Hi, I’m a longtime Amsterdam local and have called this city home for more than 26 years. As a passionate traveller myself, I know the best journeys are not just about seeing places, but about truly experiencing them and making meaningful connections. I enjoy creating tours that feel personal, relaxed, engaging, and full of authentic moments. Whether it’s your first time in the Netherlands or your fifth, I want you to experience the country in your own unique way. My tours combine famous highlights with hidden corners, local neighbourhoods, food tastings, history, culture, WW2 stories, and Jewish heritage. I especially enjoy introducing my guests to both the famous landmarks and the hidden corners they may never find on their own. Beyond Amsterdam, I also offer countryside tours to charming villages, flower fields, castles, scenic landscapes, and beautiful small towns away from the busy tourist crowds. The Netherlands has so much more to offer than Amsterdam alone. Travel is comfortable and easy in electric Mercedes-Benz minivan for up to 6 guests, with a professional driver, air conditioning, USB charging ports, tinted windows, and complimentary water bottles. For groups larger than 6 people, please contact me for a quote. If the tours currently offered do not fully match your preferences or interests, please feel free to contact me to arrange a customized tour tailored to your wishes and travel style The Netherlands is full of surprises, and I’d be happy to help you discover them You are all very welcome! - Registered as tour guide in the Dutch Chamber of Commerce - Private tour guide in Amsterdam since April 2016 - Official Permit City of Amsterdam for guided tours in the historical centre - Education in Tourism at Leiden Educational Institutions, NL - Official IATA travel agent - Working experience as a tour operator and travel agent - Covid 19 fully vaccinated - Experienced restaurant host with culinary and wine knowledge

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

Escape the energy of the city and discover the quiet beauty of the Dutch countryside on a relaxed and authentic day tour. Shaped by centuries of natural forces and remarkable Dutch engineering, this landscape offers a completely different side of the Netherlands. Together, we’ll travel along scenic country roads through picturesque villages, green meadows, and peaceful waterways. Along the way, we’ll visit a traditional windmill, stroll through charming villages filled with flower gardens and local character, and stop at a family dairy farm to discover how Dutch cheese and authentic wooden clogs are still made today. There will also be time to enjoy lunch, either in a cosy fishing village or at the bakery of a historic windmill, where flour is still traditionally milled on site. This experience offers a genuine glimpse into Dutch rural life, history, and culture — far away from the crowds. Join me for a truly authentic Dutch countryside experience.

Laura picked us up promptly and was an amazing guide. We saw a side of the Netherlands that we would never had seen without her. She customized our tour and took us to a beautiful castle, a really cool farm where they made cheese and wooden shoes, a tour of windmills and stopped for coffee and snacks at a place no tourists would ever have found without her. I would highly recommend Laura!

Dear Laura Maria, I wanted to thank you for the amazing private tour you gave us on June 14, 2026. My kids (14, 14, and 29) and I had such a wonderful experience. Your easy scheduling, quick responses to all my questions, and your willingness to customize the tour made the day truly special. Having transportation with a dedicated driver for the entire duration was also a big plus — it made everything smooth, comfortable, and stress‑free. We loved exploring the Schermer countryside — the peaceful windmill region away from the crowds was exactly what we hoped for. Visiting the windmill, stopping for a snack at the traditional windmill bakery, and wandering through the charming town of Edam were all unforgettable moments. One of our favorite parts was discovering the small picturesque village with the beautiful flower garden of a local resident. It felt like stepping into a storybook. Thank you again for creating such a memorable day for our family. We truly appreciated your warmth, knowledge, and the care you put into every detail. Warm regards, Larisa

We really enjoyed the day tour to the country side. Maria was very knowledgeable and engaged our party of 4 in a very kind and respectful manner. I’m very glad we traveled outside of the city on this tour.

Laura and the driver, Ertug were both such fabulous and kind people! My wife and I felt so comfortable with them at all times like seeing your friends. The car was like new and spacious and such a beautiful ride to the country side. In addition to the windmills and learning how they work, Laura showed us many quaint and absolutely beautiful villages. Even though it rained most of the time, it did not take away from one of our trip highlight experiences. We are a could in the early to mid thirties and we were staying in Amsterdam and this was the perfect way to have a full day away from the city to see so many areas where locals and animals live. The cute villages were definitely a highlight amongst many other things we were able to do. Please do not hesitate to book for an incredibly hospitable, friendly, and informative tour. It was perfect from start to finish. Thank you!!

This is a really fun tour, and it was among the highlights of our week in Amsterdam. You will be picked up in a very nice and comfortable mini-van and will take a very pleasant drive to the countryside outside of Amsterdam. Laura took us first to an amazing small seaside village with windmills, where you can go inside a windmill and see how it works. Then we drove to several other picture postcard villages to have a traditional Dutch seaside lunch. You will see how wooden shoes and Dutch cheese are made. It was a really unique experience and we came away loaded up with pictures. Laura does an excellent job escorting you from stop to stop, explaining the history and the culture of what you are seeing.

She chose beautiful historical charming places for us to explore. Our family felt she was knowledgeable about each town we went to. Laura has a lovely personality. She is personable kind and cares about pleasing you and making sure you are enjoying the sites.. our tour was perfect in every way. I highly recommend Laura for anyone who wants the best guide!!!!
