Great Tour/Fantastic Guide
Claire was a fantastic guide. Her knowledge of the Dutch’s trusts was impeccable and we sincerely appreciated her commentary and the education she gave us. I would wholly recommend her as a tour guide. She is also a wonderful person!
Great tour!
Cecilia was a fantastic guide! We started at the Rijksmuseum, where she explained not just the paintings and their history, but also the museum’s architecture and gardens. Having studied art history, she’s incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Dutch art, culture and history. I’ve always considered myself someone who doesn’t particularly enjoy history, but Cecilia reminded me how much a great guide can change that! Her storytelling made me want to spend hours exploring every painting and its story. After the museum, we wandered through the city centre, learning about the historic towers, trade square, stock exchange, largest flea market, old and new churches, and the Netherlands’ fascinating religious history. Cecilia was warm, welcoming, flexible and an absolute delight to spend the day with. Her enthusiasm and knowledge made the entire experience immersive and memorable. I left with a much deeper appreciation for Amsterdam’s history and culture. Highly recommend!
