Your Private Spring Journey

Exclusively for you and your party

🌷

Keukenhof Gardens (At Your Pace)

We start the day at the "Garden of Europe". Since this is a private tour, you are not rushing to catch a bus. I hand you your tickets and you have plenty of time to wander freely. Want to stay longer? No problem. It's your day.

📸

Bonus: Exclusive Tulip Hunts

Between April 12th and May 3rd (nature permitting), we go off the beaten path. With our private vehicle, we can access smaller roads and hidden fields that big buses can't reach. We'll stop for photos wherever you want, ensuring you get that perfect shot without the crowds.

🧀

Private Farm Visit

We visit a traditional farm for an authentic experience. You will enjoy a personal demonstration of clog carving and cheese making. Take your time to taste the Gouda and ask as many questions as you like - you have the guide's full attention.

🍪

Volendam (Lunch at Leisure)

We head to the harbor of Volendam. Start with a cookie tasting, then enjoy lunch at your leisure. As a private guest, you can choose where to eat from a quick herring stand to a nice sit-down restaurant overlooking the IJsselmeer. I'll share my top local recommendations.

💨

Zaanse Schans (Flexible Timing)

We aim to visit the windmills when the bulk of the crowds have left. Walk among the historic green houses and industrial windmills. Being a private tour, we can adjust our departure time if you wish to linger longer and watch the sunset over the river Zaan.

Private Tour FAQ

🏨 Where do you pick us up?
Anywhere in Amsterdam! We will pick you up directly from your hotel lobby, your Airbnb address, or the River Cruise Passenger Terminal (PTA). Just let us know your location when booking.
⚡ Can we customize the itinerary?
Absolutely. That's the beauty of a private tour. If you want to spend 4 hours in Keukenhof and skip the cheese farm, we can do that. If you want a longer lunch by the sea in Volendam, it's up to you. It is your day.
🚐 What kind of vehicle is used?
We use modern, air-conditioned mini-vans (like Mercedes V-Class or similar) ensuring comfort and plenty of legroom. Since it's private, you have the whole vehicle to yourselves.
🥪 Is lunch included?
We include generous tastings (cheese, cookies), but a full lunch is not included. This allows you the freedom to choose any restaurant in Volendam—from fresh fish stands to high-end dining—based on your preference and budget.

💎 Your Exclusive Dutch Puzzle: Water, Wind & Flowers

A Dialogue, Not Just a Tour: While the Netherlands exports nearly 7 billion flower bulbs, your private experience goes much deeper than the statistics. At your own pace, we connect the pieces of the past. We explore the unfiltered story of the tulip, from the Tulip Mania (1637) to modern trade, tailored specifically to your interests and questions.

Connecting the dots – exclusively for you:

  • Zaanse Schans (Industrial Focus): We take the time to explain why these mills were the world's first industrial zone. We can dive deep into how they sawed wood for ships or pressed oil, fueling the Golden Age.
  • The Polders (Water Management): Understanding the struggle with water is complex. We use visual tools and conversation to show you how dry land was created for the cows and flowers.
  • Volendam (Culture & Trade): Beyond the tourist path, we discuss the authentic history of the Zuiderzee and the fishing culture that fed the nation.

Flexible, educational, and focused on meaningful conversation.
