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'.

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

My tour gives in the first place a wide orientation on the city of Amsterdam. It show the places that most travellers do not come! We'll avoid the crowds! We will see the seventeenth century canal belt area, the medieval city, RijksMuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Hermitage Amsterdam, Anne Frank House and more WW2 history. The tour is a combination of driving by van and making short walks. My small group tours are an ideal way to escape the large group tours and explore the Dutch countryside in a more intimate way. We will visit small, picturesque villages North of Amsterdam where the big busses are not even allowed to drive. Edam, Broek in Waterland, Monnickendam and Marken are always delightful and authentic. If you are interested in a visit to the Van Gogh Museum, Rijks Museum or Rembrandt House we can end the tour here. From that point on it is easy to discover the city on your own. We will see all the city highlights and the hidden gems of the countryside. So in four hours you can see a lot of Amsterdam.

Transport details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Van

For the tours I have a luxury and spacious VW T5 available, with big panoramic windows. The van has big and wide doors to make it easy to get in and out. Because of the Dutch climate it has a well fuctioning heating system. And of course an air con system is integrated. My van has a baggage capacity for a standard suitcase per person plus a carry-on bag. If you are planning to take extra baggage, I can organize an additional car.
