Anna’s tour was a highlight of our trip. We especially appreciated her knowledge, warm personality, and offering tours with customizable durations and itineraries.
This was an excellent tour of Amsterdam. Anna was fantastic. She gave us a lot of great information about the history and culture of the city. She has a lot of great hidden gems. Anna also provided great information on restaurants and sites to explore during our visit. I would recommend taking this tour early on during your stay so you can use these recommendations. We took the three hour tour and I feel it was a nice length of time to explore.
Anna was fabulous & catered our walk to the things we like. Seeing the city through the eyes of a local, walking the not so populated streets, seeing the amazing architecture, fantastic restaurants & cafes to visit and the beautiful Vondel park. It was an extremely pleasant 3 hour walk around Amsterdam & we would highly recommend Anna.
Anna is a fantastic guide! She is extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of tailoring the tour to our circumstances and adjusting on the fly as she learned more about our interests. This was a great way to get introduced to Amsterdam!
Anna helped us navigate around Amsterdam and avoid the red district and sketchy zones. Provided history and insights into everyday life and recommendations appropriate for teens. Along with helping us pick tulips and cheese as souvenirs.
Anna was our guide. She communicated with us prior to the tour to get our preferences. We learned the history of the city and got to see some amazing things we would not have seen on our own, as well as getting a feel for the city while walking through it.
A great localized tour experience with Anna. She has very good language and is well versed with all hidden gem places of the town. All her suggestions and recommendations were top notch.
Anna is a charming, friendly person who clearly loves Amsterdam. She customized the tour to meet our interests. It was a pleasure to spend time with her.
Hanna was very knowledgeable, very friendly and very professional. She showed me a side of Amsterdam where the Dutch live and play away from the touristic areas which is exactly what I wanted. I will recommend her to my friends!
ANNA was so accommodating knowledgeable and new the perfect places to take us. She was lovely inside and out and after never being to amsterdam we have a wealth of details to enjoy our visit. Thankyou anna.
Anna was FANTASTIC! We did not know what we should be looking for in what was a new city for us, so she showed us the top spots and some hidden gems that we would never have thought to find. She asked many questions for feedback on pace and what we wanted to do. I would highly recommend her!
Anna was very knowledgeable, experienced, friendly. She was an asset to our first time in Amsterdam and wife and I would highly recommend her.
Anna was a wonderful tour guide! She took us to some of the older sections of Amsterdam and gave us a great overview of history, architecture and art. We would definitely recommend her to anyone coming to the city. Very well educated and well spoken!
I had an amazing time on the personalized tour with Anna! She has a wonderful eye for art and architecture and tailored the tour perfectly to our interests and what was happening in the city. She also gave me great tips for getting around and great recommendations. Her English is clear and fluent, and she made the tour fun and enjoyable.
Anna was polite, knowledgeable and catered the tour to our interests. We walked around all of the main sites in Amsterdam at a comfortable pace. All of our questions were answered. My only complaint is that if you were not walking right next to Anna you could not hear what she was saying as she is quite soft spoken. We took turns walking next to her and asking questions. We had a great time.
Anna was terrific. She has a wonderful artistic and architectural appreciation and adjusted the tour to our interests and what was happening in Amsterdam (Sail 25). She also gave us great advice on getting around the city and nearby restaurants. Her English was perfect and very fluent. Absolutely 5 stars!
Very nice young artist with a keen interest in history, very good English, beautiful hidden tranquille spots discovered, useful recommendations given with personal insight
A lively experience with a knowledgeable tour guide: Anna. She offered to optimize our experience since we had kids in our tour and was accommodating to things we wanted to experience. We would recommend.
We had a wonderful time with Anna! She was articulate, informative and shared not only the ‘usual’ local flavor but hidden gems! Not going to say what those are; you’ll have to book a tour with Anna to find out!
Having never been to Amsterdam, we were looking for an introduction to the area. Our guide, Anna was wonderful! We learned so much about Amsterdam and she shared her love of the city with us. We braved the rains together and had a lovely afternoon! Not only did we learn a lot of history about the area, Anna gave us many recommendations for food and shopping, plus lots of tidbits about the neighborhoods, culture and specialties. It was everything we wanted! I highly recommend it! Thanks Anna!
