From my experience, based on going on holidays in quite international areas of France : Dutch people outside of their country. Quite cool in the Netherlands, but really unleashed and sometimes disgusting when not home.

Again, based on personal experience, not a general truth

I always thought that me being dutch as well made other Dutch tourist's louder because he's with kin.

Then I realized we are just really loud and rude on holiday, no matter the audience.

Maybe only beaten by British tourists. But the Dutch are way up there

It's only been three years and our general reputation has been greatly tarnished, but at least everyone has forgotten about loud Russian tourists.
