Free Tours Groningen is an initiative of Erik, Joris, Mika, Mark, Roy and Thijs.
Hi! I’m Erik (30) and I have been living in the province of Groningen my whole life. I grew up in a small village north, and since my student years, I am living in the city of Groningen where I now work as a PhD candidate. As a social geographer, I love to tell you about the unique location, history, and local stories of the city. You can also always come to me with questions about where to eat, grab a drink, and where to find the best bars! I hope to see you around soon so that I can share my passion for Groningen with you!
Hi, my name is Mark, I am 45 years old and was born and raised in this beautiful city. I work as a technical designer at an architectural firm in Groningen. I would love to show you this vibrant city; the history, student life, and the people. Come along and discover Groningen with me!
My name is Thijs (37) and I have lived in Groningen since I was a student. I have travelled around the world a lot during and after my studies. With my girlfriend Aletta I’ve made a long, beautiful world trip for almost two years. After we came back we decided to start a travel company: “The Great Unknown“. Led by the idea that you don’t always have to travel far to discover beautiful new things, we came up with the idea to add these Free Tours to our travel company.
