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

We will stroll through old town, the red light district and the canal area. We'll walk through the centuries and will hit many special points of interest. You will experience and enjoy the unique history of Amsterdam and the effects on our lives it still has today. We'll visit sights that played a big role in the 16 th century Reformation and how freedom of religion was conceived in Europe. You'll see the places where Henry Hudson set sail to discover unclaimed territory in North America and where Rembrandt created famous paintings. We'll also hit spots in town where modern day capitalism was conceived. We'll stroll along the canals and their beautiful canal homes, and will discover wonderful stories about 17th and 18th century entrepreneurs and families. You'll learn how to move around town. Where to have a great meal and where to chill at our great "brown cafés". I'm a storyteller. Are you ready to hear my Amsterdam stories?
