Hi, my name is Bart. Great news that you're planning to visit The Netherlands. I'd love to contribute to make your stay unforgettable. I live with my family in the middle of Amsterdam and we enjoy the city every day. With my own consultancy firm I work with people from all over the world. It is so much fun to meet new people with completely different backgrounds and hearing their stories. My family and I also have great memories of our three years stay in Charlotte, North Carolina. I'm passionate about history, culture and art to feel and understand the choices made by people and to discover their stories that affect our lives today. If ever I'd need to stay on a desert island, I'd definitely bring my jazz music, mountain bike, great beers and cheese. I enjoy sharing my love for Amsterdam and all the incredible sites The Netherlands has to offer. I'm looking forward to showing you around and for you to experience and enjoy these special places. There are so many nice places to visit. So, if you have any special requests, I can easily set up a custom tour for you. All my regular tours are priced with Amsterdam as our starting point. But, should you want to start anywhere else, that's absolutely no problem. If you would like to compile a multi-day program with me? No problem! Just let me know and we'll put a nice program together. I love to customize my tours to your preferences and ideas. Half of my tours are custom tours! Next to my regular tours I would love to show you Belgium (e.g. Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels). If you would like to do that out of Amsterdam I might be a very suitable tourguide for you. I've toured with travelers from all over the world: USA, Canada, Germany, Malaysia, Mexico, Guatemala, England, Kenia, South Africa, The Philippines and Hong Kong. Always a joy to have fun with foreigners!

Overview of your Utrecht tour

Do you love Amsterdam? Are you up for another Dutch city gem? Want to go off the beaten track? Then Utrecht will be a great destination. We'll walk through the Utrecht centuries. It was the largest city in The Netherlands before Amsterdam took over. We'll experience the world-unique wharf-canal grid, its medieval heritage and current vibrant network of café's. Utrecht is an alive, academic centre with many students. The 368 feet Dom church dates back to 1254AD. We'll stroll along the canals and medieval alleys. We'll take as many breaks as we want in the wonderful Utrecht cafe's. Utrecht takes a special place in our history and in current day Netherlands. Are you ready to hear my Utrecht stories? Any thoughts to tweak our program? No problem! Just let me know. This is all about you :-)

Your Utrecht tour itinerary

I'll pick you up at your Amsterdam hotel at 10AM. We'll jump in a car or van to Utrecht. And we will be back at your Amsterdam hotel at approx. 3.30PM. In our citywalk we'll hit: Dom church, the Dutch pope's house (1517AD), The 1583AD civic orphanage, Saint Catherine's Convent, Janskerk/St.John's church from 1040AD, Charles V's home in Utrecht who ran the Holy Roman/Spanish empire for decades. We'll crash at one or more of my favourite Utrecht café's. In short: we'll have a packed program! A cool optional thing: the Speelklokmuseum with its unique collection of playing historic street/café organs (big fun, believe me!).
