    Diana is Adaptable

    "We spent a great day with Diana. We had booked a tour to Zaanse Schans, Volendam & Edam. As we started our drive to the country, Diana mentioned that this area was very crowded with tourists. We immediately told her - not for us! She pulled over, reset her GPS and took us to see an active windmill at Schermethorn. There were about 6 other tourists there. We visited delightful villages, had lunch in De Rijp and stopped at Simonehoeve, a traditional cheese farm to sample and purchase Gouda cheese. Again, very few tourists. A delightful end to our visit to the Netherlands."

    Great Tour with Christa!

    "Christa took us to the windmills and was very accommodating to our schedule. She explained the history and had such a nice personality that it made our tour fun and enjoyable. After the windmills, she took us through the city and gave us the highlights of Amsterdam. Wonderful tour!"

    Christa was Amazing!

    "We had an unusual request, on short notice, and Christa came through with flying colors! She was able to absolutely accommodate our request, on the fly, and then added in numerous other pieces that we would not have even thought of. She was incredibly warm and friendly, and so flexible with our day. I feel like we ended the day with a new friend :) Highly recommend Christa for any tour in the area. "

    Special experience!

    "Rubio was great local guide who led us on a 3 hour biking trek in the countryside outside of Amsterdam. We saw the most charming towns, visited a dairy farm, and learned so much more about the area. We felt like we were getting an inside look to the most special parts. We felt like a local (and thee exercise was refreshing as well). I can’t wait to go back and explore more. Thank you Rubio!!"

    Christa was a delight!

    "Christa shared a bit of her life in Amsterdam, which was very interesting for my grandchildren and me. We loved the visit to the village with the amazing windmills. We had no idea how large they are and their many uses. We sampled delicious cheese in Edam. We would love to have Christa guide us again."

Highly recommended, and great communication with our airport pickup, needed after 36 hours travelling. The Jaguar S type was the icing on the cake. Cheers"

Explore the Authentic Dutch Countryside

Escape the city and step into a living painting. The Dutch Countryside awaits with its iconic windmills, charming villages, and lush green pastures. A private tour of the Dutch Countryside is a must-do!

  • History of the Dutch Countryside Waterways

    Much of the iconic Dutch Countryside is man-made! For centuries, the Dutch have used a complex system of dikes, canals, and windmills to reclaim land from the sea, creating fertile polders below sea level.

  • Windmills of the Dutch Countryside

    The windmills of the Dutch Countryside are more than just landmarks. Historically, these powerful structures were industrial marvels, used for everything from pumping water to grinding grain and sawing wood.

  • A Taste of the Dutch Countryside: Cheese!

    Indulge in the true taste of the Dutch Countryside with its world-famous cheese. Visit a traditional farm to see how Gouda and Edam are made and sample the creamiest, most authentic cheese right at the source.

  • Clogs & Dutch Countryside Traditions

    Step into tradition in the Dutch Countryside. Wooden shoes, or 'klompen,' are not just souvenirs; they were the practical footwear of farmers. In villages like Marken, you can still see this heritage alive.

  • Charming Dutch Countryside Villages

    The charming villages of the Dutch Countryside are truly unique. Explore Volendam's bustling fishing harbor and Marken's distinctive green wooden houses, offering a glimpse into a timeless way of life.

  • Monet's Muse: The Dutch Countryside

    Did you know the French Impressionist Claude Monet was deeply inspired by the Dutch Countryside? He painted over 25 works near Zaandam, captivated by the unique light and the hundreds of windmills.
