Things to Do in Netherlands

We chose the private tour because we are unable to catch the guided tour timing. We completed the private tour in about an hour. Main reason is our guide, Peter provided us with verbal explanation of van gogh life and how to look out for his works right at the beginning. so we navigating through the exhibits easily. Meet up is not difficult as he arranged to meet us outside a burger restaurant opposite the main entrance of the musuem. We enjoyed the tour and learn much on van gogh.

Convenient meeting point close to our 5star hotel, enough cheese, wine & bread to last an hour & half, which ended up feeling like 10 minutes as two yanks talked our heads off…but overall very satisfying.

A great tour with a wonderful guide

This was one of our favourite experiences the whole holiday. Well worth the price and so much fun! They had loads of toppings to put on our fresh pancakes and we gorged ourselves, the view was also really pretty.

from checking our tickets to boarding and the tour itself, Elzo and Ilja were full of stories about the history of Amsterdam and never failed to make us laugh and enjoy the scenery. we had so much fun touring the canal and seeing the city.

We enjoyed the cruise very much. Two hours felt far too short, as Captain Erik’s stories were so engaging that we hardly had enough time to take in the beautiful views of the canals. There was a nice selection of snacks and drinks, making it easy to relax. The small group size also created a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!!!

Well organized and driven in clean, air-conditioned bus to beautiful tulip fields and then to the unbelievable, beautiful Keukenhof gardens.

Rolf is well studied in Van Gogh’s life, works and techniques. He speaks perfect English (having lived in NYC), and was able to quickly gauge our group’s intersest and tailor our visit accordingly. This is a very busy museum, particularly in the Summer, and having a guide like Rolf to manage your time, focusing on the interesting and important pieces was invaluable. Highly recommend!
