"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Anna! She was extremely knowledgeable about Van Gogh, making our visit to the museum even more special. We highly recommend Anna to anyone looking to enhance their visit to this wonderful museum."
"I had a great time touring and learning about Amsterdam’s history with Kurt. Kurt is super engaging, knowledgeable, and patient with all my questions. I just want to note that I toured solo with Kurt while my husband attended a work function. I fell very comfortable walking around with Kurt. He was fun and nice to talk with. Thanks!"

Great tour of Van Gogh Museum with Anna
"I had such an amazing and informative tour with Anna this morning. I did not know much about Van Gogh but knew that a visit to the museum with a knowledgeable guide was at the top of my list while visiting Amsterdam. Anna is extremely knowledgeable about him, his work and how his personal struggles influenced him at different stages of his short life as an artist. Without her expertise I would not have understood how he changed techniques, colors, styles or who and what he was influenced by. I’m 64 and have never enjoyed a museum more! I highly recommend seeing the Van Gogh or other museums with Anna."
"Had Marten guide me through the Van Gough Museum. I wondered have he was going to fill up two hours. It was really a great two hours. He understands the artist and was able to give me fantastic insights. We then walked Amsterdam. Likewise he knows his history and architecture! He is highly recommended. I have used Locals on probably 10 occasions. He is the best I have had. "
"Marten gave a fantastic tour of the Rijksmuseum Art with the depth and knowledge of a professor and the passion and enthusiasm of a politician. His distilled his knowledge into an inspirational and explanative tour that crossed social, political, religious and economic history that shone a light on the Dutch influence and philosophy. 10/10.... Inspire the kids!"
"Anna led us on a wonderful tour of the museum highlighting the art that was important and some that were a surprise. Her knowledge of the art history was great for us. Highly recommend her tour."
