"Had a fabulous morning with Jazz who provided lots of insights and local knowledge together with historical context for our walking tour of The Hague. A great way to get to know a city on a first visit! Highly recommend Jazz if you visit The Hague! "
"Anastasia's knowledge and personality made this the best tour in Rotterdam. She was fantastic. We learned so much as first time visitors to Rotterdam and we got to see and taste things around our tour. As a Travel Agency owner I would recommend her to all my clients, she is that good."

Invaluable Introduction to Den Haag
"Our time with Jazz was a joyful and enriching experience! She was incredibly easy to converse with and customized her tour to accommodate our interests and incorporate places that would be integral in helping us become residents of The Hague come August. She was kindly attuned to the needs of our 8-year old daughter (who was still adjusting to the +9 hour time change) and her fun-loving humor shone. In our three hours together we learned an incredible amount about local history and culture as well as being able to better navigate the city zones. Between tasting exotic flavors of Gouda, climbing the exhibition tower, basking in the sun by the prison for a gruesome story, ogling pretty rocks, sampling local sweets, and impromptu watercolor painting, it was hard to choose a favorite activity, but we ended the tour at a gorgeous restaurant that made our daughter's jaw drop with the tropical interior decor, bird art, and color-changing tea! Jazz is a talented ambassador and the version of the city she shared with us will have us looking through amythest-colored glasses as we walk the streets. "

Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Rotterdam spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Rotterdam.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Rotterdam, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Rotterdam awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.

She's all that jazz!
"Our time with Jazz was extremely helpful for getting acquainted with the Hague. She is fun, hip, and very knowledgeable. She kept our two boys, ages 15 and 18, really engaged and interested as well. She also had great recommendations for restaurants and things to do for the rest of our stay. We are so grateful that we were able to meet up with her for this tour! "

Learning while having a good time!
"Anastasia is very friendly and very knowledgeable. She provided a tour well tailored to our wishes. Anastasia knows the architecture and art scene of Rotterdam very well. And although as Belgians we already know quite a bit about Dutch food culture, we have still learned a lot."

Great overview of the Hague
"Jazz was a great tour guide! She was accommodating, asking us right at the beginning what kind of tour we’d most be interested in, sharing fun tidbits about art, about history, and about the Dutch people. She also gave tips about the best places to eat and shop, really useful info for someone who’s planning on studying in The Hague for a few months! "
"We had the pleasure of getting to meet Jazz in the Hague and she was magical with my girls (10 and 7). The rainbow hair had them hooked at the first hello and she was so patient with my VERY talkative kids. She noted they wanted to have a long time in each gallery, and evey layed down on the floor of the Mauritshuis to look at the ceiling with them. I hope that we have made a lifelong friend from this trip! "
"The 3 hr outdoor tour with Anastasia is a fantastic way to see the great city of Rotterdam in a day! Anastasia was very flexible, super friendly and was able to engage with both adults and kids in our group. She has a wealth of knowledge about Rotterdam’s art, history and architecture and showed us many well and lesser known parts of the core city. Highly recommend! "
