Every great journey begins with a single road. And for Xalam Tours, that road started decades ago with one man and one car.
Naufal, born in Indonesia, arrived in the Netherlands in the 90s with a simple dream: to build a better life through hard work and dedication. What began as a job behind the wheel soon became something much greater. As a taxi driver, Naufal discovered more than just the streets of Amsterdam. He discovered people, their stories, and the joy of helping travelers feel at home wherever they went.
His natural warmth and professionalism soon earned him loyal clients and a reputation for reliability. Before long, he founded his own taxi company, employing a team of drivers who shared his values of service, respect, and personal connection. But as the taxi industry evolved, so did Naufal’s path.
Some of his clients began asking for something different. Not just transportation, but private journeys across borders, personalized experiences that revealed Europe’s beauty in a deeper way. What started as a few special requests soon became a calling. From the countryside of France to the canals of Venice, from mountains in Swiss to the rich art culture of Spain, Naufal found himself guiding guests through unforgettable adventures across the continent.
After more than a decade of experience as a private chauffeur and tour operator, Xalam Tours was born, built on Naufal’s belief that true luxury lies in personal connection, local knowledge, and authentic experiences.
Today, Xalam Tours offers bespoke private tours throughout the Netherlands and across Europe, designed for travelers who want more than just sightseeing. Every journey is a collaboration: our guests bring their dreams, and we bring the expertise to turn them into reality.
Because for us, travel isn’t just about where you go but it’s about the story you bring home.
