The 1st thing I took notice of was how cooperative, flexible and fast responding Ray was. The trip was great and both informative and very enjoyable. If I had more time in the Netherlands I would have defiantly went on other packages with them. I'll make sure to recommend this firm to everyone who is going to Holland. Thanks again... More

After a river cruise, we planned to stay in Holland a little longer to catch up with family. It had been 30 years since our friend had seen his Uncle and it was the number one thing on our list to do. The family live 3 hours from Amsterdam.We looked at hiring a car and driving ouself. However, we had... More

During a recent business trip to Amsterdam, we booked a private tour with Private Holland Tours to travel north of Amsterdam (an area we had not yet visited). Raymond Vandenberg, a former journalist and owner of the tour company was our driver and guide. We often do such private tours when traveling abroad instead of renting a car, as it... More

My wife and I spent two days with Ray in and around Amsterdam. We'd never been to the region before and asked Ray to give us a feel for the area. He did that and much, much more. He was on time, prepared, knowledgable, funny and very personable. He gave us the perfect introduction to the Netherlands and blended the... More

Before we left Idaho, (home) we were inquiring about Tour Guides for Amsterdam on the internet..

He responded immediately with detailed information. We decided to retain him for three full days.... More

My teenage son and I had a wonderful day. I was the perfect thing to do when time is limited as we were able to see so many things. The additional guides for the museums were superb and the boat trip on the canal was a highlight for my son. More

Your guidance made the day truly memorable and we appreciated your expert knowledge and great sense of humor. We thoroughly enjoyed our itinerary and would highly recommend you to others who... More

Raymond, Thank you so much for the wonderful tour you gave us of your beautiful country. Your services allowed us to see much more of Holland than we could have done on our own during our short 2 day stay. We especially appreciated your punctuality picking us up at our hotel each morning and your willingness to drive my family... More

We took the Zaanse Schans & Marken Tour with Raymond. We went with our two kids, 10 and 13, and it took about 7 hours. He picked us up at our hotel and dropped us back off there at the end. Ray says Zaanse Schans & Marken is the most popular tour, which makes sense -- you see the countryside,... More
