Hi, I'm Jolijn — and honestly, being a guide never really felt like a job to me. It started with a simple love: the kind of curiosity that makes you stop in front of a painting and wonder about the person who made it, or pause on a canal bridge just to take it all in. What I love most isn't the monuments or the museums themselves — it's the moment when a traveller sees something for the first time and their eyes light up. That exchange, that new connection between a person and a place (and between two people who just met!) — that's what gets me out of bed in the morning. I grew up with a deep passion for art history and the stories behind the things we see every day. Amsterdam is full of them — hidden in its canal houses, its courtyards, its Golden Age masterpieces. I love making those stories feel alive and personal, not like a textbook. But here's the thing: a great day out isn't about rushing from highlight to highlight. It's about finding your pace, following your curiosity, and maybe ending up somewhere neither of us expected. I'm relaxed, flexible, and genuinely enjoy the conversation along the way — whether you want to go deep into Rembrandt's technique or just want to know where the locals actually eat lunch. Think of it less as a guided tour, and more as a day out in Amsterdam with a friend who happens to know a lot about the city — and can't wait to introduce it to you. *Official Art Valuer. *Officially registered with Chamber of Commerce Tourism . *Amsterdam permit tours in Centre and red light district *license guest guide rijksmuseum *Professional Dutch Driving Licence *Friend member Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum

We used Jolijn on three tours, Riks Museum, Introduction to Amsterdam, and Kroller-Muller (not to be missed!). She was fantastic. Very flexible. Excellent knowledge of the country and of art. Great perspective on the sites we saw, and also on life in the Netherlands and its history and people. Highly recommend Jolijn
A friend referred me to this Tour with Jolijn. We learned so much about the Netherlands, Amsterdam, the culture and the art. It really was eye opening to see the works of art with a guide. I highly recommend this experience.
I had the honor of Jolijn company with my husband and friends a few years back and we all thoroughly enjoyed her then. This time I came back to Amererstadam again with other friends and again Jolijn surprised me with wonderful stories and shared her outstanding knowledge of the arts! We visited the Rijksmuseum museum and heard and saw Rembrandt & Vermeer with her wonderful explanations and care in sharing the secrets of the painter. We all HIGHLY recommend Jolijn.
We spent a wonderful day with Joliyn at the unique setting of The Kröller-Müller Museum and Sculpture Garden in the Hoge Veluwe National Park. She picked up our party of four at our Amsterdam hotel and drove us for the hour long drive to the Museum. Joliyn has a wealth of knowledge on the art and was excellent at tailoring her comments to our group. On the rides to and from the Museum she offered many interesting insightss on the history and culture of The Netherlands. We highly recommend Joliyn!
Wonderful tour guide with thorough knowledge of Rembrandt, Van Gogh and the periods in which they painted. Jolijn was our guide on 2 successive days and both tours were thoroughly enjoyable! We recommend her highly!
Jolijn was a great tour guide who appreciates dutch art and knows Amsterdam very well. I really enjoyed hearing her insights in some of the current younger dutch artists, whose works I had never before seen before. As a dutch "expat" I hope to come back for more museum tours with Jolijn in years to come.
