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

This tour will bring you to the scenic Dutch town of Gouda and the wonderful Unesco Cultural Heritage water-windmills of Kinderdijk. Gouda has a lot to offer. During our town walk we’ll enjoy the wonderful 1448AD Townhall, the cute little streets, the two locks, The Cornelis de Houtman park and (optional) the magnificent stained-glass windows in the Janskerk (the best stained-glass windows in the country from the 16th century). We’ll grab lunch at my favorite place. We'll go my two favorite cheese and stroopwafel shops where we can taste and buy these Gouda delights. FYI: the Gouda cheese market takes on summer-Thursdays. Then off to Kinderdijk to enjoy the 19 windmills. We’ll go into two windmills to experience how they work and how miller families lived in them. The Kinderdijk sites tell us the entire water management story of the last 1000 years. Cool!
