Hidden Holland Private Tours: 2025

Hoi! I’m Gerrit, your born and raised local guide and the owner of Hidden Holland.

I take you beyond the tourist routes to places where locals actually go. No tour schedules written in stone, no rushed group tours, and definitely no tourist traps.

I’ll pick you up from your accommodation, handle all tickets and parking, and show you the Netherlands through my local eyes. Every tour is built around what matters to you, at your pace.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book a tour with you as my guide?

I run all the tours above. When I’m unavailable on your preferred date, I may suggest other guides from my network – but that’s your choice. You’ll always know who your tour guide is before you book.

Do I need to pay for my tour in advance?

Book 30+ days ahead and choose your payment plan: Make a 25% deposit now and pay the rest 3 days before the tour, or save 2% by paying in full immediately. For bookings within 30 days, full payment is required. Cancellation policy applies.

What is your cancellation policy?

For cancellations, you’ll receive a full refund up to 60 days before the tour or a 50% refund between 59 and 3 days ahead—no cancellations are possible within 72 hours of the tour start. I’ll try to help with rebooking, but options may be limited.

Are tips included?

Tips are not included. If you are wondering what a good tip is; €100 per day tip is a good starting point. Less if you feel the tour did not met your expectations, more when you truly loved your tour. But tipping in the Netherlands is always optional and at your discretion. Tips need to be earned.

Can you accommodate special requests?

I’ll always do my best to accommodate you. Just fill out the appropriate box on the booking form.

Are tours suitable for children or travelers with mobility issues?

It all depends on the tour. But usually, yes, they are. Just let me know in the comments field when booking, and I’ll inform you within 24 hours if I can accommodate your request.

What is the maximum group size for private tours?

Tour prices listed are for 1-2 people. There is an additional fee per person above that. The maximum group size is up to 6 people in total. On the booking form, you can select the total number of people in your party and see the correct price for your tour.

What languages do you offer tours in?

I can offer tours in English, Swedish, and Dutch. My level of English is near proficient. I speak and write English daily, have American friends, have lived in the US for a while, and have had an English-speaking job at Amsterdam Airport. Dutch is my native language. I’m conversational in Swedish.

Do you provide transportation during the tour?

Transportation is included with all my tours. I use a small SUV for groups of up to 4 people or a luxury KIA EV9 for larger groups. Both cars are fully electric. The EV9 is also available for smaller groups at an extra cost. It comes standard for every tulip tour. Tours include pick-up from your hotel.

What should I wear or bring during the tour?

It’s best to wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking and adapt your clothes to the weather. Bring a water bottle and a fully charged phone to take plenty of pictures.

Don’t worry if you forgot your water. I always carry an extra bottle and gladly provide you with one free of charge. I have a battery pack (with a lightning and USB-C cable) if needed.
