Hello, I am Nidas! Your perfect local guide for Delft, Rotterdam and The Hague. I am a dedicated, cheerful, and enthusiastic 26-year-old student who, alongside studying, has been guiding in Rotterdam, Delft, and the surrounding areas for a number of years. Currently, I am studying econometrics at Erasmus University Rotterdam, but before this, I completed my bachelor's degree in Applied Physics at TU Delft. My roots are in North Holland and Lithuania. My fascination with cities and history began when I was a little kid. At that time, I didn't have a computer, and I would spend days flipping through an atlas my dad gave me. Now that I'm a bit older, that same love has transferred to Google Maps. In addition to my minor in Heritage & Design at the architecture faculty, I lived in Delft for 15 years and can tell you everything about this beautiful town. During this minor, I learned how Dutch cities and architecture has evolved from the year 1000 to 1930. I've read a lot about the time after 1930, which is necessary considering my current place of residence: the modern marvel called Rotterdam. These days, I also guide in Rotterdam, and although I've only lived here for three years, this city is becoming more and more my own. To accelerate that process, I started a tour last year visiting all 92 neighborhoods of Rotterdam, in alphabetical order! I'm currently half of the way through, adding a neighborhood every week, and posting pictures and info on social media. So, I'm the perfect person to take you around this city. From the renowned higlights to the local nooks and crannies! See you somewhere in the most diverse and beautiful province of the Netherlands: South Holland! My tours are flexible and it is always possible to make some changes in the itinerary. --CREDENTIALS-- - 3 years of guiding experience in mainly Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague (South Holland) - Half year minor degree in Heritage & Design at the architecture faculty of TU Delft - Bachelors degree in applied physics at TU Delft and currently studying for a master in econometrics at the Erasmus University Rotterdam - Drivers License for vehicles up to 9 persons ---------------------- I do not guide inside museums. I'll provide some basic information on what to expect and can assist in arranging audio tours or museum guides.

Discover the beauty Holland has to offer, without all the crowds. During this walking tour I will take you trough The Hague. A town that started growing around a 13th century former court of the Counts of Holland. For what reason is the government of the Netherlands located in this city? When did we lynch our "prime minister"? Why do Dutch people jest that The Hague is a village? You will learn everything and more during this walk. The Hague is also one of the most picturesque places in the Netherlands with cosy squares, many canals and 2 imposing churches. One gothic one from the 14th century which has a perculier 6 sided tower, and one from the Dutch golden age, built when we started being protestant. We will also stroll past the parliament, a very intriguing building complex. And see where the Prime minister has his office. And why do a tour with me here? I lived almost my entire life in a town called Delft next to it, and I've been to this city many times.
This tour lead by Nidas was so very informative. His extensive knowledge of The Hague helped us understand its roll throughout history. Nidas is professional, friendly, and conversational…something we look for in a private guide. We had many questions, and he answered them all so we had a better understanding of what we were seeing and learning. Highly recommend this tour!!
Nidas is a young, energetic, and knowledgeable guide, striving to share as much factual information about the history of the city, country and fully answering questions which go beyond the scope of the tour. Highly recommend this professional guide. Alex K
We enjoyed touring the Hague with Nidas, a second day in our itinerary with him as our guide. He met us in Delft and travelled the short train ride with us to the Hague. Nidas was a very friendly, thorough and entertaining guide. He provided a thorough overview of the important landmarks of the Hague, as well as background to the significance of the governmental functions. He flexed the timing of the tour so that we could spend time in the museums on our own following the tour. Thanks Nidas!
Nidas is an excellent tour guide. I like that he is accommodating and flexible depending on my interests and comments about history and architecture as well as new information and sites off the beaten path. Thank you for recommending the Panorama Museum which I loved! I want to thank Nidas for an interesting day in The Hague!
Nidas provided expert insight and background to the key sites around The Hague. My wife and I were thrilled to hear the history of the Hague and how it has changed over the years as he presented archival historical maps . Nidas' energy and love of the area is apparent as we engaged with him in conversation, of which his English is impeccable. We highly recommend Nidas for your guiding needs.
