"Met Marten at appointed spot but was confusing if that was it. Use address on the app "meet point".
Our history walk and talk was great, we gained some new insights from Marten and he answered all our questions 😀
The memorials were sobering. Red light district was interesting and coffe shops were enlightening lol. We enjoyed our time together. "
"Rolf was one of the best tour guides we have ever encountered. We have visited many art museums and his knowledge and communication ability made this tour worth way more than the out of pocket cost. He is engaging, personable, and a great storyteller. We learned much and had a lot of fun too! Highly recommended!"
"Our group of six enjoyed a wonderful tour of the Rijksmuseum with Anna. Instructions for meeting were clear and helpful. She explained the details of the artwork which was very illuminating; we could not have enjoyed the museum as much without her guidance. Anna is very personable and knowledgable. Highly recommended! "
"Sebastian is such an amazing guide! He introduced us to so many different foods from all different cultures of the people living in Amsterdam. We tried some delicious foods that we would have never eaten on our own. Sebastian did an excellent job with tying in our tastings with the history of the cultures that created each dish. We left our tour with our stomachs full, our minds broadened, and our hearts happy. "
"Marten provided a two hour tour of the VanGogh museum, and I'm so happy we decided to have Marten as our guide. He was so friendly & he really educated us about the back story of Vincent VanGogh that we would have never learned with an audio guide. "
"We, that is my 19 & 16 year and myself, spent a morning with Rolf at the Rijksmuseum on a private tour. He curated a tour specific to our interests which ensured our time was used wisely. He was very impressive whisking us through crowds and corridors to give us space and time to observe fully and appreciate the artwork. Rolf is very personable and the time flew past. Thank you Rolf!!!"
"Marten is an excellent art guide. He is knowledgeable, witty and has a great story line. He also tailors it to you personally. Hire this man and greatly enhance your Rijksmuseum experience! "
"Marten customized a tour for us - he met us at the Anne Frank house and walked us to the Riks museum, giving us a sense of Amsterdam history and culture. Then he guided us through the Riks so we saw some of the most important pieces. It’s such a huge museum that we would have just wandered around aimlessly! We also included a coffee and apple pie stop in our time together - it was great day. Don’t hesitate to book Marten when you are in Amsterdam. "
