Nice to meet you, my name is Petra
My name is Petra Dielman, and I own a tour company based in Arnhem called ArnhemLife (4,9/5 star rating on Google with 140+ reviews). I’m passionate about creating memorable experiences for travelers and providing excellent service. While Arnhem is a wonderful city, it’s relatively small, so I’m excited to extend my services to the Amsterdam area, offering custom-tailored itineraries.
Crafting itineraries is something I genuinely enjoy—whether for my own travels or for friends and family. I love exploring online to uncover hidden historical gems, unique sights, or that one exceptional restaurant.
With my in-depth knowledge of Amsterdam, I’m ready to create a customized city plan that perfectly suits your visit.
