3 - The James Hotel was excellent, sleek and modern, but room 410 was too dark and would benefit from an additional standing light or brighter and dimmable ceiling lights. The $15 vouchers each per person, per day, were perfect for a delicious, hearty breakfast, plus evening snacks and drinks were great. The hotel staff and cafe personnel were professional, super friendly and helpful! A+
4 - The Huys van Leyden Boutique Hotel was so beautiful. The amazing breakfast buffet, plus made to order omelets and pancakes were sooo delicious. Our room #12 was clean and beautiful, also was our favorite hotel room on the trip. However, the stairs to our room and then the 2nd floor stairs to the bathroom would be an issue for some one older with mobility issues but we loved it! The outside rooftop patio was a special treat, but needed to be swept. We would suggest a total of 4 chairs outside, since we were traveling with another couple, and we had a lovely Happy Hour there. Love the green parrots and magpies flying around! The bed pillows were too soft and fluffy. Suggest the addition of 2 firm pillows per room. The staff there were excellent, friendly and most accommodating. A+
5. All of the museums, the canal tour, the Anne Frank House, the bike reservations, Keukenhof Flower Show and Parade, the trip to Gouda with the wine and cheese tasting were all excellent. It was extremely helpful to have all the ticket reservations made in advance, along with the train, bus and tram passes too! It was the trip of a lifetime in a magical country!

April 2026 Trip to The Netherlands

So there are travel guides, and then there is Bas. He has completely redefined the concept of a travel guide for me. From our initial contact, I could tell he had a personal interest in getting our trip just right. Delving into our specific interests, accommodating for necessary flexibilities, and making the whole experience so personalized that I felt I was communicating with a friend, Bas left no stone unturned in crafting the perfect trip for us through Eastern Holland on our seven day bike trip.

His attention to detail, his flexibility on making changes, and his overall enthusiasm make him the best tour guide that we have ever used. He fully engaged in our subject matter (visiting World War II sites and museums), he ensured that we had the best cycling routes through the most beautiful parks and reserves, and he changed his personal schedule in order to get us to the station in time for a very early train ride home at the end of the journey.

There is no one else that I would ever consider using for a trip in Holland or the Himalayas or wherever else he may be able to work his magic. Thank you, Bas for everything and for sharing your personal interests and favorite sites with us. We look forward to sharing a beer with you upon our return!

Everyone should take their children to this site. Emotionally powerful. Seeing the graves of 19 and 20 -year-olds who died for freedom is a reminder for everyone that nothing is truly free in life.

Dear Peter,
Thank you so much for your kind words in your review! I am delighted to hear you had a special time here in the Netherlands with Finn, and I am thankful I got to play a part in organising this for you. Your program was very unique, and it was a lot of fun for me to assist with this. Also, I truly enjoyed meeting the two of you and getting to know you. All the very best to you, and let's keep in touch! See you next time here in the lowlands!
All the best,

Our experience with KimKim—and with Lisa specifically—could not have gone better on the planning side. We worked through four versions of our itinerary until it was exactly what we were looking for. Having Lisa based in the Netherlands was a real advantage; she brought local insight and helped guide us through the process in a way that gave us confidence we’d get the experience we wanted. She never pressured us or steered us in a direction we didn’t want to go, and she was always willing to adjust things as we explored different options. She also made herself available to talk, which made the process feel easy and personal.

The final itinerary was fairly priced, and after completing the trip, we felt it was very appropriate for the quality of the experience. KimKim’s app was also a strong asset—we had all of our reservations, tickets, itinerary details, and dining recommendations in one place. When we ran into an issue with our tickets to the Keukenhof, we were able to connect with Lisa via WhatsApp and resolve it quickly without impacting our day.

While in the Netherlands, Maarten served as our guide and driver. He was approachable, knowledgeable, and clearly invested in making the experience both authentic and memorable.

Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better trip. We’ll absolutely be booking future travel with KimKim and would confidently recommend their services to others.

Hotel Review
Hotel ML
Haarlem

Our stay at Hotel ML was a highlight of the trip. The location in the heart of Haarlem is tough to beat—walkable, great atmosphere, and exactly what you’re looking for when staying in the area. The hotel strikes a nice balance between historic character and modern comfort, and the food was excellent—easily one of the better meals we had. What really sets it apart, though, is the ownership. Mark Gratama is incredibly accessible and approachable—he makes a point to connect with guests and makes you feel genuinely welcome and valued. That level of hospitality comes through in the entire experience. Would absolutely stay here again.
