Good day! Just contact me and we built your tour together! My name is Wilbert B. Born Dutch and I love showing you my country and make good memories together! My interest for nature and cultural- and national Dutch history, combined with the pleasure I get from giving people a good time are the main reasons for being a guide. Of course I love to take you around in Amsterdam and to the windmills as described in my standard tours and tell you about it all, but just as well I built you your own customized tour and take you to the less busy places, take you for a nature hike or a canoeing trip, chase your ancestors, have good local food at beautiful places and so on and so forth. Just contact me and we make it work together, because this is your holidays, so it must be your tour as well! I hope to meet you soon to make it all happen!

Daytrip from Amsterdam to a picturesque peat moor village and a medieval city with a private guide
Overview of your Amsterdam tour
The little water village of Giethoorn is often referred to as "Venice of the North. " Small houses along small canals still witness the times when the peat moor was exploited. Harsh work in harsh conditions resulted in a now well preserved and lifely setting worth visiting. From poverty to prosperity the village displays itself in a setting that can be best described as a pleasant, picturesque, romantic and photogenic. Several Dutch cities in the east were major players in the medieval Hanseatic trading union which was a cooperation of traders and cities along the North and East Sea shores. It's a story about wealth and success in the east of Holland, where the West of Holland was more, and later in time, into trade with the Orient. The city of Deventer probably was the most important city among those cities and that reflects in its decorum. The city has been beautifully restored. Experience the daily pace of life in a typical Dutch city that is not crowded with tourists.
