Customers will be taken on a three-hour food tour, where they’ll pass by five local and unique places while they discover the city through its cuisine.

During the tour I'll tell about Rotterdam and it's history (and the history of the food), but we will also pass by the local chefs who can tell a lot about the city and her dishes as well. The tour includes: - 8-9 tastings, with optional drinks. - A food and travel loving tour guide. - A personal e-mail before and after the tour with food and travel tips about the Netherlands.

Winter, Frühling, Sommer oder Herbst. Delft überrascht Sie das ganze Jahr über! Die Stadtwanderungen von Do DELFT sind informativ, manchmal auch praktisch. Aber immer entspannt und einladend. Wir schlendern durch die Straßen, entlang der Kanäle und königlichen Plätze. Sie fragen sich, warum der Turm der Alten Kirche so schief steht? Möchten Sie wissen, warum die Delfter Keramik blau ist? Und welche königlichen Hoheiten befinden sich im königlichen Gewölbe? Die Guides von Do DELFT wissen Bescheid und werden es Ihnen selbstverständlich sagen! Die Tour endet nach 90 Minuten. Sie können dem Stadtrundgang alle Arten von Aktivitäten hinzufügen. Wie eine Werkstatt 'Töpfermalen' oder Radfahren in der Umgebung. Es wird Ihre beste Einführung in die Stadt sein! Ansonsten zu beachten Einige Tage vor unserem Spaziergang werde ich Sie per E-Mail kontaktieren. So kann ich Sie über die neuesten Details informieren. Ich biete meine Reiseleitung auch in Niederländisch und Deutsch an.

Together we are going to co-write one song from scratch and then we’re going to record (demoing) our fresh song idea in our recording studio. No experience required! It’s ok if you can’t play an instrument. What you bring along: Ideas for what you like to write about. It's OK to bring your own instrument. Bring something like pen and paper, laptop, iPad or phone to write down, and maybe hum, your lyric ideas. We have an acoustic guitar, electric guitars, bass guitar and piano in the house. What we will learn: - Co-write a song and all within a short timeframe of 3,5 hours. - Studio experience, by recording your vocal, or instrument. - We record the basic song idea, so mainly 2 tracks, the chords and the melody. - Author rights in co-writing sessions are always equally shared no matter how big or small each contribution. It’s a universal rule. After the song has been recorded, I send you off and spend 2 more hours or so on adding more instruments if necessary and mixing it together as a producer. Than, I’ll make you a mp3 for you to take home so you can play the demo/song-idea for your family and friends. Congrats ! You have written your very own song! Wheelchair accessible house.

HISTORY OF ROTTERDAM During this tour, my goal is to show you how Rotterdam’s unique history shaped the city. I will cover the history from roughly 1300 onward: from the birth and development of the city, to its destruction in 1940, and how Rotterdam rose from its ashes to become the intriguing city it is today. To enhance your understanding, I will bring along several (historic) maps and also touch upon Dutch history and culture in general. PRIVATE WALKING TOUR In 3 hours, we will traverse the city center by foot: from pre-war parts that survived the bombing, to reconstructed and newer areas.

This shoot is NOT in Amsterdam! :) It's in the cute city of Leiden, which I sometimes call "small Amsterdam". With similar houses at the canals and cute little streets, it looks a lot like Amsterdam but more local & less crowdy. We will do a photoshoot at the most beautiful places in the city. The Castle, Pieterskerk, cute streets and beautiful spots along the canals. TIME IS NEGOTIABLE! In summer, sunrise & sunset are the best times. Is it raining? Then we can reschedule or use umbrella's and dance in the rain ;) (No last minute cancellation due to rain) A shoot includes 25 edited photo's, you can pick your own favorites. Suitable for those who have never done a shoot before. Since I have a lot of experience in front of the camera, I can also help you with poses :) I am a local, I grew up in this city, so I know all the nice places. I travel a lot myself, as a digital nomad. So, I like to show people my city when I am in the country! Wear clothes you feel comfortable in. If you don't feel comfortable, it will show in the photos. Please let me know you'd want a clothes change, so I will adjust the route to pass some public toilets to change. :) Questions? Feel free to ask them.
