A travel professional, a storyteller, and a tour guide for Amsterdam & The Netherlands. Hello there! traveller. How nice of you that you want to know more about me. I am Gopi, and the Netherlands has been my home for the last 12 years. I am a marketing professional by qualification and moved to tourism in 2017. My keen interest in learning the history of the country as well as understanding the cultural elements of the country that I call my current home, has persuaded me to start my own travel business. How am I different from the rest? I love to put a creative spin on all the tours I offer. Be it the 'Royal Tour', where you will learn about the Royal past and present, or the 'Golden Age tour', focusing on the Golden Age which transformed The Netherlands, my tours are extensive and you will return to your home with more than just facts. I offer immersive tours where you get to know about the Netherlands. Small but significant, the Netherlands has played a huge role in shaping the modern world. Right from learning the difference between Holland and the Netherlands, you will be surprised to know how significant this country is even today. Take a look at my tours and let me know which one suits you the best. Importantly, I can customize the tours based on your interests. Feel free to reach out to me for any questions. Member of VVKR - A travel organisation for small travel businesses based in the Netherlands I can offer tours in my private car for up to 4 people.

From the Golden Age to the Modern Age with a local guide
Overview of your Amsterdam tour
This is a comprehensive city tour of Amsterdam where we will showcase the rich history as well as the modern side of the city. Amsterdam as it is now, was the capital of the Netherlands during the Dutch Golden Age that lasted 100 years, back in the 16th/17th century. This Golden age transformed what was once an insignificant country into an economic powerhouse. In this tour, we will take to some of the historic buildings that are of great significance. We will walk past merchant homes, and Dutch East Indies offices and walk over several bridges the city is known for. We will also be visiting the neighborhoods that shaped the city in the past as well as in the present. Like any city, Amsterdam is also known for its little cafes and restaurants, where you get to try out some local dishes. You can choose between half a day or a full day tour and I will be able to customize the tour based on your interests.
