Guided tour with Paola - I toured Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh with Paola and thoroughly enjoyed my time with her! She has such a wonderful knowledge of history and art and was a joy to be with. I had a special treat in that my small group tour turned out to be just me and I got some extra time with Paola to exchange stories of mothering toddlers. She's a gem!

Great guide, great tour - Ewald was a fantastic guide. He helped provide a lot of historical insight to the art we were seeing. My mom was also feeling sick and he was super helpful and attentive to making sure we were okay.

A great experience with Diana - Diana, our tour guide was not only friendly, but so knowledgeable about what we were seeing. The kind of knowledge that only comes from studying the subjects, and clearly she has. But she was also so good about imparting that knowledge on the group. It was a great experience.

A full day of learning about the Dutch masters - Clair was wonderful. She used a conversational style of guiding… so much better than other guides who seemed to have a rehearsed memorized script. She really are engaging and shares the human side of the master artists - their motivations, their foibles, their family life and their acceptance among their peers. It was fascinating and I learned a lot.
