Hi I am Robert. They call me Guide Robert or in french 'Geede Rober'. Born in Rotterdam, where I have studied social history at the Erasmus Unjversity. Just after I decided to work as a tour guide in Paris. For 25 years I have been doing that job with pleasure. Meanwhile I also started to work in Amsterdam where I have been living now for more than 20 years. It's a village compared to Paris but cosy, clean and safe. Nowadays I am tourguide in all of thr Netherlsnds. I do tours by van, by bike, by boat or by feet. People love my way of working becsuse I have lot of humour and I am very social. Also I like talk about the motivation of people behind the historical facts. The way of thinking of the locals. Most important is: I have a pkeasant voicd. All my tours can be customized feel free to contact me :) I did grammar school (6 languages and economics). I have a master degree in social history (Erasmus University Rotterdan). For more than 30 years I am working in tourism {Amsterdam tours, Paris tours, European tours).. i am doing incentives, working for cruise ships or do private tours. I have my license for guiding and for driving a van. I am not allowed to conduct a vehicle with more than 8 people.

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

What's the best way to see Amsterdam in one day? That's possible if you go for the whole day with one guide. That day I present like a puzzle in little pieces and in the end it all fits. In the Rijksmuseum I will explain to you the Amsterdam history and and specially about our the Golden Age. As alternative you can also do the Anne Frank Museum. In your pivate boat after I will show you the Amsterdam Canal Belt (Unesco list) and what is left from that Golden Age. For lunch we stop for a traditional Dutch dinner inclusive drinks. We finish our day with a walking tour. Highlights by feet and from the boat. The good thing about this unique tour is that it's a flexible program: you can give feedback, tell me what you like to see or change the schedule. I will stay all day with you. By the way I am a historian and have lived in Amsterdam for 25 years.

Roberto was so pleasant it felt like we were being hosted by a family member. We had some minor confusion on our meeting location, but he was accommodating and completed our entire tour. The art, the history, the food and a day with Roberto made us fall in love with Amsterdam. Highly recommend

Robert provided an excellent tour of Amsterdam. The day was organized well and he adjusted for our requests. He was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of ocal knowledge along with history. He made the museum visit very interesting by focusing on some little gems as well as those bringing in the crowds. The walking and canal tours could not have been better. The local lunch was delicious so if you are looking for a great leisurely day, go with Robert.

We did not know that King's Day was the day we planned for this whole day in Amsterdam. Robert rescheduled our tour for the day before. We had a delightful walking tour, traditional Dutch dinner and evening canal cruise. We appreciate his forethought because a tour on King's Day would have been mistakable.

Robert is a fantastic guide for touring amsterdam! We spent a full day with him and he took us through the museum (amazing art and Robert made it even more special), then a walk along the canal. We then boarded a boat for a private tour by boat of the sights along the beautiful canals of amsterdam. Robert is very knowledgeable about all things Amsterdam and took us for a lovely Dutch food lunch (yummy for sure!). You won't be disappointed!

Your Amsterdam tour itinerary

Highlights in one day. Me, Guide Robert like to show my city in different manners: *by feet: walking tour among the oldest part, the canals and the highlights. We stop for cheese tasting during this walk. It depends where we start the tour. *by private boat: Unesco Canal Belt, Anne Frank House, Westerkerk, City Hall, Red Light District, Robert shows you hidden secrets and the boat is all for you. Also possible to do the tour in 2x 1/2 day! *in the Rijksmuseum: tour about the Golden Age. Rembrandt, Vermeer, Frans Hals, Jan Steen: Guide Robert knows them all. Let me choose the paintings! Program from 9 am till 5. 30 PM All my tours can be customized upon request for bigger groups and/or special interests
