Hi, my name is Bart. Great news that you're planning to visit The Netherlands. I'd love to contribute to make your stay unforgettable. I live with my family in the middle of Amsterdam and we enjoy the city every day. With my own consultancy firm I work with people from all over the world. It is so much fun to meet new people with completely different backgrounds and hearing their stories. My family and I also have great memories of our three years stay in Charlotte, North Carolina. I'm passionate about history, culture and art to feel and understand the choices made by people and to discover their stories that affect our lives today. If ever I'd need to stay on a desert island, I'd definitely bring my jazz music, mountain bike, great beers and cheese. I enjoy sharing my love for Amsterdam and all the incredible sites The Netherlands has to offer. I'm looking forward to showing you around and for you to experience and enjoy these special places. There are so many nice places to visit. So, if you have any special requests, I can easily set up a custom tour for you. All my regular tours are priced with Amsterdam as our starting point. But, should you want to start anywhere else, that's absolutely no problem. If you would like to compile a multi-day program with me? No problem! Just let me know and we'll put a nice program together. I love to customize my tours to your preferences and ideas. Half of my tours are custom tours! Next to my regular tours I would love to show you Belgium (e.g. Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels). If you would like to do that out of Amsterdam I might be a very suitable tourguide for you. I've toured with travelers from all over the world: USA, Canada, Germany, Malaysia, Mexico, Guatemala, England, Kenia, South Africa, The Philippines and Hong Kong. Always a joy to have fun with foreigners!

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

We will stroll through the oldest part of town, the red light district, the canal area, the jewish district and exiting sites of the Dutch East India Company. We'll walk through the centuries. I'll show you where famous Amsterdammers lived. We have all day. We'll take our time to go into wonderful canal houses, brown cafés and cute alley ways. You will be inside 17th, 18th century and contemporary Amsterdam. But I also want to know more about you. E.g. you want to see the best stuff of the Rijks or Van Gogh museum? my Anne Frank Tour? American history sites? Going inside a genuine canal house? Taking a boattrip through the canals? Doing the cute Jordaan district? Jewish history sites? A great Amsterdam foodmarket? No problem. Just let me know and we'll make an enjoyable plan. You will get to know the city. We'll pick a great lunch spot and we'll take as many breaks as we want. I know a lot of nice places where we can relax and enjoy nice food and drinks I am a storyteller. Ready for my Amsterdam stories?
