Engaging and informative
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.

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.

Delightful Walking Tour of Amsterdam
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!
