Hello! I'm Ravil. I've called the Netherlands home since 1989 — first Nijmegen, then Amsterdam, where I've lived since 1996. I was born in Moscow, but it's here that showing friends and visitors around slowly turned into my work — and nearly thirty years later, I still enjoy it as much as ever. I specialize in private car tours for people who'd rather have a flexible day than follow a rigid schedule. I've always been especially drawn to the smaller towns and the Dutch countryside — a village café, a quiet canal, an unexpected conversation, or a stop that wasn't in the plan. These often turn out to be the highlights of the day. Some guests come for history, architecture, and art; others for local life, food, or simply to see the country beyond the usual tourist spots. I’ll admit I sometimes get a little carried away when a place I love comes up — so please don’t hesitate to tell me when you’ve seen enough or simply need a coffee. My aim is never to rush you through a checklist, but to help you experience the Netherlands in a way that fits your interests, at the pace that suits you. When I’m not guiding, I travel myself. In the winter months, you’ll regularly find me exploring Southeast Asia, which keeps reminding me what it’s like to be a visitor in a foreign country. A few practical notes: we travel in my modern SUV, comfortable for up to four passengers; for larger groups, I can arrange a minivan. I guide in English, Dutch and Russian, hold an official Amsterdam guiding permit, and am registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce.

Begin with a scenic 45-minute drive from Amsterdam to Amersfoort, a medieval town full of history and architecture. Marvel at the Tower of Our Lady (Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren), one of the tallest medieval towers in the Netherlands, and capture photos at the 15th-century Koppelpoort, a unique land and water gate. Stroll through Muurhuizen to see charming homes built along the city’s original walls. Enjoy lunch in Hof Square, where you can also admire the historic St. George’s Church. After lunch, we’ll continue to Naarden, one of Europe’s best-preserved fortified towns. Walk along its star-shaped fortifications, see the Utrecht Gate, and visit the beautiful Grote Kerk. This tour provides a unique experience, combining the charm of historic towns with scenic views and an authentic, crowd-free atmosphere before we head back to Amsterdam.
