A travel professional, a storyteller, and a tour guide for Amsterdam & The Netherlands. Hello there! traveller. How nice of you that you want to know more about me. I am Gopi, and the Netherlands has been my home for the last 12 years. I am a marketing professional by qualification and moved to tourism in 2017. My keen interest in learning the history of the country as well as understanding the cultural elements of the country that I call my current home, has persuaded me to start my own travel business. How am I different from the rest? I love to put a creative spin on all the tours I offer. Be it the 'Royal Tour', where you will learn about the Royal past and present, or the 'Golden Age tour', focusing on the Golden Age which transformed The Netherlands, my tours are extensive and you will return to your home with more than just facts. I offer immersive tours where you get to know about the Netherlands. Small but significant, the Netherlands has played a huge role in shaping the modern world. Right from learning the difference between Holland and the Netherlands, you will be surprised to know how significant this country is even today. Take a look at my tours and let me know which one suits you the best. Importantly, I can customize the tours based on your interests. Feel free to reach out to me for any questions. Member of VVKR - A travel organisation for small travel businesses based in the Netherlands I can offer tours in my private car for up to 4 people. If you are more than 4, please send me a message and we can work out a custom tour.

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

Giethoorn : You have probably heard of Giethoorn and seen the photos. Giethoorn certainly meets the hype where you can enjoy a lovely walk admiring the grand houses, a bicycle ride, or a boat ride which is a must. Our tour also takes our clients to lesser-known places that are worth visiting in the vicinity. We offer more than a normal visit to Giethoorn. Zwolle: One of the Hanseatic cities of Europe, Kampen is famous for its old monuments, many of which are over 500 years old and full of old-world charm. Batavia Land: Housing the replica of the famous 'Batavia' ship, which sank in the 17th century near Australia, Batavia Land will let you experience a historic piece of the old world.

Your Amsterdam tour itinerary

Giethoorn village is located about 120 KM's from Amsterdam. It takes 90 minutes to drive to the place. Once you reach Giethoorn, you have the option to go for a walk (15 KM of walking space), rent a bicycle or take either a private or shared boat trip. A fairy tale place that you can visit in real life, it will leave you impressed. Option 1: After Giethoorn, we will visit Zwolle (located 40 minutes from Giethoorn), a charming town with a medieval feel to it. Option 2: We will drive to Batavia Land after Giethoorn,which takes about 45 minutes. Witness the restoration process of old ships and relive the 17th-century Dutch Age of Exploration. 'Batavia Stad', the famous shopping center is also located in the same area and you can visit the same to do some shopping. After the visit, we will drive to Amsterdam, which takes about 1 hour.
