Cannot recommend this tour highly enough - fantastic !! Our guide Sarah was a terrific host, most informative about the history of the castle and the former owners. ... read more She had many detailed stories to tell about the family and the amazing architect who designed the castle. The tour was conducted at a very relaxed pace and Sarah was very entertaining in discussing life in the Netherlands.
Don’t look any further if you are after a small group tour.

  Small group tour of Vught concentration camp - I thoroughly enjoyed my small group tour of Vught Concentration camp. Our driver and tour guide Ava was very welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Ava... read more had a wealth of knowledge of the camp and also from her personal family experience during the war. She was very open to any questions, and stated that she would not be offended by any questions. I really do recommend this trip

  A Must Do while in The Netherlands - During our stay in Amsterdam, we participated in many tours with various companies and our tour with Dutch Tours was by far the most amazing. Not only was the experience... read more of seeing the seals in the Wadden Sea and learning about them and the birds a really special experience but it was our guide, Eva, who our family is still talking about. Eva was so knowledgeable, friendly, and warm to our entire family. After the seal tour, Eva took us to Medemblik, which was a wonderful stop where we ate and shopped around. We asked Eva to join us for lunch so we could treat her lunch and we had such lovely conversation. I'd go back to the Netherlands specifically to visit Eva and the seals again.

  The best tour ever! 100% recommended - A lot of tour options but none will be better than this one. Stop scrolling and book this tour you will not regret it. There are many places offering different... read more options but none really offer special care for families and people with disabilities. I booked a last minute tour with my 1 year old, 4 year old and my husband who has a walking disability and they did a remarkable job. They took us to the place, gave us the comfort need it when traveling with families, gave us a very detail tour, took us to a nice farm closed by to have lunch and brought us back. Again if you are traveling with family this is the best thing you can do. We will never forget this wonderful experience we have!

  Great excursion, even in not-great weather - Despite the cold, windy, and rainy weather (in August), which led to us seeing fewer seals than expected, our teens remember this as a highlight of our trip. Our guide... read more Sarah was kind and informative, and the 2 towns we stopped in were lovely. We enjoyed the boat ride and learning about the unique characteristics of the Wadden Sea. I highly recommend this fun and well-run excursion.

  Moving & Memorable - Eva was an exceptional guide in every aspect! Welcoming, polite, friendly and knowledgeable. Her personal family history added to the experience and we appreciated her effort to educate and... read more guide us through the camp. Eva's humility and genuine kindness were apparent from pick-up to drop off. My teenage son and I learned much more with the addition of Eva guiding us through the camp along with her perspective. Thank you so much! We will not forget this experience.

  This tour is a must do to understand more about how this war not only affected the people that lived through it but the generations that fallowed. Eva's stories helped... read more me to really feel and understand, maybe for the first time how devastating war is. Eva will make you feel like family and is the best tour guide I have come across in my travels. My whole family thought she was amazing and was grateful to have met her! Thank you Eva! If you ever come to South Carolina, I would love to show you and your family around!

  Nature calls - If you want to include a quick nature break from Amsterdam in your vacation plans this is the perfect company to go with. I chose the all day island tour... read more and found myself immersed in the natural beauty of the Netherlands. I loved the opportunity to walk and birdwatch in the amazing marshlands, travel by ferry and see the tidal fluctuations of the Waddenzee, watch the activities of resident seals and gulls, and see some smaller villages on Texel. Eva provided lots of interesting commentary and even catered to my interest in plants. I hope to come back in a different season and bring my family for another A+ experience. Thank you Dutch Tours!

  Wonderful and Informative - Our tour guide was very informative and I got a real feel of how it was back in WW2. I highly recommend this trip!

  We had a blast visiting the windmills at Kinderdijk and Dalft. Eva was fantastic, knowledgeable and fun. She was right on time, the car was spotless, and the ride was... read more easy. The windmills are spectacular and Dalft is beautiful. Highly recommended!!

  Wonderful experience! - This was a fantastic tour! We felt very safe and Sarah, our guide, was so knowledgeable and customized the tour for each of our interest. Texel is a beautiful place... read more and it was so great to experience it with someone who knew it well. It was also nice to get out of the city and see a different part of the Netherlands. Thank you!

