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.

Overview of your Utrecht tour

Discover the beauty the Netherlands has to offer, without all the crowds. During this walking tour I will take you trough Utrecht. A town that already had a Roman fort in the 1st century! And is home to the tallest church tower of the Netherlands. For what reason does Utrecht have the biggest bike storage in the world? When did Utrecht decide to put a UFO on the biggest brick building of the country? Why do people say Utrecht has the most traditional student culture? You will learn everything and more during this walk. Utrecht is also one of the most picturesque places in the Netherlands with, what many consider to be, the most beautifull canals of the Netherlands, because of the unique double layer to it. We will also stroll past the many churches, see a windmill, ponder in secluded courtyards and marvel at architecture from all ages. And why do a tour with me here? I lived almost my entire life in a town called Delft close to it, and I've been to this city many times. I also worked here for over a year.
