After many jobs where I couldn't really find my site, one day I decided to study for a tour guide in The Netherlands, the most incredible thing is that I discovered that teaching others this country is not a job is a passion, and when you make your passion your way of life you can never say it's a job. This is why I think I am a good guide, because I enjoy every moment that I am on a tour, and that is noticed by my clients. I did not know the platform, but I have had the opportunity in the past to do tours with citizens of Japan, and the truth is the experience is very positive, very educated people and wanting to have fun. This is why I would love to work with you.

My tours were born from my passion for traveling and studying other cultures, from my avid late-night reading, and from meeting amazing, bright, and talented people from around the world. And, of course, it sprouted from my love for storytelling :). Now, there are 10 of us - guides in the Netherlands, Belgium, Serbia, Hungary, and Morocco. We are historians, designers, physicists, journalists, sociologists, and art historians. I am thrilled to share my knowledge and show you these fabulous and hidden places from a tourist's perspective. My team would be delighted to accompany you on this adventure full of unexpected discoveries as we travel through the centuries and immerse ourselves in the local culture!

I am the team leader of a group of professional guides. Each of us arrived to the Netherlands with our suitcases full of dreams, under different circumstances, and with different motivations. After some years working in the Tourism Industry, we decided to use that knowledge to start our own company. Our goal is taking advantage of our experience, and improve the weakness of the “traditional” Tour Operators. In 2017 our company was born willing to provide visitors a unique experience. There is not a better planner than a guide who knows the city and can make the best out of your time in the city. I believe that your memories are the most important part of the trip. We like to have a direct contact with our customers from the start, and tailor making your experience with the highest quality standards. Our team has been showing the best of the country over 10 years. My goal is to show you the heart and soul of the Netherlands. We love to see you smiling and enjoying each part of your trip with us. Always in a friendly and responsible environment, showing you the traditions and the Dutch way of living.

Get ready for a wild ride through the streets of Amsterdam with our amazing team! We all felt in love with Amsterdam, its charm, beautiful architecture and history. We are happy to show you the city in not typical, more alternative, fun, politically incorrect way. You can expect lots of colorful language, humor that may push the envelope, and, yes, a healthy dose of history thrown in for good measure. So, if you're ready to break away from the norm and experience Amsterdam like never before, then this is the tour for you! No holds barred, no snowflakes allowed!

Welcome, I'm Sebi and together with Olivier we have the best canal tour experience in Amsterdam. We are two true Amsterdammers who love our beautiful city. After years of captaining on the canals, we started our own company with a historic, now-modernized boat (“Giuliana”) to deliver the ultimate cruise experience. Our rebuilt 100% electric vessel provides the passenger with a comfortable (we have a toilet), safe and environmentally friendly experience with great visibility both on beautiful summer days (open) and in the cold, wet winter days (dry and warm). We cruise with a maximum of 12 passengers on our boat, providing a spacious and personal experience with many bespoke options like food and drinks, sailing routes etc.

Since 2005, we have been providing highly educated, Chinese - speaking guides, tour leaders, hosts and interpreters to companies and individuals. We have a wealth of experience and expertise in tour operating and with Chinese tourists. I have worked for several years co-ordinating representatives and tour managers for a number of operators. I was responsible for educating guides and tour managers as coordinator for the BUAS (Breda) and for the University of Inholland for the Tourism courses. "Tour leading groups is something that has to fit your personality and competencies. You must have a passion for people and adventure and the enthusiasm to inspire a new group every day. Together with these qualities, you must have comprehensive knowledge of the destination and its culture". The Chinese speaking guides of our team all work for us for more then 10 years. The are service - minded and very knowledgeable. Your wish is our command!

I was born in Amsterdam and have always fascinated by the city, its history and the vibrant culture. My parents told me stories about the war, and I liked to walk or cycle around finding the places they remembered and discovering hundreds of years of fascinating history along the way. I have travelled all around the world and have shown people around places like Paris, London, Portugal and Australia, New York and Santiago in Chile. Right now, I would like to be your host in Amsterdam and the Netherlands, with tours designed to take you of the beaten tracks, bringing the events of the past as close as possible to our experience today and sharing the stories I am excited about. It will be all about giving you the tour you are interested in, so all itineraries are private and fully customisable, to make sure that together we will have a good time!
