Hi my name is Elke. As your personal driver and tour guide I offer unique excursions to the Dutch country side. All my excursions are carefully designed to provide the most authentic and genuine experience of the Dutch landscape as possible. I have been a citizen of Amsterdam for 20 years now and have always been exploring its inner and outer surroundings, on foot, by bike and by car. I have extensive knowledge of the many small back roads and villages. Often inaccessible by big touring cars and therefor still unknown to mass tourism and exploitation. My focus is on providing exclusive , off the beaten path, excursions featuring everything that is so characteristic for the Dutch landscape like polders, windmills, low horizons and big skies. Experience a land created below sealevel. I am a certified teacher for art and cultural history. Specialties: Off the beaten track excursions North of Amsterdam I am not a museum guide. Museums usually have their own guides.

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

Are you avoiding mass tourism but eager to experience the iconic beauty of Holland—tulips, windmills, quaint villages, wooden houses, drawbridges, and wooden shoes? If so, this tour is perfect for you! While most visitors head to the busy Keukenhof gardens south of Amsterdam, a lesser-known gem awaits in northern Holland. Here, you’ll find the country’s largest flower fields, with endless tulips and daffodils, as well as charming spots like the Hortus Bulborum—all with far fewer tourists. In addition to stunning flower fields, this region boasts typical Dutch landscapes, complete with windmills, picturesque villages, and peaceful pastures dotted with cows. This tour offers a chance to immerse yourself in Holland’s iconic charm without the crowds. Please note: The flower season depends on weather. The tour is scheduled during peak bloom, but feel free to inquire about other dates.

Your Amsterdam tour itinerary

Pick up at your Hotel -An hour's drive up North during which I can explain all about the origin of the tulip and its place among Dutch history. -A stop at a lookout point over the North sea where you can see for yourself that we truly live below sea level! -A stop at Hortus Bulborum (not on Sundays) or the the tulip garden at Anna Palowna. -A drive among the flower fields with plenty of options to leave the car for pictures and a stop for nice cup of coffee! -A visit to the Schermer windmills. Where you will see a working windmill on the inside. -A stop at a quaint village like de Rijp or even the cheese town of Edam is possible. (A bit more touristy but possible is an added visit to a wooden shoe maker)
