Highlight of our stay in Amsterdam

5.00This was one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. After a bit of confusion for the starting point, we were happy to find Manouk still waiting for us. She was the most delightful & knowledgeable guide & exceptionally well-prepared with pictures of all the art. This connected us to the artist & place along with info & interesting anecdotes. She also took an interest in us & there were pleasant exchanges about personal experiences & travel. We felt like we were hanging out with an old/new friend!! I told her that I was hearing impaired & she paid careful attention to speak clearly & directly towards me. I understood everything & this made my experience even better. At the end, she shared recommendations for lunch, canal cruise & the best apple tart. All in all one of the best tours we’ve ever experienced. Highly recommend

The tour takes you to the unique spots that inspired their masterpieces. We visited the Rijksmuseum after and had so much more in depth knowledge while looking at the paintings. This tour is absolutely recommended for anyone looking to dive into Dutch art and history!
