Overview of your Amsterdam tour:

Hesitant about mass tourism but eager to see all the highlights? This tour is perfect for you! In 4 to 5 hours, I’ll take you by private car along narrow dike roads to explore the breathtaking Dutch reclamations. We’ll visit a beautifully restored windmill and stop at De Rijp, a charming village with its historic town hall, wooden bridge, and centuries-old houses. Despite being part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, the oldest polder in the country (completed in 1612!) feels serene, with few tourists due to its remote location. Instead, you’ll encounter locals, peaceful meadows, and grazing herds. This signature tour is designed to offer a truly authentic experience of the Dutch countryside. Along the way, I’ll share fun stories, from quirky Dutch expressions to the meaning behind clog decorations. Available year-round, the itinerary may vary slightly in the off-season (November to March) to include alternative windmills or villages, depending on seasonal openings.
