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!

  Fantastic! - Sarah was a charming and knowledgeable guide. She took us to a tiny, quaint farming village, a stop at some eye-popping tulips and a sweet little fishing village. Sarah is... read more an accomplished birder and knew the history and ecology of the area well.

The Friesian horses at this stable... read more are simply beautiful and very well-cared for. The facilities are modern and clean, and the indoor arena is spacious with top quality footing, making it a great place to ride no matter the weather. What's more, the horses are visibly happy and content, which speaks volumes about the care they receive.

During my 1.5-hour ride through the forest, I had the opportunity to trot and canter through the beautiful scenery. The guide, who rode alongside on a bike, was incredibly knowledgeable and provided helpful advice on safety and my position in the saddle. I was impressed by how professional and friendly the team was, making me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire experience.

If you're looking for an authentic Dutch experience that showcases the beauty of the country's nature reserves, I highly recommend this activity.

Riding and meeting native Friesian horses in the Netherlands is a fantastic way to enhance your trip to/around Amsterdam.
