Heerlijke dame Viviane met superveel kennis, warme diepe stem, rustig verteltempo, geduldig en aardig. Wij waren fan. We zijn op fijne plekjes gekomen waar we anders geen aandacht aan besteden en gewoon voorbij wandelen. Ook fijne kunstenaars/ ontwerpers gesproken.

Zeer enthousiaste gids die goed wist waarover ze sprak. Interessante combinatie van geschiedenis en het aanschouwen van de ambacht / kunst van het maken. Professionele uitleg. Zeer leuke uitstap!
