Can’t Miss Experience! - We toured with Anita and it was an unforgettable experience! It was truly a no-line entry and accessible for our double stroller. Anita ensured our teen daughter was set up with the scavenger hunt which made her enjoy the experience immensely! Anita was knowledgeable and ready to answer any question we asked! If you’re going to tour the Van Gogh Museum, THIS is the way to do it!

Enriching - Anna & the tours of both museums are the highlight of my visit to Amsterdam. Seeing the famous paintings in person was amazing, and Anna sharing stories, providing insights, and answering all my questions made this extra enriching. This day is top on my list of memorable experiences. Thank you!
