Ask for Cecilia M

Cecilia M, was an enthusiastic guide with a depth of knowledge about the Golden Age of the Netherlands. We enjoyed her so much.

Excellent and knowledgeable guide.

We had an excellent tour. Jacopo was so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the artists and their history. We learnt so much more than if we had visited the museum on our own. He cleverly navigated various school groups and we saw everything we set out to see- and more. Many many thanks!

Babylon Tours is the only way to see Amsterdam

We were in Paris in September was discovered Babylon tours there and the tours were fantastic. So when we elected to visit Amsterdam a year later, Babylon was the first place we turned and, once again, we were not disappointed despite our high expectations. Our guide was friendly, knowledgable, helpful and professional. She not only clearly knows Amsterdam and art, but also knows what people enjoy viewing, how to present the works in a way that interesting and how to tell a story that ties the entire tour together. Clearly Babylon knows how to find, train, and keep terrific guides, no matter the city. Definitely would recommend this tour and Babylon in general...regardless of what city you're visiting!!
