Fun time - The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I don't think we would have truly understood the paintings as we did with her guidance. My teenage son was engaged the whole time and asked questions. Great time

Incredible Tour - This was one of the best tours of an art museum I have ever been on. Our guide, Anna, was dynamic, engaging and quite funny. I learned so much about the culture, history and the art. This tour is highly recommended.

Thoughtful, Challenging, Exceptional. - Anna was our tour guide and she was not only knowledgeable, but she challenged all of us on the tour to think critically and realistically about the art we viewed in the context of the time it was painted or created and the actual history of the artist. She also advised us to always question the sources of the information as for many artist their history and background is spotty at best and non existent at worst. We could have easily gone on for two more hours listening and participating in the conversation with Anna.

Enjoyable and enlightening museum tour. - We had an incredible tour of the Rijksmuseum with Carola. She was an expert guide in describing the history of the museum and the various works on display. Each Master’s painting was brought to life with Carola’s vivid explanations.

Great tour in Amsterdam - We enjoyed a fun, fact-filled day with the lovely Dominique. She was prompt, patient, informative and everything you want in a tour guide. She showed us in 5 hours the highlights of both the Rijksmuseum and a small swath of historic Amsterdam. That’s is no small task as this city is filled with so much to share. She was very flexible about changing this up as needed. She is well schooled, intelligent and informed Don’t miss an opportunity to use Dominique to learn in a high energy, but fun day as much as you can about this vibrant city.
