"We had a tour (5 people) and Rolf guides of through some of the many highlights in the Rijksmuseum. We all enjoyed it a lot and Rolf Thanks Rolf !"
"My father and I did the Rembrandt & Vermeer tour. Rolf was incredible informative and knowledgable. He was able to answer all our questions and provide profound insight. Would take this tour again. Rolf was absolutely amazing. We provide the history of the paintings, people and about the times of the paintings. "
"Rolf gave my 21-year-old son Felix an unforgettable tour of the Rembrandts and Vermeers at the Rijksmuseum. Felix called me right afterwards, absolutely buzzing with excitement about the experience and Rolf’s incredible depth of knowledge. Having studied the Northern Renaissance and Dutch Golden Age in high school, Felix was thrilled to see these masterpieces in person. Apparently Rolf is not only an expert art historian, but also a genuinely kind and personable guide. The experience is something he'll never forget. Thank you so much, Rolf!"

"Jazz was very flexible in finding a time to meet us for our tour. We did a mix of walking about Den Haag along with touring the Mauritshuis. It was the perfect amount of information for our family. (Our daughters are 12 and 14.). We loved hearing some interesting facts about the paintings in the Mauritshuis. Thanks Jazz for a great tour. "
"We had the pleasure of getting to meet Jazz in the Hague and she was magical with my girls (10 and 7). The rainbow hair had them hooked at the first hello and she was so patient with my VERY talkative kids. She noted they wanted to have a long time in each gallery, and evey layed down on the floor of the Mauritshuis to look at the ceiling with them. I hope that we have made a lifelong friend from this trip! "
"Wow! He knows his art history stuff and great stories of Rembrandt’s personal life. I am a retired high school art teacher specializing in photography as an art form. I also paint watercolors. Rolf has family members who are working artists, and he has a degree in art history with advanced studies leading toward another degree. So my experience at the Rijk’s Museum began with entering one of the Rembrandt gallery rooms and being led to a small drawing or etching and hearing how and why Rembrandt made this image...what it was leading to, then examining it up close with a very nifty magnifying glass. I was led from gallery to gallery, lesson to lesson, image to image, insight to insight. The experience culminated in a cathedral-like gallery and the masterpiece,”Night Watch.” I really saw it like I had never seen it before. What fun!"
"Rolf gave us an excellent tour of the Rijksmuseum teaching us about about Rembrandt and Vermeer. We learned many new things about the history and art of the Netherlands. Many thanks for a great tour!"
"Rolf was very knowledgeable and instructional. He shared a lot of insight into the art as well as the artists and he made the museum tour especially entertaining and educational. My husband and I both highly recommend this tour with Rolf!"
"As a New Yorker, exposed to numerous museums and Art, my wife and I had a fantastic experience with Rolf. Knowledgeable and passionate. The time flew by as he explained the history of art in the museum. Highly recommended."
