Tom's TEAM | about the guide

Amsterdam is the city of a thousand bicycle paths, well known for its eco spirit. Discover that green atmosphere through a bike tour with a local guide! You will find numerous shops offering ethical products and brands, promoting fair trade and organic manufacturing in such domains as cosmetics, gastronomy, fashion, accessories and interior design. You will also meet their owners and creators, all passionate entrepreneurs who decided to delve deep into sustainable trade. As you go from one shop to the next, pedaling all the while on Amsterdam's bridges, you will get to fully appreciate the beauty and tranquility of the omnipresent canals, which are part of UNESCO's World Heritage. You will also get private tours of both the most famous locations in town and the lesser known but just as charming sites. At the end of your bike ride, you will go to the Nederlandsche Zeepfabriek workshop, an organic soap factory in which you will learn how to make handmade soap using only natural essential oils, in accordance with the traditional Dutch way. After your workshop, your guide will take you to dinner at Instock, a local and eco-sustainable restaurant.

Born and raised in Amsterdam, I travelled the world as a photographer and a travel editor in more than 100 countries before coming back to my true home and becoming a tour guide. Proud of my beautiful city, I wanted to show visitors the true essence of Amsterdam, bringing them to places unknown and inaccessible by the common tourists. My experience as a professional traveler taught me to look at a new city from a different perspective and I decided to transmit this awareness while organising customized private tours: with my companion and collaborator Ana, I founded my own company, a boutique tour company who's adventure started few years ago thanks to the energy of wonderful and passionate guides with rich knowledge and expertise: historians, teachers, journalists and artists aiming to show you the best of the Dutch Capital off the beaten paths in an ecofriendly and fun spirit. Historian and European Modern Age teacher, Ana loves details that make a city or an history unique and memorable. She also knows every inch of Amsterdam and loves telling stories when walking or cycling past the canals, the buildings and the city's highlights such as the Rijksmuseum or Anne Frank's house. As a photographer, I personally enjoy teaching photography technique in Amsterdam and its surroundings while guiding visitors. Discover the city's sustainable gastronomy through a cycling tour, enjoy a photography course focused on colors in the heart of the city or in a tulips field, and learn about flowers in a small and picturesque dutch village.

"We had a spectacular trip in Amsterdam with Tom. He took such good care of my mom, my sister, and me. He is an outstanding guide, a warm and genuine person, and that special type of individual who loves to find the beauty in life. The memories from the day we had in Amsterdam as well as our day trips are so special. Tom goes well beyond good service. Truly exceptional experience and I would book again each time I came to Amsterdam. We loved Tom and give him our highest recommendation. — Joy - United States Written before the UTF site launch"
