We were so happy to see Maja again. And what a better way to finish our visit to Amsterdam and the Netherlands than to visit the Kröller Müller Museum with such a knowledgeable art historian. Maja is so good to gear her description of art to the level of our group and to walk through all of the Van Gogh paintings in a way that we could better understand his art and his tragic life. As Maja certainly understood, the tour of the sculpture garden was the highlight of one the members of our group. What a marvelous way to spend our last hours of our two-week trip walking through a very large garden viewing a variety of interesting sculptures on a beautiful spring day.
Wow, what a tour, the highlight of our visit to Amsterdam - the Keukenhof Garden at the peak of the tulip bloom. The views of the tulip fields in full bloom were marvelous. And then the garden itself was so impressive. Aletta was so knowledgeable about the history of the tulips that she could add another dimension to the beautiful sights in the garden. Our visit to nearby Leiden and the botanical garden at the university was a great way to finish a very leisurely, educational and beautiful tour.
What a pleasure to see Sabry again for the Rembrandt tour. The tour of the Rembrandt House Museum not only helped us understand Rembrandt's art but also how he lived and how he worked. Walking through the three stories of Rembrandt's house and studio really brought to life how a successful artist, until he was bankrupt, lived and worked during his time in Amsterdam's history.
