This was by far one of the BEST tours my husband and I have ever been on! We struck GOLD with Alan. While still hitting all the historic highlights of Amsterdam, Alan took us off the beaten path to show us his personal hidden gems – and they were AMAZING! From exploring an incredible local market to having a quick lunch at a Dutch institution, we walked through charming neighborhoods, admired breathtaking views, and discovered some of the best restaurants in the city. Alan’s knowledge, warmth, and hospitality made this experience unforgettable. We met a guide and left as friends. I highly recommend Alan and will definitely seek him out on our next trip to Amsterdam!

Jan was a wonderful guide and lead us on a fantastic tour of the city that was carefully planned for our family’s interests. We were also lucky enough to share a wonderful lunch with Jan as well. Jan not only has incredible knowledge of Amsterdam, but wonderful shopping and dining recommendations. Our 14 year old son loved the tour as well!

We had an amazing morning with Wendy. We opted for the 4 hour tour which was Ian ideal pace for us. Having arrived the day before, we were still a bit jet lagged. Arriving hungry, Wendy knew the perfect place for Dutch pancakes. We then explored the different parts of town. Noting our interests, Wendy took us to the flower market, to try herring, some historical spots and the Delph store. Couldn’t have asked for a better mix! Wendy was a delight!!

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Are experiences the same as tours?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I be able to speak to my host beforehand?

Yes. After we match you with your host, we’ll introduce you so you can chat about the plan and make any tweaks before the day.

How do you match me with a host?

We ask a few questions. After you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll then match you with the best local host to design your experience.

Can I request specific places to visit?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Absolutely! Whether you want a blend of food, history, local culture, or nightlife, your host will seamlessly weave them together into one immersive experience.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Yes. You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your experience date—no questions asked.
