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.

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

During this walking tour, I will guide you through Amsterdam: a city that began as a humble fishing village on the river Amstel and grew into one of the most influential trading hubs in history. Ever wondered how a swampy city became the richest place on earth during the 17th century? Why does our capital not have any government buildings? And how did the world’s most liberal city deal with an uncountable amounts of bikes? You'll discover it all and more during this private walk. Amsterdam is not just about canals, it's a treasure trove of hidden courtyards, crooked houses, secret churches, weird history, and important art. We’ll explore how tolerance, trade, and trouble have shaped this unique capital. And why do a tour with me here? I’ve spent countless hours exploring Amsterdam, and I was born close to Amsterdam. I also have the added bonus of doing a lot of tours in cities south of Amsterdam, (Delft, The Hague, Rotterdam), so I can help you plan out the rest of your itinerary of our beautiful country.
