    Walda took me on a wonderful tour of the Rembrandt Huis because I had been on a Van Gogh Museum tour already. She is a treasure trove of information, and very amiable. She took my questions seriously which made me want to know more. Then we had a boat canal to the Rijks Museum. We spent lots of time there. She gave me exactly what I set out to get. I was so pleased. -...

    Walda's tour was fabulous! We especially enjoyed the two hours we spent in the Mauritshuis museum as her presentation was excellent, she has a wealth of knowledge about a wide range of subjects, and she is extremely receptive to questions. She is easy to communicate with both on email and in person, she is responsive, and she is totally engaging!

    Hi Jane, thank you for your kind words. Such a coincidence that I saw you in the Rembrandt House in Amsterdam yesterday. Enjoy! Best, Walda

    Walda was delightfully informative. We learnt so many interesting things from our afternoon with her. She is both a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic art historian. We had a great time .
