Where would we be without our great and loyal tour guides?
We are very happy to introduce you to our wonderful tour guides. In the past few years, we have met many great tour guides throughout the Netherlands who can tell you lots about the surroundings. Not only are they certified to provide (accessible) guided tours, they also know which routes are the most convenient for you. If you want to rest, just let the guide know and he’ll find a nice restaurant to relax and have a drink.
Below you’ll find the tour guides we work most with. Should you have other wishes or needs, please let us know and we’ll find you a suitable guide!
