touring the Netherlands with deaf folks

I have a deaf step-grandson who’s lineage is in the Netherlands. He would love to go to the Netherlands.

Does anyone know of a travel agency that caters to the deaf?

why not contact the Netherlands and/or Amsterdam tourist board and ask them?

They may have specialised guides who cater to the deaf, or know of someone who does.

Does he use signing? If so you would need to find someone who knows ASL, assuming you are American, as well as speaking Dutch. That could be tricky.
Would his parents or a sibling be able to travel with him? If so then there would be little need of an organised tour.
Presumably he would want to visit the place his ancestors are from, which might not be possible on a tour.

You could contact the Dutch tourist board for help and advice.

I just did a quick search and there are a few sites offering trips for deaf people.
I didn't look at any of them, but it is perhaps worth doing a search yourself.

Thank you all. He is over 30. No one is able to go with him.

I’ll give him the advice here.

Thanks again.
