Anna N was exceptional with stories and scandals which both added knowledge and awe to my tour! I did both Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh museum on the same day with a short lunch break in-between. Anna N was equally passionate at both museums.

A very full tour at both museums, with time for lunch in between. Cecile was an excellent guide who knows what she is talking about and is very personable. Two satisfied customers.

This was an excellent "best of" tour of the two most popular art museums in Amsterdam. Anna was our guide and was extremely interesting, knowledgable, and had great background info on artists and the art work we viewed. I learned things I'd never heard about what specific items meant if included in a painting of that period. Her background stories were fascinating as well as informative.

Anna was a great guide! She had great stories and was very knowledgeable. She gave times for breaks if we wanted. She had earpieces so there was problem hearing her.
