Good day! Just contact me and we built your tour together! My name is Wilbert B. Born Dutch and I love showing you my country and make good memories together! My interest for nature and cultural- and national Dutch history, combined with the pleasure I get from giving people a good time are the main reasons for being a guide. Of course I love to take you around in Amsterdam and to the windmills as described in my standard tours and tell you about it all, but just as well I built you your own customized tour and take you to the less busy places, take you for a nature hike or a canoeing trip, chase your ancestors, have good local food at beautiful places and so on and so forth. Just contact me and we make it work together, because this is your holidays, so it must be your tour as well! I hope to meet you soon to make it all happen!

His vast knowledge of nature makes him stand apart from other guides. Wilbert was one of the best tour guides that we have experienced.

We certainly recommend him as your next tour guide if you are planning on visiting Amsterdam When transportation is involved I only guide groups of up to 8 guests. I only guide groups of more than 8 people if they themselves arrange or have arranged transportation for it.
