Description
Amsterdam is a friendly, charming city and known for its laid back atmosphere. A guided tour in your language (Dutch, English or French) is interesting for all family members. I adapt to you and I will be very flexible. I am Dutch and born in Amsterdam so I know Amsterdam very well. I will of course also give you suggestions for nice restaurants and places to make the most of your day / stay in Amsterdam. It is therefore a tailor-made visit: an à la carte visit!

Tour outside Amsterdam
We are 3 friends who wanted to discover life outside of Amsterdam and especially without an audio guide!! And we had a great day with Franck. He took us in a Mini (the best) to Les Moulins in Zaandam, to a farm that makes Gouda and to visit the villages of Volendam and Marken. His choice of restaurant was perfect and his explanations allowed us to get to know the Netherlands better. I recommend Amsterdam a la carte!!

Beautiful discovery of Amsterdam
Marieke organized 2 visits: one on foot with Rochelle, her daughter, who speaks perfect French. Leading us around the different neighborhoods she told us the history of Amsterdam with many anecdotes and gave us very good addresses to eat. The second, on bike with Monique, very joyful and very enthusiastic about the idea of making us discover the neighborhoods of this very pretty city. We highly recommend this guide agency!! Looking forward to seeing you again!

Great privately led tour of Amsterdam!
Marieke was great! Very knowledgeable and was able to show us more local and detailed areas of Amsterdam that you would see on your own. She was able to explain some very interesting historical facts about Amsterdam and teach us the history of the beautiful canals. We would definitely recommend her for future visits.

Serious and friendly guide
We are a family of four with two children. We made two visits with Marieke: the centre of Amsterdam and the discovery of fishing villages and mills in the surrounding area. In both cases, Marieke was a very pleasant guide. She knows her country well and has many fun stories to tell to interest both children and adults (my children will remember a story evoking Napoleon and a rabbit!). He is a friendly guide and provided us with plenty of good advice for our stay. We can only advise you to call on his services.