  We had the best time on the full day tour to Texel Island! I took the tour with my in-laws and small children (ages 2 and 4) and it was... read more even better than advertised.

Eva was an amazing tour guide. She is knowledgeable, flexible, and patient. We ended up being the only booked group and she provided a completely custom experience. We walked in the mud of the Waddensea, watched seals frolic (you should definitely get the seal supplement!), ate the freshest fish for lunch, took the kids to pet lambs and other animals on a farm (that had a playground!) and then stopped for ice cream on the way back to the ferry. An incredible day trip from Amsterdam, especially with kids. One of her sons joined us since he was on a school holiday, and he was a fabulous impromptu guide for the kids.

Eva even had extra warm clothes for us, which were necessary and amazing because it ended up being a very cold June day. I would 110% do another tour the next time we’re in the Netherlands, and you should not hesitate to book a tour of your own.

  I highly recommend this tour. I am a history teacher and I gained so much from Eva and the camp. It was fascinating to see how the barracks would have... read more been set up. It was also sobering to see the original crematorium as well as the personal names and memorials of those who were in the camp. The small group made it easy for a solo traveller and Eva was happy to discuss any questions we had, not only from a historical point of view but also her family's experience. Thank you for such a memorable day. I will definitely book with Dutch Tours on another trip when I'm back!

  Thank you for making this happen for me! - I had a fantastic time on this tour. I appreciated the central meeting spot close to Amsterdam Centraal Station. I was visiting Amsterdam from another country and didn't know the... read more city very well outside the main tourist areas so this was easy for me to get to and was close to my hotel.

Eva was a terrific tour guide and she made it completely flexible for what we wanted to get out of the trip. On the day I went on the trip it was only myself and one other guest and she allowed us to tailor it to the specific activities we wanted to do. We started off visiting a lookout point and saw some deer grazing off in the distance. Binoculars were provided so that we could get a closer look. I appreciated that small detail.

My main focus after that was to visit the Kröller-Müller Museum to see the Vincent van Gogh paintings that they own. Several were bucket list items and I want to thank Eva and Dutch Tours for making it a reality that I could come to the national park and visit the museum and to have that moment. I traveled a very long distance to be there so thank you for making that happen for me, it means so much to me.

I spent most of my time in the Kröller-Müller Museum and honestly probably could have spent a few more hours there. It's beautiful, simple, and has an amazing collection of art. I unfortunately didn't have enough time to really explore the sculpture garden grounds but I still got a small taste of it. The other guest on the tour visited the museum as well for a short time and then met Eva to do a bicycle tour around different areas of the park. Again, our experiences were completely flexible to what we wanted to do once we were there. I really appreciated that aspect of the tour.

On our exit, we drove through more areas of the park to see more of it. It's a beautiful area and it was nice to get out of the city for a bit and see more of The Netherlands I would not have been able to otherwise. The three of us got along well and had a great time chatting on the drive back to the city. I'm very thankful Dutch Tours offered this small group tour to the national park and to the Kröller-Müller Museum. I would not have been able to visit it on my own, at least not very easily, so I'm so happy that they offered it and that it still happened even though it was only 2 of us that day.

Thank you Eva and Sarah!

  Highly Recommend! - I took the tour: Small Group Tour to National Memorial Camp Vught WWII from Amsterdam,  on 27 April 2023 from dutch tours; our guide was Sarah.  I found Sarah to... read more be extremely conscientious - for example, though not late, we were the last to arrive at the assigned meeting point, and Sarah called me to check on us and ensure she did not leave without us.  During the drive, she provided commentary on the experience of the Dutch people during WWII, and what we would see at the Concentration Camp.  Sarah also provided commentary on the Dutch people today, the EU, farming, etc.. We appreciated her comments throughout our time together; truly, it was wonderful to spend such a concentrated time (6 hours) with a native who could offer historical perspective as well as a contemporary slant and insight into the Dutch experience today.  I highly recommend both this tour, as well as the company, dutch tours.  Due to a major holiday, (Kings Day), my tour had an issue with timing and Sarah  pivoted to deal with a last-minute (ish) change at the museum in text as well as email - again, very conscientious.  (Also, wish to mention that like an idiot, I totally neglected to express my thanks in a meaningful way - with a tip!  Thankfully, I was informed later that several of our fellow tour group members remembered what I totally forgot to do...)
