One size doesn't fit all, so we are more than happy to tailor the tour to your request. Perfect for returning visitors to Amsterdam. The Vecht River area has almost too many interesting things to visit, but you are touring with an insider. So if you are for example interested in a specific theme in relation to the river, such as the historical Unesco water defense line ('Stelling van Amsterdam') and the related 'Hollandse waterlinie', we can adjust the tour for that in particular. Perhaps you would like to follow your ancient family roots in this area, or you want to combine a private boat cruise with paying a visit to the unique Healey sports car museum in Vreeland including hotel pick up/drop off. 

Another suggestion, do a guided tour with the Slot Zuylen Castle and his gardens, situated in the tiny picturesque village of Oud-Zuilen and known by its most famous resident Belle van Zuylen (Isabelle de Charrière), writer of fame and feminist avant la lettre. 

Just let us know what you would like to do, and we will come up with a customized proposal meeting your own dream tour.