Anna did such a great job for our 6 hour tour we did in Amsterdam. She asked many questions ahead of time to find out our interests and we saw so much more than we would have even known to look for! She is a kind and knowledgeable guide and we are happy to recommend her😀
Anna made it really special! My Amsterdam tour with Anna was amazing. She is not only very knowledgeable and gave a very thorough and informative tour but also by tailoring it to my interests made it an unforgettable experience for me. I know so much more about Amsterdam’s history and special areas because she showed them to me. She is very sweet, kind and an overall great tour guide. I recommend a private tour with Anna to everyone!
Anna was an amazing guide! She took all of the questionnaire answers we submitted and tailor-made the perfect tour for me and 2 of my adult children (who have very different likes). We enjoyed her tour immensely!
Anna was an amazing guide for the Private Local Tour. She showed me parts of the city that only a local could know. She is a lovely person with a terrific personalty & love for her city.
Anna was a great guide. We loved her insights about Amsterdam! She was super flexible and took us to some hidden gems that only a local would know.
Anna created our personalized tour based on our interests. We visited historical sites, the red light district (a must!), and several hidden gems. It was perfect for us and we had fun! Thank you Anna!
Our guide Ana was lovely, knowledgeable and patient with my husband’s limited mobility. We visited the local gems we would likely have missed without a guide.
Anna was the perfect walking guide! She aligned with our pacing, was super informative, and was extremely personable. We'll never forget our time with her in Amsterdam.
This was such a chill, laid back tour perfect for a cloudy, rainy day in Amsterdam. Anna reached out ahead of time to gauge our likes and interests to plan a tour to best suite us! We met at an easy location and she even double checked about what we wanted to see before we started. She was a wealth of information and could answer any questions we had. I appreciated that she took us to see a lot of ‘hidden gems’ as well as some of the more touristy areas. We ended the tour near a really cool theater turned cinema and even ended up seeing a movie when we were done since it was a rainy day - the inside of the theater was beautiful! We also really liked the flower market where we got some great gifts/souvenirs to take back home. Overall it was a great day and an awesome way to see and learn about Amsterdam!
Anna was absolutely amazing! She gave us a fantastic tour filled with hidden gems and local secrets we would’ve never found on our own. Amsterdam is truly beautiful, and this tour is hands down the best way to discover its charm!
Anna was fabulous! Very knowledgeable! Lots of info on Amsterdam’s history, food scene and the local spots. I would recommend her for a tour. Tim & Melinda Cape Cod
Anna was great! She was very responsive and tried to include everything on the list we had sent her ahead of time. Her stories were quite interesting and we learned so much more than we would have by walking around by ourselves. Would definitely recommend her!!
Our entire experience with Anna was fantastic. Prior to our arrival she communicated to learn exactly what our interests were and was therefore able to cater our tour to our tastes. She showed us many highlights of the city and also hidden gems that we would never have seen had she not shown us. Anna was fantastic and definitely helped make our visit to Amsterdam memorable.
ANNET is excellent. 1st she send us a questionnaire to make sure she will cover all our interests. Yesterday we had the 4 hour tour, we not only cover all Amsterdam must see on top she gave us recommendations of restaurants, museums and local places according to our preferences. I can say it make a Big difference she even teach us how to take the public transportation. Important she does not rush us and was very accommodating. We have done many many walking tours and she came in our mind among the best ever. Hiring her will be the best investment to start enjoying Amsterdam from minute one. Big thanks and for sure will recommend her to all our family and friends
Anna was very accommodating to my slower pace due to a knee injury. She customized our tour to cover historical buildings and their architecture, we talked about socio economic issues, the local food, visited a church where a miracle had occurred and was depicted in the art and stained glass -beautiful! She even showed us how the tram worked and we went for a short ride to one of our destinations.Anna also made suggestions regarding other places to visit and restaurants to try. Great tour!
I had the pleasure of having Anna as my tour guide in Amsterdam, and I can’t recommend her enough! She was incredibly friendly, well-organized, and made me feel completely at ease as a solo traveler. Anna struck the perfect balance between showing me the must-see popular spots and taking me to some hidden gems that only locals seem to know about. Her knowledge of the city was impressive, and she shared so many interesting facts and stories along the way that really brought the experience to life. Beyond just being a great guide, we built a genuine connection, which made the tour feel even more special. If you're traveling solo (or even with a group), Anna is the guide you want by your side in Amsterdam!
