She was great!!"
"After 5 minutes of Annet’s walking tour, I started to feel like I had just reconnected with an old friend. She is so personable and easygoing, I almost forgot I was on a tour. We seamlessly walked through several neighborhoods, all the while, being taught some history, culture and getting a glimpse of everyday life in Amsterdam. Aware of my tight timeframe, Annet completed our tour in front of my hotel."
"This was my first time using Withlocals, and I had a great experience. The tour was smooth and enjoyable. I really enjoyed listening to Elvina's explanations and learning more about the places we visited. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour very interesting. Highly recommended!"
"We had a great tour with Annet this week. We were a party of 4 and enjoyed the benefit of a small tour and not with a large group. Annet was very informative and could answer the many questions we had about life in the Netherlands.
The tour of the Windmill Village was breathtaking.
This was my first time to the Netherlands and seeing the windmills so close and learning the history was wonderful.
I would highly recommend this tour with Annet!"
"Annet was lovely! She took us to a lot of great spots that we would not have known about. My husband is an amateur photographer and she made sure he got great shots! She is a wealth of knowledge about the city. "
"Arun was a fabulous tour guide. His knowledge of the Windmills, and the history of Amsterdam was relevant to us being from the United States and fascinating. I would highly recommend Arun for any tour."
"My wife and I had two tours with Olga - a 4 hour city walking tour and a 6 hour trip to Zaanse Shans, Edam and Volendam. Olga was fun to be with, and very knowledgeable about all of the sites we visited. The pace was perfect. The narrative was filled with historical facts and interesting stories, without ever being too much. I strongly recommend touring with Olga if you get the chance."
