Hello! I am Arun, and am ready to offer you an unique experience in Amsterdam. I am a historian and an award-winning sports writer with a fascination for reading, art, history, culture and cuisine. I love meeting people from different parts of the world, and creating memories for them. When people travel, they are full of curiosity, eagerness to enjoy and bonhomie. In short, they are full of positive energy. I love touching their lives at that precise moment and sharing the joy and happiness of discovery that comes with touring. I have lived and worked around the world but decided to make Amsterdam my home. Golden Age canals lined by quaint gabled buildings, fascinating museums, treasure-packed shops, a vibrant design and art scene, endless choices of culinary delights, history eloquent in every brick, the lure of the Red Light District . . . and, last but not the least, the fascinating getaways into the heart of nature if you know your way around town and outskirts. It is a city I have fallen in love with and can make you fall in love with as well. Whether it is biking like locals, wandering around the quaint canals and the narrow alleys, taking a peek behind the great masterpieces of Rembradnt and Van Gogh, tasting local delicacies, learning how the Red Light District works, or getting away from the busy center to visit Windmills and other countryside attractions, I can arrange it for you. There are plenty of attractions off the beaten track, from secret courtyards to James Bond filming locations. Throbbing city center, delightful museums, offbeat locales, countryside excursions. I can customize the tour in whichever way you want. See you in Amsterdam. You will love the experience. Tot ziens. -Municipality Licence for touring in Old Amsterdam -Published Author of Historical fiction -Published Author of non-fiction (history) with a pair of international award shortlists -Award Winning Sports Writer -Art and History Buff

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

Bikes and Amsterdam are a match made in heaven. There is no better way to see the city. You can cover most of the major attractions of the city by biking along the canals and the streets, just as Dutch people do. On this private leisurely bike tour, you visit an old fashioned windmill, bike along the most golden age canals, stop on the beautiful bridges, visit famous street markets, pass through a famous tunnel and, as a bonus, taste a local snack. While on the tour there is no reason to stick to a rigid routine. The tour can be as customised as possible, depending on your interests, the pace you want to go at, the things you want to see and the things that you don't. It can be made as personalised as possible. Hop on your bike and start exploring!

Arun was easy to contact and was patient as we got to our tour late. He did a great job riding us around the city and telling us about some of Amsterdam's history.

Well, we rode bikes around Amsterdam and lived to tell the tale! We had a lovely half day, once we stopped thinking we were going to die!! Amsterdam is a beautiful city and completely designed for bike riding...which we did enjoy. Our guide set a manageable pace and we saw all the key things that makes Amsterdam unique and special. Still can't get over not having a helmet to wear but, when in Rome! You won't regret being bold and taking on a cycling tour of the city, well worth while.

This biking was tour was exactly what we were looking for. It was informative, exciting, and we felt like locals. It was easy enough for my 65 year old Father to feel comfortable and we enjoyed a pint at a bar along the way. It is a great way to experience an amazing city!
