We booked a private tour with Stephan in Haarlem. I had been viewing his virtual tours for years, and it was a treat to meet him and have our own tour. We loved the pace of the tour, no rush, no crowds. We were able to walk many places in Haarlem, even had a beer in a church! I would highly recommend Stephan and his company.

What a Great Tour to Look and Learn! This tour was impactful and exceptional. Out tour guide Guido - was articulate, knowledgable, and patient (this was important - because it was warm!). His ability to speak in depth about the history pre-war, and the angst and sorrow - excellent. Ending with the tour of the Anne Frank House and Annex - pulled it all together. We would highly recommend.

Hands down the best tour company we have ever worked with while traveling. They were helpful and in constant communication. We were specifically looking for tickets to the Anne Frank House and when they were sold out, we had to look for private tours. I have been to the Anne Frank House before ( house/ museum only), but this walking tour before the visit was one of the most relaxed yet informative experiences I have ever had. Chris catered the tour to our group. He was knowledgeable, patient and kind. I can’t say enough about this tour. It was well worth spending more to get the history before going to the Anne Frank House. My young adult children loved it as well! Working with the company was top notch- beyond anything we have experienced…and we have been on a ton of tours. When we return I plan to use this tour company again for other experiences.

Christian was an absolute delight as our tour guide. Super knowledgeable about Amsterdam and its history but did not turn the tour into a recitation of dates and facts. His real life experience living on the canals helped us to understand what day today life in Amsterdam looks like. Touring with Christian was like touring with a longtime friend delighted to show you his town. The kind of guy you want to have a beer with…so we did and that was great too! Highly recommend

Guide Guido hat die Tour sehr informativ und interessant gestaltet. Die traurige Geschichte von Amsterdam und die der Anne Frank wurde entlang des Weges zum Versteck emphatisch geschildert. Mit der VR Brille das Haus zu sehen und dazugehörige Beschreibungen von Anne Frank aus ihrem Tagebuch zu lesen war aufschlussreich.

Well worth our time! I would highly recommend this tour! Our guide, Kaleigh, was very informative about the history, the culture and the experiences of the Jewish people during the war. This package includes and ends with a timed ticket to the Ann Frank house. Not to be missed with any visit to Amsterdam!

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

How long are private tours in the Netherlands?

Most private tours range from two hour introductions to full day experiences across the Netherlands. You can choose the length that suits your plans, and we are happy to adjust the timing to your schedule.

Can we start the tour outside of Amsterdam?

Yes. We offer private tours throughout the Netherlands and can meet you in cities such as Haarlem, Leiden, Utrecht, Rotterdam or The Hague. Pick up from hotels, cruise ports and airports is possible.

We can also do tours from the Belgium cities of Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent and Bruges.

Are private tours suitable for families?

Yes. We adapt the pace and activities so children stay engaged, and we love shaping tours that work well for families and guests of all ages. We can include parks, cafés, playful stops and routes that keep the day relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.

Can we customise the itinerary?

Every tour is fully customised. If you want to visit windmills, towns along the coast, historic cities or countryside villages, we plan an itinerary that suits your interests.

Do you offer private transport?

For day trips across the Netherlands, we arrange private transport with a driver guide (max 8 people) or a professional driver (more than 8 people). This allows you to explore several regions comfortably in one day.

Why do we use both Holland and the Netherlands?

Many travellers use the word Holland when they mean the whole country. Strictly speaking, Holland refers only to two western provinces, North Holland and South Holland, where cities such as Amsterdam, Haarlem, Leiden and The Hague are located.

The Netherlands is the official name of the country. Because many of our tours take place in both Holland and the wider Netherlands, we use both terms so international visitors can easily find the experiences they are searching for.

What languages do your guides speak?

Most tours are offered in English, although several of our guides also speak Dutch, German, French, Spanish or Portuguese. If you need a specific language, we can usually arrange it.

Do you offer pick-ups from hotels, airports and cruise ports?

Yes. We meet you at any location that suits you, including hotels, river cruise ports, ocean cruise terminals, and the main airports.

What is included in a private tour?

A private guide, a personalised itinerary, flexible routing and time for spontaneous stops are always included. Tickets, food or transport can be added depending on the tour you choose.
