Great City Tour - We had a great tour with Anna. She was easy to communicate with before our tour and gave us an easy meeting point. She listened to our specific interests and gave us a couple options of what to see. She was very informative and kept us interested throughout the tour. We learned so much and really think we got a good feel for the history and current culture of the city. We would highly recommend Anna for any tour.

Exceptional Tour with Anna – A Deep Dive into Amsterdam’s History and Art - Anna was an outstanding guide — knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating stories. The walking tour gave us a rich understanding of Amsterdam’s architecture and history, complete with a delightful chocolate treat. In the afternoon, we booked the Rijksmuseum with Anna and toured the museum, where she brought Rembrandt’s Night Watch, Vermeer’s masterpieces, and dramatic sea battles with the British vividly to life. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper connection with the city!

Great Introduction To The City - Anna was amazing, so knowledgeable and informative. Her tour was the first thing we did when we landed in Amsterdam and it really helped us get a handle on the city and its history. Even jet lagged we were completely engaged. And she gave us some great recs for our trip that we followed up on. Aside from all that, she’s just a genuinely lovely person to learn from.
