Hi my name is Hans and ever since I was a small boy, growing up in the east of the Netherlands, I have been fascinated by my country's history, landscape and culture. In 1996 I completed a PhD in European history at the University of Amsterdam and since then I have been leading tours through Amsterdam and the Netherlands. It has been a constant pleasure for me to show off the most beautiful spots of the Netherlands to new arrivals and reveal just some of its charms, secrets and unbelievable stories. Car and bus tours are all very well for getting around the Netherlands but it's only through walking that you can truly feel like you've fully experienced this truly unique country. My academic background has given me extensive knowledge of Europe's history and culture but my guiding experience has also included flower themed tours as well as waterland tours which explore the countryside of the Netherlands. I live in Amsterdam and can meet you at centrally located hotels or at a convenient landmark in Amsterdam, Rotterdam or The Hague.

Where water, nature, and history come together
Overview of your Amsterdam tour
Just 15 minutes north of Amsterdam lies Waterland: a region where water has shaped both the landscape and daily life for centuries. Historic port towns, quaint villages, green peat meadows, and winding ditches come together to form one of the most recognizable Dutch landscapes. Waterland is the ideal destination for those who want to combine Dutch nature, history, and relaxation. It is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites that bring the Dutch relationship with water to life: the Dutch Waterlines, with their forts, dikes, and inundation fields, and De Beemster Reclamation, a masterfully designed polder landscape. Waterland is the ideal destination for those who want to combine Dutch nature, history, and culture.
