We had a private guided tour conducted by Steve Attersol. This guy was great! He had extensive knowledge of the region (historically and logistically). Steve was very adaptable to our schedules and made sure that we got where we needed to go on time. He had a lot of know ledge of the paintings in the Mauritshuis. We would highly recommend this tour, and specifically this guide.

Steven is fabulous. Great addition to an Amsterdam Trip. The whole day was perfect. Delft is beautiful. The Marithuis is terrific. The Hague is something to see.

Our day long private tour with Stephen was fantastic. He engaged every member of our family throughout and tailored the trip to our interests. His descriptions of the history and technique of the paintings we viewed were detailed and we walked away with a much better appreciation for each than if we had visited the museum on our own. Highly recommend. Stephen is the best guide we have had in a very long time.

We booked this Tour for several reasons, one being the included visit to the Mauritshuis Museum to see The Girl with the Pearl Earring. Also, the pick up and drop off at our Amsterdam hotel made it so much easier. Steven was a friendly, knowledgeable Guide and easy to chat with. The walking Tour in Deflt was wonderful and though we had been before, we felt we had seen much more this time around. The visit to the Mauritshuis Museum in The Hague was a highlight, with Steven taking us from room to room in this beautiful building, talking about different pieces of art. He never rushed us and we appreciated all he showed us. Then of course, The Girl with the Pearl Earring was beautiful! After, we did a walking Tour in The Hague . We opted to have a quick bite at a local, open air stand, perfect on a sunny day. Overall, we are happy to have chosen this Tour of Delft and The Hague. Delft was lovely. The Hague Tour was also good and it also fulfilled a long time wish to visit “The Girl” and the rest of the Museum Tour added to that. It had all we wanted. Thanks to Steven and Marlou also for the prompt replies to our messages, before and after our Tour. We asked Steven for a recommendation for “ Rice Table” that night in Amsterdam…..and we did go and enjoyed a nice meal with friendly restaurant staff! Thank you Steven! Oh, wear good walking shoes!

I didn't find many tours that include viewing the Girl with Pearl earing so booked this one, and it was worthwhile. Steven, the tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly; and he took us to the places only known to locals. His talk on the history of the places, buildings artists and their works was interesting and educational.

Steve Attersol was a wonderful guide - he picked up my daughter and I at our hotel in Amsterdam, and was a wonderful host and tour guide. We went to Delft and then to The Hague; he was so knowledgeable about the relevant history and art history, and had a really easygoing and personable manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for any depth of information and insight into local attractions - we had a great experience and would absolutely seek out his guidance again.

I could not be more happy about how the tour went yesterday! Our tour guide, Steven picked us up from our hotel and was so knowledgeable and passionate about what he told us about. Delft was quaint and beautiful and I will definitely be back to visit there more in the future. We had coffee and the best apple pie in Delft. Afterwards, he drove us to The Hague. The museum was filled with so many Amazing pieces of art including The Girl with a Pearl Earring. I will never forget seeing her. We walked around The Hague. Our guide was a wealth of knowledge and answered all of our questions. After the day tour he dropped us back off at our hotel! You will not be disappointed in this tour! I would give him 10 stars!!!
