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!

Walda was an excellent guide for the Bosch exhibit. She was prompt, pleasant and knowledgeable about the subject. She gave excellent insights that were most helpful while viewing the exhibit. After touring the exhibit, we walked around the town and she pointed out where Bosch lived and other interesting facts. We give her our highest recommendation and would definitely book her again on a return to the Netherlands.

Walda was a wonderful guide. The tour she provided gave so much insight on the artist and the exhibit. I feel it made the experience a truly enriching one. 8t was also so nice to have someone familiar with the city and its history point out the placed where the artist worked and lived, as well as providing some insight on what may have inspired the artist. I highly recommend choosing Walda if you have the opportunity. She is personable and highly knowledgeable!

Walda is an amazing tour guide! I ordered a tour of the sold out Bosch exhibition for my parents who were visiting from NY. (She was able to get tickets to the climb of St. Jan's Cathedral that was sold out as well!) Her knowledge as an art historian was incredible. She added in so many personal details on Bosch's life and town that we wouldn't have gotten anywhere else, showing us where he lived and worked. She is a lovely, easy going tour guide with invaluable expertise that I would recommend to anyone!
