Hi, I am Eric. Born and raised in the western coastal region of the Netherlands, historically named "Holland". So you have decided to come to the Netherlands and you want your visit to be nothing less than an unforgettable experience? You have come to the right person! An experienced knowledgeable traveler myself, with a passion for history, arts, architecture and great food, I will be delighted to be your private guide and driver. Whether you have just a few hours 'stop-over time', a full day or even several days at your disposal, I will be happy to prepare a fully tailor made itinerary for you in order to make your stay memorable. Have a look at my various tours, get inspired and let me know your specific wishes! Strolling through the streets of old towns and cities with their ancient churches, townhalls, monumental houses and marketplaces. Where time seems to have stand still for centuries. Going from city to city we will, wherever possible, be driving through the Dutch countryside, through green meadows and over winding river dikes: To your left, a few meters below the road, breathtaking views over the lowland 'polders' populated by grazing cattle, to your right the lazy wide river…We will see old farmhouses, windmills, canals, old locks and ditches, proof of the dutchmen's watermanagement skills throughout the ages. On the horizon we can already see the looming contours of yet another interesting old town which may be our next stop…! You will see, feel, experience Holland in it's pure essence. We will go off the beaten path and avoid the crowded tourist traps. You will experience the authentic unspoiled Netherlands and see the things that can't be seen when travelling on a tour bus. Please note I offer maximum flexibility in all my tours. If, for any reason, you wish to change program, this is always possible. Even during the day itself. This is your tour! Transportation in a premium luxury sedan is included in all tour prices. You will travel in sheer comfort in my airconditioned Lexus LS 600 hL. In your own pace, with plenty of time to absorb the overwhelming and fascinating beauty of the Netherlands. For groups of 4-8 passengers I can rent a Mercedes van at additional charge. Please contact me for a quotation. I can hardly wait to be at your service! Eric 10 plus years experience as a tourguide in the Netherlands and Belgium.

In the early 17th century a group of Reformed Protestants fled from politically and religiously hostile England to relative tolerant Holland. First these Puritans settled in Amsterdam, but then soon moved on to Leiden, where they lived from 1609 till 1620. Today we refer to them as the Pilgrims. In this tour we will follow the 'Pilgrimfathers' tracks'. We will visit various interesting historic locations in Amsterdam, Leiden and Delfshaven (Rotterdam). Transportation from city to city in a luxury sedan is included in the tourprice. Step back in time with me and stroll through the streets where your ancestors lived 400 years ago! Tour duration: 8 hours. The tour duration and itinerary can always be adjusted to your specific wishes. We can add other cities to the itinerary and also include a visit to the countryside and windmills. I will be happy to customize a tour for you.
The tour can start in Leiden, Amsterdam, Rotterdam or in any other location. I will pick you up by car. In Rotterdam we will visit the old port of Delfshaven. From this harbour the pilgrims set sail to the New World in July 1620. In Leiden we will do a walking tour through it's beautiful historical centre. In the Pieterskerk area several traces can still be found of the pilgrims' presence of 400 years ago. And also of their contemporary fellow citizen, the young painter Rembrandt who was born and raised here! The Leiden American Pilgrim Museum can be visited on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 1:00-5:00 pm. In Amsterdam we will, among other, visit the English Reformed Church in the beautiful Begijnhof.
