    Walda was absolutely exceptional. We hired her for a private dinner talk, a group presentation on Rembrandt, and a walking city tour, and she exceeded every expectation!!!! Her depth of knowledge as an art historian was remarkable, and she brought every experience to life in such an engaging and thoughtful way. Beyond her expertise, Walda was incredibly easy to work...

    Thanks Erin, you are so kind! Everything I needed for delivering a perfect experience was provided by you without hesitance, even a hotel stay with your group after dinner! You are a remarkable tourguide, everybody in your group obviously adored you. Love working for you again. Big hug, Walda

    We took the half day tour with Walda and loved it. She is a font of art history knowledge and navigated us through both museums. The day was capped off with a private canal tour and she explained the city and its history. I highly recommend Wanda.
