What makes Sarah’s Tours different?
Sarah’s Tours is all about personal experiences. Instead of simply following a standard route, our private tours are shaped around your interests, pace and travel style. Whether you want to see famous highlights, dive deeper into history or discover places you would otherwise miss, we help create a tour that feels right for you.
Can a tour be tailored to my interests?
Yes. Personalisation is at the heart of what we do. Tell us what interests you, what you would love to experience and how you like to travel. We can then help shape the tour around your preferences.
Where does Sarah’s Tours offer private tours?
Our tours take you across the Netherlands and Belgium. You can explore Amsterdam as well as cities, countryside, cultural highlights and lesser-known destinations further afield. Our current tour offering already includes destinations throughout the Netherlands as well as tours to Ghent and Bruges in Belgium.
Do I have to choose one of the tours on the website?
Not necessarily. Our existing tours are a great starting point, but if you have something different in mind, get in touch and tell us about your plans. We can discuss what you would like to see and help create an experience around your trip.
How do I book a private tour?
Start by browsing our tours and choosing an experience that appeals to you. Send us your details through the website and we’ll get back to you with a tailored quote. If you are not sure which tour suits you, you can simply contact us first and we’ll help you explore the possibilities.
I’m not sure what I want to see yet. Can you help?
Absolutely. You do not need to have your entire itinerary figured out before contacting us. Share your travel dates, interests and any ideas you already have, and we can help you decide what would make your time in the Netherlands or Belgium most memorable.
How long does a private tour take?
That depends on the experience you choose. Our tours range from shorter half-day experiences to tours lasting four to six hours and full-day trips. You can find the duration on the individual tour page.
Do you offer family-friendly tours?
Yes, family-friendly experiences are part of our tour offering. When contacting us, let us know who you are travelling with so we can help you find an experience that works well for your group.
What is the best time of year to visit the Netherlands?
There is something to experience throughout the year. Spring is especially popular for tulip season, while the warmer months are ideal for spending more time outdoors. Autumn brings a different atmosphere and winter offers a quieter side of cities such as Amsterdam. The best time to visit ultimately depends on what you would like to see and experience.
When is the best time to see the Dutch tulip fields?
Tulip season usually takes place from late March into May, with the exact timing depending on the weather. It is one of the most colourful times to explore the Dutch countryside. Sarah’s Tours also offers private experiences focused on the tulip fields and Keukenhof.
Do I need to book tickets for museums such as the Van Gogh Museum in advance?
For popular museums and attractions, booking ahead is generally recommended because tickets can sell out. If there is a particular museum or attraction you would like to include in your trip, mention it when contacting us so it can be taken into account while planning your experience.
