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

we will explore the Dutch countryside around Amsterdam by private car. Along the way, you’ll experience classic Dutch scenery such as historic windmills, charming farmhouses, green meadows with cows, cheese-making traditions, and picturesque fishing villages. Traveling at a relaxed pace, I’ll share stories about Dutch history, our way of life today, and how the Netherlands has mastered water management to shape both the landscape and daily life. The itinerary is flexible, allowing time for spontaneous stops, short walks, and photos, so you can truly enjoy the countryside beyond the city.
Our tour started off with our family being a bit upside down and delayed but that didn’t phase our guide. She was patient and wonderful. We were picked up and driven outside of the city center to truly enjoy the beautiful countryside of the Netherlands. The day was enjoyable, the pace perfect, the information and sights exactly what we had hoped for. A beautiful day!
Our tour of the countryside with Jolijn was amazing. Got to walk the Keukenhof Tulip Gardens plus quaint Dutch villages. Enjoyed and loved every minute!
Excellent 5 hour layover in Amsterdam. Guide was fun and so knowledgeable. We enjoyed exploring the villages north of Amsterdam and hit a cheese shop!
We used Jolijn on three tours, Riks Museum, Introduction to Amsterdam, and Kroller-Muller (not to be missed!). She was fantastic. Very flexible. Excellent knowledge of the country and of art. Great perspective on the sites we saw, and also on life in the Netherlands and its history and people. Highly recommend Jolijn
Jolijn was great, took us to the Countryside area and much more
Jolijn was a wonderful guide. he arrived promptly, her vehicle was pristine, and she was wonderfully personable. he gave us a very interesting brief history of the whole Country with descriptions of the various areas and how they related to the history. We had requested that our time spent with her would focus on things we would not ordinarily do with guide books inside the city of Amsterdam, so she took us to outlying villages and sights. This included a walking tour, a visit to a working windmill, local cheese spot, and enjoyed beautiful scenery in the countryside. It was a lovely day well spent. Thank you so much Jolijn.
My private car will take us into the Amsterdam area and we will visit several little towns like cheese and fisherman's village see windmills country side. Meanwhile I will tell the interesting history of the area and the history and present of our water management. After the tour I will take you back to Amsterdam
