    Thanks Victoria!
    We had a lovely small group tour with Victoria. It was clear that Victoria was passionate and knowledgeable about Van Gogh and that his work was very meaningful to her. We loved her explanation of the evolution of the painter's work, but also the discussion of the twists and turns of his personal life and family struggles. She was well versed in the painter's personal history and was even able to offer insight into his controversial end.

    Van Gogh museum
    I greatly enjoyed this tour. Clare was informative and brought Van Gogh’s paintings to life with the stories and the journey behind his work. I left with a greater appreciation of Van Gogh’s artistry.

    Van Gogh to Life
    Clare brought Van Gogh to life for us all. I've never done a guided museum tour before and wasn't sure what to expect or whether it was even worth it! I happy that my sister booked this tour! Clare was informative and projected emotions that truly set the tone of the paintings! Thank you Clare for a great experience!

    Van Gogh Museum Tour with Monica
    Monica’s very intriguing and passionate storytelling of Van Gogh life and works was absolutely amazing and well worth the price. You can feel how she relishes the artist’s struggles and achievements. Clearly a much better experience than taking the museum’s self guided audio tour and if you have limited time to spend in the museum, this is the way to go since it finishes in 2.5 hours as planes and you get to see the most important parts of the museum. I was really happy she had a microphone and we had headset (one ear). Our small group of 6 was perfect amount. The size kept the tour moving.

    Fantastic semiprivate tour!
    We had a fantastic tour today with Ewald. The semiprivate tour made it possible to ask many questions and have a more interactive tour. Ewald was very knowledgeable and engaging and made the experience of visiting the Van Gogh Museum truly fascinating. Most highly recommend!

    Thank you for a memorable time.
    Our tour guide was prompt and quite knowledgeable regarding the museum as well as the works of art. She skillfully guided us around the "busy" spots to get the best vantage points. She was quite knowledgeable about Van Gogh, his works, life and biography.

    Fantastic Tour of the Rijksmuseum
    Our tour of the Rijksmuseum with Clare was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, she was engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate about the art and history of the museum. She brought the masterpieces to life with fascinating stories and insights that we would have never discovered on our own. Clare had a great way of making even the most complex pieces accessible and interesting, keeping the whole group engaged throughout. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she was more than happy to answer any questions we had. If you're visiting the Rijksmuseum, I highly recommend booking a tour with Clare. She truly made our experience unforgettable!

Our Guide Anita Gosschalk Liemburg was wonderful! Anita was very informative & extremely nice. She showed us all the best of Amsterdam. Our pace was very relaxed & she took extra time to answer our questions as well as had us spend extra time in sight we were most interested. I highly recommend Anita Gosschalk Liemburg as well as this tour. Thank You for me, my wife & our friends!

We did the walking tour right when we got to Amsterdam. It was a great way to get San understanding of the city. Henk, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and focused the tour on our interests. He even sent me some information after our tour that he knew I was interested in. We loved having coffee with him at the end of tour so we could ask questions and guidance for our stay.

Over a period of about 6 hours we covered a massive amount of ground from the red light district to the museum district and everything in between.
Our guide Lawrence had a huge knowledge of the city with some added extras. Being foodies, his experience as a restaurant cook was invaluable. Visited a kitchen shop that had ever gadget imaginable, a out of the way cheese shop and even had lunch in the restaurant he worked at where the food and service was excellent.
The whole tour worked out better than expected and gave us a real in depth view of Amsterdam.
