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.

The tour starts in The Hague. We begin with a walk through the Binnenhof, the seat of the Dutch Parliament, then continue to Noordeinde Palace, passing several historic landmarks. An optional visit to the Mauritshuis Museum can be included to view masterpieces by Vermeer and Rembrandt. We then drive to the Peace Palace, home to the International Court of Justice, followed by a brief stop in Scheveningen, a former fishing village by the sea. In the afternoon, we head to Delft, the picturesque town of Vermeer. We'll explore the Grote Markt with its New Church and Old Town Hall, stroll along the canals to the Old Church, and visit the garden of the Prinsenhof, once home to Willem the Silent. Time will be set aside for lunch in the historic centre.
