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 old town of Haarlem to experience the best sites: the beautiful Grote Markt and famous Bavo church, the Spaarne canal area, a few of the many wonderful courtyards, the hidden Haarlem red light area, the ancient Vleeshal (meat hall) and the first museum in Holland the Teyler's museum. My grand parents have always lived in Haarlem. It was always exiting for me as a kid to stay with them and to explore the city. I love meeting new people and discover their stories. We'll have a great day together. Any Must See's on your bucket list? No problem. Just let me know and we'll add them to our tour. Tuesday summer evenings there's a great concert on the famous Vater Müller organ at the Bavo church. If you like, we can move our tour to the afternoon and evening to go there. You will get to know the city. We'll pick a great lunch spot that you'll enjoy. We'll also break at two of my favorite "brown cafés". I am a storyteller. Ready to hear my Haarlem stories?
