My name is Gijs. Born and raised in Katwijk aan Zee, I have been the proud owner of a beautiful 1976 Volkswagen bus for nearly twenty years.

After traveling extensively throughout Europe—mainly on surf trips—I renovated the bus in 2018 and started a wedding car rental business called trouwautoaanzee.nl. While chauffeuring bridal parties around this beautiful area, I was inspired to show people from all over the world how stunning this part of the Netherlands is. In 2022, I launched a sightseeing tour called Tulip Safari, which takes place among the flower and tulip fields near Keukenhof.

Because this region has so much more to offer than just tulips, I decided to create the Typical Dutch Tour.
