Hey there! I'm Wendy, your friendly host in Amsterdam! Café-hopping is my ultimate joy. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with newfound friends is a part of Amsterdam's lifestyle that I adore. Venturing into art galleries and museums, I'm transported to worlds created by brilliant minds. Whether in the cozy corners of Jordaan or amidst the buzz of the City Centre, I've unraveled the secrets of these neighborhoods. What truly sets my heart aflutter is unearthing those hidden gems. I've made it my mission to uncover the spots that don't make it to the travel brochures—the local eateries where "lekker" takes on a whole new meaning. Join me on this exhilarating journey through Amsterdam's soul. Let's embrace the canal-draped vistas, the tapestry of lifestyles, and the flavors that dance on our taste buds. See you soon!

My reviews

Wendi was fantastic. She really focused the tour on our wants, including stopping for specialty food when we wanted, allowing us time to shop along the way, and listening to our feedback to change the tour as we went along. She also showed us some great hidden gems!

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!!

This tour was lovely and catered to my likes/dislikes with more added to it. I did schedule a 6 hour tour and I think it could have been done in 4 hours. I will say, it was nice to see a few extra things and go at a slow pace. My guide, Wendy was very pleasant and knowledgeable. If you have doubts, please do not and book the tour!

Wendy was an outstanding guide for my clients’ Amsterdam tour! Her communication with me as their travel agent before the trip was exceptional, which set the stage for a seamless experience. My clients were absolutely thrilled with the custom tour she created specifically for them based on a pre-departure questionnaire form—it was everything they needed to adjust to city. I was impressed with Wendy’s professionalism and attention to detail, and I will definitely continue booking with this company. Wendy will be our go-to guide for future trips. Thank you for such an amazing experience for my clients!
