We had a wonderful private tour with Ana and would highly recommend the experience. From the beginning, she was warm, welcoming and genuinely interested in getting to know us. The itinerary was flexible and personalised, allowing us to explore at a comfortable pace without ever feeling rushed. Ana shared interesting stories about Dutch history and local life, while keeping the experience relaxed and conversational. The electric Audi was extremely comfortable, and the whole day felt more like exploring the Netherlands with a local friend than taking a traditional organised tour. It was a personal, authentic and memorable experience.
Ana is a lovely guide. Polite, easy-going and flexible. She came prepared with umbrellas for the rain and allowed us to choose our itinerary on the go, offering suggestions if we asked. I would book again in a heartbeat.
Ana gave us one of the best tours we ever had. Relaxed and with loads of historical and cultural curiosities, it is just the right program for a couple with a child
This was by far one of the best tours I’ve ever done in Europe! The experience was incredible from start to finish, and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Ana is an amazing guide — friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and truly passionate about what she does. She made the whole experience feel special and relaxed, while also sharing so many interesting stories and insights. The car was also super comfortable, which made the journey even more enjoyable, especially when visiting different places throughout the tour. If you’re looking for a fantastic tour with an exceptional guide, comfortable transportation, and a truly memorable experience, don’t hesitate to book with Ana. Absolutely loved it!
Ana is an exceptional guide. She is warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the Netherlands with her guests. We felt comfortable from the first minute and enjoyed every conversation along the way. We highly recommend this tour!
The perfect way to explore outside Amsterdam. The electric car was quiet, comfortable, and made the journey through the countryside even more enjoyable
This was not just a sightseeing tour — it felt like spending a day with a local who truly loves her country. Ana created a relaxed and personalized experience, showing us beautiful places while sharing stories that brought the Netherlands to life.
A wonderful private tour with Ana! She was friendly, professional, and made us feel like we were exploring the Netherlands with a local friend. The electric car was very comfortable, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced between famous sights and hidden gems. A highlight of our Amsterdam trip!
This couldn't have been a better experience. First time in Amsterdam, and i am always skeptical on these tours but Ana gave us one of the best we ever had. Relaxed and with loads of historical and cultural curiosities, it is just the right program for a couple with a child. Thank you Ana, for a lovely experience.
The private format allowed us to explore at a relaxed pace and made the experience much more personal. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Amsterdam who wants to discover some of the Netherlands' most iconic sights in comfort and style.
Ana is such a good guide and what an experience! I only had a morning to spend oustide Amsterdam but I really wanted to know a bit more besides AMS, so this 4 hour trip was just it. 💞😌 Great experience with Ana. Such a warm speaker and in love with Marken and Volendam. Great views while we drove from AMS to Marken and then to Volendam!
Our first time in the Netherlands and could not have asked for a better guide. Ana is friendly and considerate, and my family loved to spend a few hours with her. Tour well planned, safe and excellent value for money. Ana became a true local, and showed us around, giving us the gems of this amazing city. Do not miss it!
Wonderful experience in Amsterdam with Ana, tour also in Portuguese, quite inquisitive, fun, clear in the information and punctual at the beginning and end of the tour. Demonstrated a lot of knowledge about the tourist sights visited. Super well recommended guide
Thanks for the experience. It's great to be able to speak Portuguese with Ana. I loved Marken surrounded by water and fish in Volendam:)
