Anita is amazing.
Our guide Anita was the best!! I was lucky to have been in a small group of 2 and Anita tailored the tour based on our individual interest. She asked us questions in turn as well for an inspiring and engaging convo.

Tijs is the best!
Huge thank you to Tijs, who really made the art and Dutch history come to life on our tour! He was engaging, articulate, and knew exactly how to point out the “jokes” in each of the amazing paintings we looked at. I learned so much and would love to take a tour with Babylon and Tijs again!
