2. Are your tours suitable for people who want to research their family history?

Yes! I specialize in tours for people who want to learn more about their family members who were involved in WWII, particularly Canadians, British, and American. We'll help you prepare your research, and I'll literally take you along in their footsteps.

3. Are the tours private or group?

All my tours are private, tailor-made for you (and your family or group). No standard programs, just a personal approach.

4. Where do the tours start?

That depends on the tour. Many of my tours start in Amsterdam, but we can also start at a different location – for example, Arnhem, Maastricht, or elsewhere in the Netherlands and Europe. I will always pick you up from your hotel.

5. How long do the tours last?

This varies per tour. A short city walk takes about 3 hours. Day trips usually last 6 to 8 hours. Multi-day programs are also possible – we're happy to tailor them to your needs.

When booking a tour, you can purchase cancellation insurance for a small fee. This insurance will refund your money within the terms and conditions described. If I have to cancel the tour due to force majeure, the full amount will always be refunded.

Absolutely, the day is yours, and depending on your wishes, energy levels, the weather, or anything else, we can adjust the tour on the spot. This way, every tour is different.

Yes, I have worked with local guides with special expertise in the past and will continue to seek collaboration in the future.

13. Do you also provide tours with different themes?

Certainly, upon request, it is possible to organize trips around music, nature, culture, and also throughout Europe. For example, following in the footsteps of Mozart, the stories of Grimm, or the role of rivers.
