Exceptional Tour with Anna – A Deep Dive into Amsterdam’s History and Art - Anna was an outstanding guide — knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating stories. The walking tour gave us a rich understanding of Amsterdam’s architecture and history, complete with a delightful chocolate treat. In the afternoon, we booked the Rijksmuseum with Anna and toured the museum, where she brought Rembrandt’s Night Watch, Vermeer’s masterpieces, and dramatic sea battles with the British vividly to life. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper connection with the city!

Great Introduction To The City - Anna was amazing, so knowledgeable and informative. Her tour was the first thing we did when we landed in Amsterdam and it really helped us get a handle on the city and its history. Even jet lagged we were completely engaged. And she gave us some great recs for our trip that we followed up on. Aside from all that, she’s just a genuinely lovely person to learn from.

Great walk in Amsterdam with Anna! - We had a wonderful time walking the streets of Amsterdam with Anna! She was prompt in meeting us at our hotel in the city center. What a wealth of knowledge about her city and the history that led to the current environment. We listened and asked lots of questions which she handled all with good humor. She is a serious student of history, art and architecture but makes all that knowledge easy to understand and relate to. Nice sense of humor as well. We highly recommend Anna and hope she is available for you when you get to Amsterdam.
