Guide #64145
Hello, I am Nidas! Your perfect local guide for Delft, Rotterdam and The Hague. I am a dedicated, cheerful, and enthusiastic 26-year-old student who, alongside studying, has been guiding in Rotterdam, Delft, and the surrounding areas for a number of years. Currently, I am studying econometrics at Erasmus University Rotterdam, but before this, I completed my bachelor's degree in Applied Physics at TU Delft. My roots are in North Holland and Lithuania. My fascination with cities and history began when I was a little kid. At that time, I didn't have a computer, and I would spend days flipping through an atlas my dad gave me. Now that I'm a bit older, that same love has transferred to Google Maps. In addition to my minor in Heritage & Design at the architecture faculty, I lived in Delft for 15 years and can tell you everything about this beautiful town. During this minor, I learned how Dutch cities and architecture has evolved from the year 1000 to 1930. I've read a lot about the time after 1930, which is necessary considering my current place of residence: the modern marvel called Rotterdam. These days, I also guide in Rotterdam, and although I've only lived here for three years, this city is becoming more and more my own. To accelerate that process, I started a tour last year visiting all 92 neighborhoods of Rotterdam, in alphabetical order! I'm currently half of the way through, adding a neighborhood every week, and posting pictures and info on social media. So, I'm the perfect person to take you around this city. From the renowned higlights to the local nooks and crannies! See you somewhere in the most diverse and beautiful province of the Netherlands: South Holland! My tours are flexible and it is always possible to make some changes in the itinerary. --CREDENTIALS-- - 3 years of guiding experience in mainly Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague (South Holland) - Half year minor degree in Heritage & Design at the architecture faculty of TU Delft - Bachelors degree in applied physics at TU Delft and currently studying for a master in econometrics at the Erasmus University Rotterdam - Drivers License for vehicles up to 9 persons ---------------------- I do not guide inside museums. I'll provide some basic information on what to expect and can assist in arranging audio tours or museum guides.

Great tour ! The best day trip from Amsterdam. Nidas was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. Both the cities Utrecht and Amersfoort were beautiful medieval cities and well preserved for being 700 years old. Easy walking at leisure. They will stay in our memories forever.

Hi Usha, thank you for joining the tour of Utrecht and Amersfoort, and I really liked that you enjoyed Amersfoort! As I said a first time guiding there for me. If you ever decide to go back, I think you will like Maastricht and Breda as well, cities that come the closest to the feel of Amersfoort.
This tour lead by Nidas was so very informative. His extensive knowledge of The Hague helped us understand its roll throughout history. Nidas is professional, friendly, and conversational…something we look for in a private guide. We had many questions, and he answered them all so we had a better understanding of what we were seeing and learning. Highly recommend this...

Hi Laurie and Keith, thank you for joining the walk trough the Hague! I hope I tied up all the loose ends and questions you had about our country. - Nidas
I had a good day with Nidas. Even though the museum and churches were closed, we covered a lot of ground and history. He’s an insightful guide to both Delft’s history and present-day culture.
