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 (time to be agreed upon) I will pick you up from your hotel, cruiseterminal or from the airport. We start with a car drive through the scenic countryside to reach the medieval castle Muiderslot. The castle's origins date back to the middle ages and is surrounded by a moat. Children will also love it, they can climb the towers and enjoy panoramic views from there. A guided audiotour inside the castle is included. Car drive to Giethoorn. Off we go to Giethoorn. This little 'Venice of the North' with its numereous canals, bridges and pittoresque monumental farmhouses can best be explored by boat. We can make a 1 hour private boat ride (not yet included in tourprice), or do a walking tour and you can enjoy lunch there if you like. Car drive back to your hotel or cruiseterminal (Amsterdam or Rotterdam). On our way back we make a stop in quaint old Kampen for a short walking tour.
