Welkom! I'm Hans, a true Dutchman and tourism professional since 2010. In 2025, I earned my taxi-drivers license, which means I obey all the Dutch laws, when it comes to guiding and driving you safely through the Netherlands. Together we discover the most beautiful places in the Dutch countryside, as new friends. I live in Rotterdam, where I was born and raised. After 32 years teaching at an elementary school, I decided it was time for a change and became a tour guide. During my working years in The Netherlands, I travelled a lot. From 1980 I travelled to different countries outside Europe. Since 2010 I am guiding groups in especially India, but also Nepal and Bhutan. And since 2022, after Covid, I have been working as a private guide in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is such a beautiful country and I love to explore it with you. The green meadows with cows and above it the Dutch blue skies with some clouds. Just like a 17th-century Dutch painting. In springtime decorated with the most amazing colors of blooming flower fields, yellow daffodils, red tulips, white fragrant hyacinth fields. It's a beautiful scenery that you can't see anywhere else. Place a few windmills there and you have the perfect Dutch landscape. To make sure people can still fall in love with the Dutch countryside in the future, I offer my tours sustainably. We travel off the trotted (and often harmful) tourist paths, try to reduce CO2 and when not possible compensate the emissions. Are you ready to explore the Dutch countryside with me? # Tourism professional since 2010. # Licensed taxi-driver # Private Tour guide since 2022. # Approved guide Keukenhof tulip gardens. # Registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. # IVOR Education for tourleader # Registered at ANVR The Dutch Association of Travel I do not guide inside museums.

Overview of your Amsterdam tour
From your accommodation in Amsterdam it is only a short drive to Amstelveen. Visit Clara Maria, a 160-year-old Cheese Farm and Clog Factory nestled in the serene polder landscape, a historic barn where you can feed the cows, visit the wooden shoe workshop and experience the cheese-making facility. De Rijp is a quaint idyllic village, off the tourist track. Step back in time and walk the cobbled streets. In the lush, green Dutch countryside, you visit one of the iconic windmills of Holland. Step inside these historic structure to witness their operations and learn how large families lived within. Cap off your journey in Edam, an authentic local village with charming architecture and welcoming residents. Immerse yourself in the quaint atmosphere and engage with the friendly people of this picturesque locale. All these typical Dutch highlights are away from the main tourist track for an authentic and unique experience.
