Walda was an expert guide for our family of 5, ages 60-87 yrs old. A customized tour through the Netherlands, Koln, Germany and Belgium for 7 days was seamless! The purpose of the trip was to visit my Dad's cousin's gravesite in Maastricht, Netherlands who died in WWII. Walda arranged for us to meet the family that cares for the gravesite. What a thrill and a very emotional time. She arranged wheelchairs for my Dad with all of the cobblestones, and arranged canal tours for other ways to tour.

Our family has spent 2 days with Walda, and she is 5 star plus!!!! We have had amazing time on our custom day tour to Belgium as well as Amsterdam. We did everything we wanted to do and had so many laughs, it was like vacationing with a friend! We all hated to see it come to an end!!! Having traveled with many private guilds, Walda is by far one of the best. We can't wait to come back again!! The Howard Family

Our drive from Amsterdam was filled with interesting conversation about the Dutch countryside and history. Our arrival in Ghent, Belgium, was a bit like traveling back in time. The medieval city center, which we saw both walking and from the canal boat, was picturesque, and viewing the Ghent Altarpiece at St. Bavo's was a highlight. Bruges was a continuation of our back-in-time experience. We were so glad Walda was able to guide us in these lovely, romantic Belgian cities. And there was chocolate!

I gladly give Walda a 5 for each tour. She is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable in European art history and a very pleasant person to spend time with. My girlfriend and I enjoyed her company and the knowledge she shared with us regarding Bosch, Bruegel, and many other great painters. I strongly recommend her for anyone who has an interest in these artists. Thank you Walda!
