Spend eight hours exploring the Dutch countryside in a private vehicle with guides such as Stefka, Niels, Hans, Miko, or Caspar. Your guide builds the day around your interests, from cheese farms and windmills to Delft, Giethoorn, tulip fields, local food, or family roots.

“I’ve hesitated to write this review because our driver was such a nice person, but people around me have urged me to write. We paid almost $1000 for a car and guide to visit the Mauritshuis, Delft and Keukenhof. At the start of the trip, I made it clear that I was very interested in all the details about the Netherlands: geography, history, politics, etc. Unfortunately, all we got was a car and driver. Unless I asked a specific question, our so-called “guide” didn’t offer any information. The very reason I often hire a private guide is to have a better, fuller tourist experience than I’d get sitting in a…”
