Hi, I'm Jolijn — and honestly, being a guide never really felt like a job to me. It started with a simple love: the kind of curiosity that makes you stop in front of a painting and wonder about the person who made it, or pause on a canal bridge just to take it all in. What I love most isn't the monuments or the museums themselves — it's the moment when a traveller sees something for the first time and their eyes light up. That exchange, that new connection between a person and a place (and between two people who just met!) — that's what gets me out of bed in the morning. I grew up with a deep passion for art history and the stories behind the things we see every day. Amsterdam is full of them — hidden in its canal houses, its courtyards, its Golden Age masterpieces. I love making those stories feel alive and personal, not like a textbook. But here's the thing: a great day out isn't about rushing from highlight to highlight. It's about finding your pace, following your curiosity, and maybe ending up somewhere neither of us expected. I'm relaxed, flexible, and genuinely enjoy the conversation along the way — whether you want to go deep into Rembrandt's technique or just want to know where the locals actually eat lunch. Think of it less as a guided tour, and more as a day out in Amsterdam with a friend who happens to know a lot about the city — and can't wait to introduce it to you. *Official Art Valuer. *Officially registered with Chamber of Commerce Tourism . *Amsterdam permit tours in Centre and red light district *license guest guide rijksmuseum *Professional Dutch Driving Licence *Friend member Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum

Only for a view months a year the Dutch landscape becomes extraordinairy, colours explode on the fields and gives a beautiful view on the countryside!

I will show you the best of the spacious 32 hectares of the garden and tell you all about the history of the flowers and industry. OPEN FROM 19th of MARCH UNTIL 10th MAY 2026
Just a perfect day!
Jolijn was an amazing guide! She was personable and knowledgeable the whole time. Felt like a friend was showing us around the beautiful flower shows. We got so lucky to have her show us Amsterdam! The next time we return to Amsterdam, we will definitely make sure we get Jolijn as a tour guide again.
second tour with jolijn - need i say more ! went to flower gardens and drove thru countryside … stopped on way at 'old railroad station ' converted to restaurant … amazing ..flower garden were in full bloom + got so much info about the growers , water system etc …like being with a really smart friend ! have recommended jolijn to so many friends … makes me look good!!!!!
Jolijn is a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide and a competent driver as well. We saw the flower gardens - very beautiful, learned some history and visited a couple towns on our trip to Delft. Jolijn picked a very nice route. She is also a very pleasant person and interesting to talk to as well. I would hire Jolijn again!!
Jolijn made our trip to the Keukenhof gardens and to nearby villages and the beach very enjoyable. She was friendly, prompt, knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area, and basically was a delightful guide. We never would have seen all parts of the gardens without her excellent guidance. We had one person in our group who had mobility issues and she was very sensitive to his limitations and she made sure that he fully enjoyed the gardens. Hopefully, she can take us on another tour.
Our tour to the Keukenhof gardens with Jolijn was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Europe. She used her substantial knowledge of the history of the Netherlands intermingled with her own personal experiences to provide us with a most enjoyable tour. While the gardens get very crowded with loads of bus-driven tourists, we were able to skip the lines and get a personal tour for our group of 4. The gardens are massively extensive and stunning. Highly recommend taking any tour with Jolijn.
I will meet you at the place of your choice, drive with private transportation to the flowergarden Keukenhof. We will drive through the beautiful countryside with flower fields and little typical Dutch towns. A guided tour in the gardens. And we will return to the place of your choice.
