Hello, I'm Jan. Welcome to Amsterdam and The Netherlands! I've graduated in public administration at Leiden University. I have a big passion for history since I was a teenager and developed a strong interest in European painting and it's history in the last 15 years. I've been doing tours in and around Amsterdam for over 13 years. After all these years I still discover new things in Amsterdam and find out new things about it's history, which makes it such a great place. I provide tours of Amsterdam, it's surroundings (flower fields in April, countryside, windmills, Brussels). I do tours on foot, on ordinary bikes, on my rickshaw, by minivan and if preferred so in combinations of walking and by boat or minivan. Amsterdam is great and unique. Besides the things most people associate with it, there is a lot else you might not have noticed before or read about. Of course I will customize tours. So if you have specific interests or you would like to combine elements of several tours please let me know and I will make a customized proposal. I'm a traveler myself. I have been traveling to the USA, India, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, Mexico, Egypt, Russia, China and a lot of places in Europe. I'm always curious to discover new places and meet people from all over the world, which is a great advantage of my work. I hope you will enjoy our great, unique city! - 13 years experience with doing tours in and around Amsterdam, on foot, by bike, by rickshaw and by minivan. - I'm graduated in public administration at Leiden University - Licensed to do tours in the Red Light District - I can not provide tours of Anne Frank House, or provide tickets for it. - Taking pictures of women in the red light district is strictly prohibited

One of the best to see Amsterdam, you see so much in a short period of time compared with a boat tour
I booked the extended tour & thoroughly enjoyed riding around Amsterdam with Jan. He is so knowledgeable about history and building architecture. I loved it! It was raining the morning when we were set to start & he phoned to ask if I had flexibility to wait til afternoon, which was perfect and we avoided the rain. He was happy to customize my tour, stop to look at...

Had a great tour with Jan. Using the rickshaw really allowed us to see much more than we would have in a walking tour of the same time frame. Allowed you to move from one location to the next quickly which in turn meant spending more time at each location learning about the history/story of the landmark. It also allowed us time to get to and walk thru the open air...
