This is the third tour I have done with Anna and the day before we went around the Van Gogh Museum which was also an excellent tour. Anna showed a great deal of knowledge and insight into Van Gogh and I learned a lot. Today was a very different tour and the first time I had done a street art tour. However, it was a fantastic experience and I really liked and enjoyed the tour. Given this was very different to Van Gogh I was impressed by Anna's breath of knowledge. Anna is passionate about her tours and has an engaging style and I would certainly recommend the street art tour.
Great Streetart tour by a very knowledgeable local guide. Covered local artists as well as internationally known ones. Highly recommend.
If you like street art this is your tour! Anna did a great job despite the heat. She showed us Amsterdam off the beaten path.
Anna was great. Got in touch immediately on booking, and less pricey than other offerings on this topic. Really knows her stuff, and obviously well connected within the Street Art community. Patient and flexible, well prepared. She has lots of anecdotes and stories that show breadth and depth of expertise. Excellent.
Anna took us to the amazing arts district in Nord and showed us around the non-touristy parts of Jordaan. We really enjoyed it!
Ana took us on an unforgettable walking tour of Amsterdam's vibrant street art scene. Her knowledge of the city's hidden gems and street art history is impressive. But what really made our experience special was Ana's enthusiasm and willingness to adapt the tour to our interests. A highlight of the tour was tracking down the elusive Space Invaders - Ana's expertise and insider knowledge made all the difference!
Truly an incredible afternoon riding around on a bike! Anna delivered exactly what we asked for — unique, diverse, architectural, artistic, and expansive. We covered a lot of ground, learned a lot about Amsterdam and its architectural history, all layered with an artistic color. The sites were fabulous, Anna was INCREDIBLE. What a joy to spend the afternoon with and have really engaging conversations with. She also made sure we were safe, provided regular stops, and delivered a pace (and sightseeing schedule) that had us riding like a local in no time (not her job but a pleasant outcome — we don’t ride bikes in Amsterdam every day after all!).
