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.

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

In the morning we drive to the Zaanse Schans where you will see a collection of well preserved old wooden houses and windmills. Here you can also taste cheese and learn how wooden shoes are made! In the afternoon we will visit the countryside and explore historical former fisherman's island Marken and the town of Volendam. We will do light walking tours there and if you wish you can enjoy lunch in one of these places. Optionally we can include a boat ride (ferry, 30 minutes) from Marken to Volendam or vice versa.

Eric picked us up promptly at 9 am and we went off on a fantastic tour of downtown Amsterdam and the outlying countryside. The windmills were amazing and he explained their use and background well. The clocktower with the rotating figures and bell towers were great. Eric took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch and provided umbrellas in the pouring rain and gusty wind. 5 stars for his tour and we would highly recommend him.

This day trip with Eric was fantastic! Our group of 4 adults enjoyed spending the day in areas outside Amsterdam on the roads less traveled. We got a feel for so much more than the busy city center. Smaller towns with historic buildings, welcoming people and fewer crowds. The windmills were authentic with small canals all around. Eric is an exceptional guide; so personable, knowledgeable and fun.

Eric was a fantastic guide. He knew the answers to all of our questions. He was very knowledgeable about the places that we went. I would highly recommend him to other guests. We will certainly use him again. We had guides in Normandy and Paris on this trip, and we all thought that Eric was by far the best.
