The Art of Curated Discovery in the Dutch Heartland
I’m Portuguese, married to a Dutch partner, and we’re raising our two Dutch children here. Over the years, I’ve fallen deeply in love with the Netherlands—not just the famous sights, but the quiet villages, misty mornings on the water, and small, everyday moments you only notice when you slow down.
Elo Tours grew from my wish to share this side of the country with others. I create relaxed, private electric car tours where we can talk, laugh, and discover together—so you leave feeling like you’ve visited a friend, not just a destination.
“Ana is such a good guide and what an experience! I only had a morning to spend outside Amsterdam but I really wanted to see a bit more beyond the city, so this 4-hour trip was just perfect.
Great experience with Ana. Such a warm speaker and so in love with Marken and Volendam. Great views while we drove from Amsterdam to Marken and then to Volendam.”

“Wonderful experience in Amsterdam with Ana. The tour was also in Portuguese. She is curious, fun, clear with her information, and punctual at the beginning and end of the tour. She showed deep knowledge of all the sights we visited. Super well‑recommended guide.”

“Our first time in the Netherlands and we could not have asked for a better guide. Ana is friendly and considerate, and my family loved spending a few hours with her. The tour was well planned, safe, and excellent value for money. Ana feels like a true local and shared the hidden gems of this amazing region. Do not miss it!”
