I believe that making tourists feel at home and making them smile is important. As an official tour guide who is born and bred in Amsterdam, I offer my customers a wealth of information on history, art, architecture, and social life. People experience my tours as personal, specialized, fun, and state to have a new friend at the end of the day.

Description
I’ll meet you at the bike rental shop, your hotel or any other prearranged place in Amsterdam. We’ll get going as soon as you’ve rented a bike. We’ll cover quite a bit of ground on this tour, however along the way there'll be several opportunities to either go the distance or head back to Amsterdam depending on your energy levels.
Just outside Amsterdam, a completely different world unfolds. Flat countryside, ditches and gullies. Cows, sheep and horses. Typical North Holland farms, cute villages (Broek in Waterland for instance) and polder landscapes with dykes and sluices...
Throughout the tour I’ll explain all there is to know about reclaiming land, polders, polder politics, water boards, dykes and dams. I’ll also tell you why it began in the first place and why it wasn’t the government who paid for this enormous engineering marvel.
Halfway along we'll stop for a pancake lunch at one of the most picturesque places in Holland.

I finally settled on Red light district tour and a 5hr bike tour into the countryside as seeing the windmills were also one of my must-dos! Rolf picked me up for the RLD tour at my hotel. The tour was not only informative, but he also shared many fun stories on the RLD. On top of the RLD, he also made extra efforts to point out some little hidden "gems" of Amsterdam! Interesting little places, totally hidden from the main streets!.. I am sure MANY will MISS it.. if not for Rolf!!
The next day, i went on a bike tour around Amsterdam and into greater Amsterdam! Of course i got the picture of my windmill! Rolf definitely has a vast knowledge of architecture. Along the bike tour, he never fails to point out not only places of attractions, but also the different interesting architecture of Amsterdam. As a tourist, i find that very informative, and helps me remember places better! Rolf have that personal touch, easy going, always having a story in place. There was not one awkward silence given there were just him and me on the trip! In fact, as some reviews said, Rolf feels more like a long time buddy than a tour guide!
For anyone who wants to see Amsterdam, Rolf definitely the one!!! To me, the tour was beyond expectations. I wanted to see Amsterdam, he showed me the REAL Amsterdam and on top of that, i felt he also gave me a glimpse of the culture, history and even the lifestyle of the Dutch. Kudos to Rolf!
