Guide #11718
Easy going private Holland tours by van (max 7 passengers). My main interest is to give you a wider view of Holland than that of only tulips, clogs and cheese. As an independent guide, I do not come with any kind of 'must-see' plan. Of course, it is important to have knowledge about the culture, the museums and history, but I prefer to show my visitors how the Dutch live. The nicest comment I ever had about my tours was that it felt like having a friend taking you sightseeing. My tours have been awarded with a 'Certificate of Excellence'.

We had a wonderful day with Hans in his luxury van. It was great to explore the countryside away from the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam. We visited Delft and The Hague with a stop at a windmill. Hans is experienced, flexible and personable with a wealth of information on the history, art and architecture of The Netherlands. We highly recommend.

Thank you for your review. It was my pleasure to show the hidden gems of the Netherlands. The authentic windmills of Holland's 'Green Heart', and the walk through medieval Delft. But I am especially happy that you could cross Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' off your buckets list! Hans.

Hans was great. We saw everything we wanted to see and he was very prompt each day. Next time we are in Amsterdam we know who we'll select.

"Thank you so much for the wonderful review! In those three days we really saw all the highlights of Holland. It was one of the best tours I have ever done. See you next time!" Hans.

Another fantastic tour with Hans! I had been to Keukenhof before with Hans, but this was my husband’s first time in the Netherlands. He took up landscape photography when he retired, and so many of his photos he took that day are astounding! Thank you yet again, Hans, for another wonderful day!

Dear Kathleen and George. Yes another fantastic tour. The route along the Amstel, Vecht and Gein rivers is a photographer's dream. Filled with authentic windmills and picturesque villages. So glad we could capture these memories! Hans.
