Walking Tours in the Netherlands – Private, Personal & Local

All private walking tours

Discover the Netherlands with private walking tours designed by locals. Our tours take you beyond the guidebooks — into hidden streets, quiet courtyards, and stories you won't find on signs. Every walk is personal, small-scale, and thoughtfully paced. We focus on connection, curiosity and comfort - no crowds, no rushing. We believe in travel that respects local life. That's why we keep our groups small and move gently through the places we visit. 

ALKMAAR Explore charming streets, hidden courtyards, and Alkmaar’s famous cheese history on a quiet walk through this quaint city just north of Amsterdam.
