Looking for Private Tour Companies in Amsterdam...Any Suggestions Welcome.

[2Canucks]

I will be staying in Amsterdam for a 5 day pre cruise stay in April 2016 and would really appreciate any suggestions you might have for a Private Tour Guide.

 

My Dad was part of the Liberating force in Holland (Canadians) during WW2 so would like to visit some Canadian War sites and Cemetaries as well as the historical sites in Amsterdam and surrounding area out of this city.

 

Thank You in advance for any information you can share with me.

Many cruisers have toured with this man, he speaks perfect english, has good knowledge but is not a professional guide: http://dagtoertaxi.nl/services.html

 

In case you prefer a certified guide check this list: http://www.guidor.nl/en/

This was several years ago but we used Wijnand van Diggelen. I have two emails for him w.diggelen and the other is wynievandiggelen both aret at quicknet.nl. I hope he is still in business because he was very accommodating for our two days there and we able to see everything that we requested.

Saskatchewan lad here......Awesome walking tour http://www.historywalks.eu/ Soo much information. He sends you a pile of information when you sign up....and more info after the tour! Small groups and goes at a slow pace...Highly recommend!!

We used http://www.tourist-shuttle.com/about-us Gal Efron as our private guide for 3 days in the Netherlands in 2013 prior to a business trip to Zurich. We had previously been to Amsterdam pre-cruise, so we wanted time in the countryside. He was wonderful! We stayed in Haarlem as opposed to the city and I had already done my homework on the towns and sites we wanted to see. He tweaked my itinerary and we were able to see so much. We would go back to the Netherlands in a heartbeat! If you are interested in more information on our itinerary, please email me at e.kessner1@verizon.net.

Hi Pat,

We had a wonderful guide, Gerk Kazemier, for an all day tour of the countryside. Speaks great English, has comfortable car, and very knowledgeable. There were four of us. His address is http://www.hollandpersonaltourguide.nl.He will do walking tours also.