Anna was great!! She showed us exactly what we requested and her taste in food and shopping and her tips allowed us to continue comfortably on our own. She has an excellent demeanor and was awesome with my teen daiughter too. We are planning to use her again! Highly recommend.
Private walking tour of Amsterdam with Anna as the tour guide. The communication with Anna before the tour to know about our preferences for the tour was on point. We had the three hour walking tour. We walked through the Red District, Canals, Royal Palace, Jordaan Neighborhood, Begijnhof, Floating flower market (Bloemenmarket), Our Lord in the Attic Museum, among other points of interests and Churches. During the walk, Anna told us about the history, recommended places to eat, walked through a book market, visited a bookshop and purchased delicious cookies (Van Stapele), We also visited places like the Cinema with its beautiful centenary architecture. We had a great morning with Anna and wholeheartedly recommend this private tour.
December 2019 We had the most amazing time. We travel often and this was one of the most wonderful tour we have taken. The care and knowledge shared was fabulous!
The quality of a tour is determined by the tour guide and Anna is hands down the best guide I've had the pleasure of spending time with in all of my travels. First, we ran into a storm while biking to the meeting point and Anna was very understanding and accommodated even though we arrived very late. Even in the rain, the tour was rich and very enjoyable, Anna has such feel knowledge and great appreciation for the city and it really showed. In addition, she is such a genuinely warm person with a big heart and was easy to connect with and feel at ease. Many tours feel scripted and overly structured, but this tour was very personalized. Anna was conversational and interested in our own personal stories and even willing to adjust the tour plan as we went along to tailor it to our hopes and interests. I definitely recommend this tour to other travelers!
I had a wonderful time with Anna on my tour of Amsterdam. Anna is incredibly knowledgeable about the city, very personable and easy to talk with and had a number of great recommendations for things to do both during the tour and for things I could do after with my remaining time in the city. I would highly recommend Anna for anyone looking for a guided tour through Amsterdam.
For my second visit to Amsterdam, booking Anna again was an easy choice. She already felt like a local friend from my first trip, and this time, she showed me even more hidden gems, places I wouldn’t have found on my own. With every tour, I feel like I get to know the city on a deeper level, and I love how natural it feels to be here. Anna has a way of making every experience feel personal and effortless. She’s not just showing sights, she’s sharing stories, passions, and the little details that make Amsterdam so special. I already have plans to explore Haarlem with her next, and I can’t wait! Her tours are warm, patient, and full of care, I wouldn’t want to explore with anyone else.
We had the most wonderful time with Anna. She is very knowledgeable and attuned to the parts of Amsterdam that most interested us. I highly recommend her. We feel we now have a trusted friend in Amsterdam.
Anna is a most wonderful guide. I can’t say enough good things . She has a wonderful calm and welcoming demeanor. She takes delight in making a personal tour, paying close attention to her clients interests. She knows so much about the history of the city and loves sharing it . She will help you find all the sites you are interested in and will teach you many surprises about your surroundings. I think she learns as much as her clients, as it’s clear she loves Amsterdam and all it has to offer.
Anna was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and helpful. We're looking forward to coming back to Amsterdam and booking time with Anna again!
Anna was very nice and responded to our interests for a great outing tailored to our interests on the day we arrived in Amsterdam. We got a great feel for several areas of the city. We even made a brief stop for herring from a street vendor. This type of tour was so much better than a large group. It was just the four of us: my wife, son and his fiancee. Great memories to start our visit with Anna as our guide.
Anna was our tour guide and she was outstanding! Highly recommend. She was very knowledgeable and had a wonderful personality. She also accommodated our various requests and answered all our questions.
We loved the personal tours ! Great tor tailored to our interests. Highly recommend. Paced to your specific interests!
I wanted someone to spend day one in Amsterdam with, so I’d know my way around for the remainder of my first solo trip, and Anna turned out to be the perfect host for me! She made me feel like she really understood my interests and cared for my comfort. She gave me a walking tour, showing me the streets she loves, the places she thought I would love and the charming, little details of the city which ordinarily most tourists might miss out on. She told me incredible stories and legends of old Amsterdam and showed me there’s so much more to the city than what meets the eye. Maybe it was because we have similar interests but Anna was no regular “tour guide”. She is warm and personal and I felt that we very quickly became two friends just walking around the city together.
