Hi, I am Eric. Born and raised in the western coastal region of the Netherlands, historically named "Holland". So you have decided to come to the Netherlands and you want your visit to be nothing less than an unforgettable experience? You have come to the right person! An experienced knowledgeable traveler myself, with a passion for history, arts, architecture and great food, I will be delighted to be your private guide and driver. Whether you have just a few hours 'stop-over time', a full day or even several days at your disposal, I will be happy to prepare a fully tailor made itinerary for you in order to make your stay memorable. Have a look at my various tours, get inspired and let me know your specific wishes! Strolling through the streets of old towns and cities with their ancient churches, townhalls, monumental houses and marketplaces. Where time seems to have stand still for centuries. Going from city to city we will, wherever possible, be driving through the Dutch countryside, through green meadows and over winding river dikes: To your left, a few meters below the road, breathtaking views over the lowland 'polders' populated by grazing cattle, to your right the lazy wide river…We will see old farmhouses, windmills, canals, old locks and ditches, proof of the dutchmen's watermanagement skills throughout the ages. On the horizon we can already see the looming contours of yet another interesting old town which may be our next stop…! You will see, feel, experience Holland in it's pure essence. We will go off the beaten path and avoid the crowded tourist traps. You will experience the authentic unspoiled Netherlands and see the things that can't be seen when travelling on a tour bus. Please note I offer maximum flexibility in all my tours. If, for any reason, you wish to change program, this is always possible. Even during the day itself. This is your tour! Transportation in a premium luxury sedan is included in all tour prices. You will travel in sheer comfort in my airconditioned Lexus LS 600 hL. In your own pace, with plenty of time to absorb the overwhelming and fascinating beauty of the Netherlands. For groups of 4-8 passengers I can rent a Mercedes van at additional charge. Please contact me for a quotation. I can hardly wait to be at your service! Eric 10 plus years experience as a tourguide in the Netherlands and Belgium. Transportation in a premium Lexus LS600hL (up to 3 travellers) or a rental Mercedes van (4-8 travellers). Registered Professional Private Hire Driver with a commercial Drivers License. Registered at the Chamber of Commerce in The Hague. Fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Emergency First Aid Course inluding AED.

First rate tour, starting with a super-long wait at the airport. Welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the city and surroundings. We learned so much in a very short time.

We had an incredible tour with Eric. I had mentioned we had tickets later that day to see Anne Frank's house , so he first took us to see where she actually grew up before they went into hiding. This was so interesting to see. Then he took us to two beautiful smaller cities, Leiden and Haarlem where we strolled around both cities while he shared the history of each. Afterwards he dropped us off at our hotel. It was a perfect way to end our vacation. Eric is extremely knowledgeable of The Netherlands and shares his knowledge so well. You will enjoy having him as your guide and we will definitely contact him again for another tour if we return to Amsterdam.

Our three days with Eric were like being with a friend. In his luxurious car he took us to many towns and places off the beaten track. He shared with us so much information about the history and culture of the Netherlands. He went out of his way to accommodate our special needs. We highly recommend Eric! You will walk away feeling like you have lived in Amsterdam!

I get a little stressed when I travel and Eric was so flexible when it came to our schedule, he put me right at ease. My husband, myself and my sister all felt equally important. I wanted to see the Mueller organ, I saw AND heard it; my sister wanted Dutch cookies, we made a supermarket stop; my husband wanted to sample Dutch beer, it came with lunch at the brewery. Countryside, city, beach, beer, history, windmills and a 3D film of Rembrandt as a child. Wonderful! Thanks Eric, till next time!
