Tom Litjens has been a Euro Bike & Walking Tours guide since 1990. His calm, friendly and attentive demeanor has earned him high praise from all who travel with him. Joining EB&WT as a professional photographer, Tom soon got hooked on the tours and became a guide. Tom speaks fluent English, German, Dutch, French and Spanish and is the company's leading bicycle mechanic.

"In case no one from our group has sent the word, we had a fantastic bike trip in Tuscany last month. It was perfect in every way. Our guide Tom was wonderfully nice and tireless in doing his best to help us. We will be bragging about what a great job your company did to all we know, and hope we'll get to do another trip with you in the near future." Thanks again, Scott & Beth Snedden
