Easy going private Holland tours by van (max 7 passengers). My main interest is to give you a wider view of Holland than that of only tulips, clogs and cheese. As an independent guide, I do not come with any kind of 'must-see' plan. Of course, it is important to have knowledge about the culture, the museums and history, but I prefer to show my visitors how the Dutch live. The nicest comment I ever had about my tours was that it felt like having a friend taking you sightseeing. My tours have been awarded with a 'Certificate of Excellence'.

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

During my Holland and Belgium tour we will visit the highlights of both countries. Therefore we decided to spent an overnight in Bruges or Ghent. We will see the highlights during the calm hours and avoid the crowds! Amsterdam, the Hague, Delft and the hidden gems of the countryside. 

In the Hague we visit all the highlights, like the the Houses of Parliament, the International Court of Justice and Mauritshuis. 
In Delft there is much to see of historical interest. A visit to the authentic Delft Blue pottery studios is optional. 
 No Holland tour without seeing the typical Dutch traditional country side with windmills, cheese farms and picturesque villages of Holland's 'green heart' or Kinderdijk. To Belgium we will cross the province of Zeeland, mainly farmland on reclaimed land and the Delta watermanagement projects. Bruges still saved its medieval look. Ghent is a city undiscovered by tourists. We will cover these places by foot. If interested a visit to the WW 1 & 2 memorials or Antwerp is optional.

Transport details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Van

For the tours I have a luxury and spacious VW T5 available, with big panoramic windows. The van has big and wide doors to make it easy to get in and out. Because of the Dutch climate it has a well fuctioning heating system. And of course an air con system is integrated. My van has a baggage capacity for a standard suitcase per person plus a carry-on bag. If you are planning to take extra baggage, I can organize an additional car.
