Your day, your way.
Private tours in Amsterdam and private day trips across the Netherlands, led by a licensed local guide. Same routes as the small-group tours, your own group, your own pace. Or design something new, we love a brief. And if the day is really an occasion, a birthday, a company evening, a gala, that has its own page.
Who runs private tours and private day trips in Amsterdam?
EcoEcho Tours does. Antonis Iliadis, a licensed tour guide who lives in Amsterdam, guides private tours and private day trips himself, in English or Greek: walking tours of Amsterdam, countryside bike rides, and full days out to Keukenhof, Zaanse Schans, Volendam, Edam, Giethoorn, Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague. A private day is your group only, up to eight people on foot and in the van and up to fifteen on the bike rides, at your own pace. On a day trip the running order is rearranged around the weather rather than fixed in advance. Guests who use a walking stick, a walker or a wheelchair are welcome as long as they can stand and walk a short distance with help, and heavier mobility needs are discussed honestly before booking rather than promised. Prices are per group and shown on each tour, and days that do not exist yet are built from a brief.
Three things change.
The day is yours.
No strangers. Your group only: up to eight on foot and in the van, up to fifteen on the bike rides. Bring your own snacks, music, kids if needed.
The schedule bends.
Stop where you want, skip what doesn't interest you, linger at a viewpoint that catches you. We're not on a timer.
The route adapts.
Want Keukenhof + Brussels? Volendam + Bruges? A wedding photoshoot in Giethoorn? Tell us, we'll plan it.
A private tour means somebody is paying attention all day.
That is the part that does not fit in a description. It is a small group, it is your own group, and there is one person whose whole job that day is your day.
The plan moves with the weather.
On a day trip the order of the day is not fixed in advance. If the rain arrives at two, the indoor stops move to two. Guests write about this more than about any single sight: the day was rearranged around them and they still saw everything.
Walking sticks and wheelchairs, honestly.
Guests who use a stick, a walker or a wheelchair are welcome on a private day, as long as they can stand and walk a short distance with help. That is the honest limit, and it is the founder's own line: heavier mobility needs are not something to promise, because a day that does not work is worse than a day not booked. Tell me the situation before you book and you get a straight answer about which stops work.
One person, all day, reachable.
Antonis guides the day himself, in English or Greek, and stays reachable before it and during it. Not a call centre, not a different guide on the morning, not a script read off a card.
Pick a route, or design your own.
Twelve private routes plus fully custom days. Every tour below runs as a private booking, your pace, your group only, with door-to-door pickup on the van day trips.
