5.00I didn't find many tours that include viewing the Girl with Pearl earing so booked this one, and it was worthwhile. Steven, the tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly; and he took us to the places only known to locals. His talk on the history of the places, buildings artists and their works was interesting and educational.

5.00Steve Attersol was a wonderful guide - he picked up my daughter and I at our hotel in Amsterdam, and was a wonderful host and tour guide. We went to Delft and then to The Hague; he was so knowledgeable about the relevant history and art history, and had a really easygoing and personable manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for any depth of information and insight into local attractions - we had a great experience and would absolutely seek out his guidance again.
Don’t miss this day!

5.00I could not be more happy about how the tour went yesterday! Our tour guide, Steven picked us up from our hotel and was so knowledgeable and passionate about what he told us about. Delft was quaint and beautiful and I will definitely be back to visit there more in the future. We had coffee and the best apple pie in Delft. Afterwards, he drove us to The Hague. The museum was filled with so many Amazing pieces of art including The Girl with a Pearl Earring. I will never forget seeing her. We walked around The Hague. Our guide was a wealth of knowledge and answered all of our questions. After the day tour he dropped us back off at our hotel! You will not be disappointed in this tour! I would give him 10 stars!!!

5.00Steve is a master tour guide. He took the time to learn about our interest in order to maximize our Vermeer experience. After leading us through the City of Delft, pointing out many sites in detailed fashion we headed to The Hague. Upon arrival we went to a quality food stand where we learned to eat herring in the true Dutch fashion, swallowing it in one bite. As we were Touring the City Steve pointed out a government minister passing us in the street. Shortly after he noticed some military police ahead in the street. Based on his instincts we joined a small crowd of Dutch citizens as King William Alexander emerged from the palace and waved to us as he entered his motorcade, not more than 100 yards from us. Steve then took us on an in depth tour of the Mauritshuis. He took great care to point out many details of the various masterpieces. The tour culminated with Vermeer’s masterpiece, Girl with the Pearl Earring. We got to spend some time within a few feet of this classic painting. A great experience with a master tour guide. We highly recommend this tour, if you’re lucky you may catch a glimpse of the King!!
Steve was amazing!
