Christina and Julie (UK) about their Home Dinner with Carina and Albert in Amsterdam (February 2012)
Julie and I would like to thank you for arranging for us such a ‘gezellig’ evening with Carina and Albert. We had a wonderful time: warm welcome, superb food, excellent wines and so much to talk about! The evening sped by and all too soon it was time to say goodbye. We would have no hesitation in recommending ‘Dine with the Dutch’ to all our friends.
Golnaz Assan and Mohammad (Iran) about their Home Dinner with John and Tyra in Utrecht (November 2011)
Thanks for your matching. We had a really wonderful evening with them. Dinner was absolutely delicious and we so enjoyed getting to know them. They are so nice and hospitable.
The starter was fabulous and the wines were outstanding. Everything was delicious, including of course that amazing dessert that looked so professional I still can’t believe they MADE that. (..) We reach there very easily and after dinner we walked around Utrecht, the city was really beautiful.
Joseph Dulude (USA) about his Home Dinner with Annelies and Ruud (November 2011)
Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful evening it was. The food was delicious and the conversation was wonderful. I had a great night. Thank you so much for having this program in place!
Robin and Kuniaki (Japan) about their Home Dinner with Don and Benedict (September 2011)
We had a most enjoyable dinner with Don and Benedict. They are a fascinating couple with a wide range of interests and many different things to talk about. Their pipe collection is simply amazing. (…) From the moment that we arrived we felt most welcome, and our conversation just started from there, and continued almost uninterrupted throughout dinner which, by the way, was deliciously Dutch.

Carey (USA) about her Home Dinner with Hanneke and Michiel (August 2011)
Thank you!! I feel I have new friends, new food experiences, conversations that I’m STILL thinking about and a desire to come back to Amsterdam as soon as possible. For a single traveler like me, that was irreplaceable – feeling at home in a new city made all the difference. I can’t remember the last time I felt so challenged and accepted at the same time: that is a real gift the two of you have… is it Dutch? 
And as an American who claims her Dutch ancestry, I can think of no better way to start the search for connection. I know there’s so much to know and see in The Netherlands, but the people are who make it what it is today (…). I had an incredibly memorable time. I will be thinking about our conversations for some time to come. And that is also a gift. Thank you.
Liliane (Switzerland) about her Home Dinner with Ellen and Hanneke (July 2011)
Thanks again for the delicious meal and the unforgettable evening I could spend with you and Ellen. It is still very present on my mind.
The tram took me to the Dam, and of course no tram anymore to the westermarkt. In the darkness and rain I was lost for a moment, didn’t know which street to take. A police car was waiting at the red light to turn to green, so I asked them for the way. They invited me into the backseat – next to bulletproof vests and (?) knüppel – and drove me right to the hotel! One more unforgettable memory!
Claire and Peter (USA) about their Home Dinner with Eskil and Ronald (May 2011)
(…)We had a wonderful time. Eskil and Ronald were just great…..we loved the experience and will definitely recommend your program to anyone who asks.
Michael (USA) about his Home Dinner with Don and Benedict (February 2011)
Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing Don & Benedict’s impression. I had a fantastic evening that exceeded my expectations. I found both of them to be socially graceful as hosts and very easy and relaxed to speak with. Benedict cooked a wonderful meal.. however, the best part of the evening was the conversation and extraordinary company I had the pleasure of being with. I would highly recommend this concept to everyone.
Rita (Italy) about her Home Dinner with Barbara (February 2011)
Barbara is a lovely person and we had a really nice dinner. I enjoyed very much the meal and the atmosphere was that one of a warm girls evening! (..) Thank you very much
Ditte and Judith (Denmark) about their Home Dinner with Don and Benedict (October 2010)
(..) We recommend Dine with the Dutch to every person we talk to, it made our trip to Amsterdam very special.
Myla and Darren (Canada) about their Home Dinner with Sascha and Bert (October 2010)
We want to let you know we had a fabulous dinner at Sascha & Bert’s house. Our experience in their home was beyond our expectations. Sascha is a wonderful cook and they listen to great music and both a delight to get to know. The dinner was one of the most memorable highlights of our trip. Thank you so much for the services your website offered, you did a great job matching us up with some interesting people…and hopefully some friends for life!!
Brian and Cache (USA) about their Home Dinner with Hanneke and Michiel (October 2010)
Hanneke and Michiel, thank you again for a wonderful evening. We had an amazing time, and
I know I personally learned a ton and now have a lot to research and study. It was a very engaging and engrossing discussion and I enjoyed every moment of it. Cheers!
Lucy and Sidney (USA) about their Home Dinner with Wim and Marja (August 2010)
This was absolutely fabulous! We had a wonderful dinner and, even better, we made great friends with Wim and Marja and I am sure we will stay in touch. They were great hosts and the entire evening was much more than we expected. The dinner was delicious and I have told many of our friends about this opportunity. (..) This is a brilliant idea and I hope all of my friends who travel in the area will use it. Thanks so much for what you did to make this happen for us.
Ghita and Bent (Denmark) about their Home Dinner with Don and Benedict (June 2010)
