Frank gave us an excellent tour, including many bits of information that an average tour might have not included. We were directed to all areas of interest , many of which we would have missed on our own. Good communication and directions also.

This tour was the highlight of our visit to Amsterdam. Anita, an art historian, expertly guided us through Rembrandt's paintings at the beautiful Rijksmusem and his home where he worked and lived. It was through her passion and lens that we learned so much about his life and work. We highly recommend this tour and Anita!
