Nice Tour - Anna was an excellent guide from the beginning. She smiled brightly as we met and started telling us interesting historical facts about Amsterdam. The kind of information you wouldn't get without such an experienced guide. In the end, she helped me book a beautiful boat tour. I can't thank her enough.

Amazing Anna and Amsterdam! - Anna was amazing. Her knowledge and insight made the Amsterday tour so fascinating, informative and fun. She talks to you about Amsterdam's history, people and architecture.. not to mention the egneering. It was wonderful and I would thoroughly recommend. Next time I am back I will do her private art walking tour.

Terrific! Highly recommend - I did two tours with Anna -- a city walking tour and a tour of the Rijksmuseum. I highly recommend doing both because the context and learnings from from one adds depth and connection to the other. She is really knowledgeable and fun. She brings the city, history, and art to life through all the details that she weaves together. I felt like I really got a comprehensive appreciation for the Dutch culture, history, and the global events and influence that stemmed from Amsterdam. I really got a sense of why this beautiful city looks and feels the way it does. Thank you Anna!

Get to know Rembrandt inside and outside the Rjiksmuseum - We originally took a walking tour of Rembrandt’s homes and historically significant locations in Amsterdam. Anna lead us through the city explaining Rembrandt’s life and artistic development along with related historical events and influences. Whenever we had a question she always had detailed answers and was cognizant of our interests and desires through our time together. Because we enjoyed her scope of knowledge and pleasing demeanor we booked a follow up tour of the Rijksmuseum and focused on Rembrandt and included other Dutch masters. We are very glad we spent our limited time with Anna.
