Experience the best of
Leiden with Withlocals

"Mayra was great. She was friendly, knowledgeable and gave a great walking tour mostly through Albert Cuyp market. She had a plan but was flexible to adjust as needed. We tried some food that we never would have tried without a local guide that we are glad we experienced. She also covered some history of the area and provided some personal perspective. We would definitely recommend her as a guide. "

"During the Tour, we not only were able to sample the unique foods of Amsterdam, but we were provided with an educational understanding of how Amersterdam developed as a country and how it operates in the world's Global economy. "

"We very much enjoyed our 10 Tastings of Amsterdam tour with Marten. Marten was a great guide! Not only did he give us the an understanding of the food we were tasting, he also gave us so much knowledge and information about Dutch culture! He is very well versed in history, politics and culture. The three hour tour flew by as we discussed many topics between bites. Marten was very responsive to messages and accommodated our wish to end the tour near the Rijksmuesum. I would highly recommend Marten as your guide to Amsterdam. In addition to the food tour, I know he gives several other tours and I believe any of them would be an awesome experience!"

"Anastasia was all we expected and then some more; on time, professional and always looking after us. We learned, had fun and will be hiring her again when/if welcome back to Rotterdam. Hire her!"

"Our personal tour with Olga was awesome! She was so sweet and knowledgeable and made us feel super comfortable. She walked us around neighborhoods where locals hangout and took us to places that locals eat. everything was so good! Our favorite place was visiting the local food market in the neighborhood, it was super fun! We highly recommend Olga :)"

"Marten was an awesome tour guide for our introduction to Amsterdam. He was informed and shared interesting information about the city, its history, and its food. It was clear how much Marten loved Amsterdam, and how well he knew the various vendors at the market who shared their food with us. Additionally, he pointed out several vendors who were artists and we were able to get some beautiful jewelry and artwork. I highly recommend withlocals and definitely recommend Marten as a guide!"

"My wife and I spent a few hours with Anastasia on our first trip to Rotterdam. She was very energetic and knowledgeable and gave us a great understanding of the city."

"We had a wonderful food tasting tour of several of Amsterdam’s favorite specialties with Mayra on 8/17/23. Mayra was amazing! She was so knowledgeable, not only about the best food spots, but also about the city’s history, architecture and culture. She was able to customize the food selections based on our preferences, with a nice balance of savory and sweet, with an emphasis on the best local vendors for a truly authentic experience. Mayra’s congenial, personable and enthusiastic tour should not be missed! One of the highlights of our European trip."
