Hello! A very warm welcome in the country of my forefathers, the Netherlands. Come and discover this magnificent piece of the world at best, with a genuine trustworthy Dutch born friend. That is how I like to present myself, a true friend of you. Emphasizing that your safety and wellbeing is number one on the list. Ofcourse right beside having a magnificent time exploring the wide variety of deeply interesting places. I know this country, where my familytree goes back all the way to the beginning. Let me show you how we live, what we do, wooden shoes, bicycles, windmills and much more particularities. Visit the wellknown highlights, but also enjoy places where tourists do not come. I take great pride in my country, of which almost half is below sealevel. Experience the Netherlands like a Dutchman, and understand our everlasting fight to the water. Along with numerous landmarks and specialties this makes a visit very worthwhile and a top notch experience. Also private tours to or from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport to Rotterdam area. Enjoy the safety of a private tour in a accomodating friendly atmosphere to your cruiseship or hotel in the Rotterdam area. Airport tours from Schiphol Airport southbound (Belgium) possible. I hold all appropiate licenses in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe. My character is open, friendly and accommodating. Flexibility is a keyword, as is honesty and kindness. I am a people person. Most of my tours include the well known highlights. However I like to encourage you to visit the lesser known destinations. There is so much more to see and experience in the more rural areas. Generally these areas are also less crowded. If there is a specific destination you like to visit, let me know. I can customize a tour to your wishes. My goal is to provide a wonderfull experience for you, which brings fun and facts, but above all a wonderful memory to take home. Let me be your local eye and give you the inside information which can only be given by a local born. Come join me! Safety, reliability and giving you a good time are my top priorities.
