Walda gave a tour for our group of 15 travelers. Everyone really enjoyed the guided tour. Walda was very knowledgeable and personable. We only had 90 min so we asked Walda at beginning of the tour if it was possible to shorter the tour by 30 min and she gladly met our requirement. The tour was fun: some history, some stories, some anecdotes. Perfect for us. I highly recommend it.
Our second day with Walda. Again, well-planned, well-paced. her knowledge and insight added so much to our museum tours. Highly recommended!
Walda was responsible for our tours of the Kröller-Müller Museum along with the nearby town of Nijmegen. Besides the museum, which was wonderful in itself, the standout for us was hearing in recital for our party alone, the nearly 300 year old organs (there are two of them!) at the lovely Stevenskerk in Nijmegen. Absolutely stunning! We were even able to accompany the organist up to the keyboard of the main organ after the recital to see the inner workings. Thanks to Walda for a tour we will never forget!
Walda is a very nice, friendly and fun tour guide! Our group loved the tour, definitely recommend! :)
Nijmegen is Walda's hometown. We had 8 people in our group and really felt that we knew all about the history and the important events that took place in Nijmegen when our tour was over. Walda is very personable and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her services as a local tour guide to get local insights and history.
Walda is an excellent guide! She provided me with sights of the Roman ruins in and around Nijmegen that I never would have discovered on my own. Plus, the sights she showed me at the local museum were eternally memorable. Walda has done her research and knows her material. Her knowledge of the Netherlands is second to none. The next time I visit the Netherlands, and there will be a next time, I shall be sure to make use of her services. I highly recommend that you do the same for your next visit.
