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'.

    Hans was fantastic! We had four young kids (12 and under) with us and 4 adults. Hans did a great job of making it a great tour for both the kids and the adults. He was very interactive with the kids and explained the history of the city to them in a fun way. He was patient and showed us some places we would never have seen without his guidance. You should definitely...

    Hosting a family with children is always a special adventure and a fun challenge. I loved seeing their enthusiasm along the way. Thank you for choosing me for your shore excursion from the Disney Dream. From Rotterdam to Amsterdam vv and highlights were the visit to the Anne Frank house and the lunch along the Amstel River.

    Hans was perfect for our small group and flexible. As a local he knew the less crowded gems and gave us the immersed and personal experience we wanted. He made our day in the beautiful countryside and small villages perfect! Thank you Hans!

    We loved our tour with Hans! He showed us some really interesting areas of Rotterdam, Delft, and Amsterdam. We even got to try local Dutch pancakes from a cafe. He was kind enough to stop at a Miffy store for our daughter who was very excited to see the Dutch cartoon character. We would highly recommend him if you’re looking for a well rounded tour of the Netherlands.

    Thank you so much for the kind review! I am glad to hear you enjoyed your time in Rotterdam, Delft, and Amsterdam. I truly believe that every tour should be unique. I love having the flexibility to adapt our day on the fly, so I was more than happy to stop for the Miffy store and those delicious poffertjes. Thank you for the recommendation, and maybe see you again in the...
