"Our family had a great time with Rolf at the Rijksmuseum. He tailored the tour to our interests. We were there Easter Week, so it was very crowded, but he helpfully steered us to the important works and was generous with his time and knowledge. Highly recommend."
"We had a fantastic food tour in Amsterdam with Elise! She was incredibly responsive and flexible, especially as we had a few last-minute flight changes. Elise’s knowledge of the neighborhood was impressive, and she introduced us to some amazing local cuisine while giving us a great insight into Dutch culture. Everything felt authentic and thoughtfully curated. I’d absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a delicious and engaging way to experience the city!"

Christa was wonderful
"My mom and I had a fun experience with Christa and we were so grateful she was willing to do an unconventional tour in the evening. She’s full of knowledge about history of the city and things to see/do. It was great to do this tour the first night we got in so we could add to our itinerary. Highly recommend. "

Deep appreciation Total Enjoyment
"Totally worth every penny. To go on a tour with Anna’s experience, intimate knowledge of the pieces we went over was priceless! She gently guided our group of ten along the busy pieces, shared great information and in depth background of the pieces and the life of the artists and ways to appreciate the art work for someone that has no art background. Total joy and highly recommended."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Amsterdam with Annet. She took us to some more out-of-the-way places, as we requested. She is very knowledgeable about the city and it's history. Being a professional photographer, she pointed out unique photo ops along the way
She is very friendly and easy to converse with.
Highly recommend!"
"Rolf is AWESOME!!! He was passionate, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and so wonderfully welcoming! We toured as a family with him, with our 18 & 17 year old sons....Rolf really kept them engaged, interested, took their questions seriously. What I truly appreciated, and I know made such an impact on my boys, is Rolf related the world of Van Gogh and art to my kids everyday interests. My one son is a big football player and Rolf kept showing how this related to that... helping guide and think through what these artists must have been going through.....much like X in football.
My boys are still talking about it and seemed to really really have so much more knowledge and appreciation for Van Gogh then ever before. Thank you Rolf for such a great experience and giving so much of yourself to the arts and history!"
"My wife and I had limited time in Amsterdam, as we were only staying 1 day and flying out the next afternoon.
Not really knowing what to do or see, we booked this tour. Olga did an amazing job walking us around the main areas and then off the beaten paths where there is a more local vibe. She showed us several preferred location where you will get local prices and food / drinks - to include a bar, a bakery, and a cheese / bread shop. You also get away from the tourist areas which is what we prefer to do.
It was a wonderful time and we highly recommend this for anyone staying in Amsterdam - if you have a longer stay, do this tour early on and you can ensure you get them most out of your trip.
Thanks again!"

""Our two-hour tour of the Van Gogh Museum with Marten was exceptional. His deep knowledge of Van Gogh's life and art history, combined with his engaging communication style, transformed our visit. We gained invaluable insights that we simply wouldn't have discovered on our own. Marten's passion truly brought Van Gogh's story to life." - Thank you Marten"
