A travel professional, a storyteller, and a tour guide for Amsterdam & The Netherlands. Hello there! traveller. How nice of you that you want to know more about me. I am Gopi, and the Netherlands has been my home for the last 12 years. I am a marketing professional by qualification and moved to tourism in 2017. My keen interest in learning the history of the country as well as understanding the cultural elements of the country that I call my current home, has persuaded me to start my own travel business. How am I different from the rest? I love to put a creative spin on all the tours I offer. Be it the 'Royal Tour', where you will learn about the Royal past and present, or the 'Golden Age tour', focusing on the Golden Age which transformed The Netherlands, my tours are extensive and you will return to your home with more than just facts. I offer immersive tours where you get to know about the Netherlands. Small but significant, the Netherlands has played a huge role in shaping the modern world. Right from learning the difference between Holland and the Netherlands, you will be surprised to know how significant this country is even today. Take a look at my tours and let me know which one suits you the best. Importantly, I can customize the tours based on your interests. Feel free to reach out to me for any questions. Member of VVKR - A travel organisation for small travel businesses based in the Netherlands I can offer tours in my private car for up to 4 people. If you are more than 4, please send me a message and we can work out a custom tour.

Overview of your Amsterdam tour

A day tour where you get a chance to escape the busy Amsterdam but still enjoy a day exploring historic buildings, canals, and museums. There is a lot more to North Holland than Amsterdam. Explore the Duch Golden Age cities of Hoorn and Enkhuizen or Alkmaar famous for the cheese market or Haarlem, the capital of North Holland. Hoorn is a small town but historically very influential. Hoorn is famous for historic buildings including the Dutch East Indies warehouse, Alms house and the city gates. Enkhuizen is home to the famous 'Zuiderzee Museum'. Or explore Haarlem ( Harlem in NYC got its name from this town), the capital of North Holland. The town square boasts multiple heritage buildings as well as the church. Haarlem is a great town for shopping. Alkmaar is a charming town famous for its cheese market on Fridays. Apart from the cheese market, the city offers a boat ride across the narrow canals. The low bridges make the boat ride a lot more exciting.
