All About Me:

Hi, I’m Anna. I’m an international tour guide with experience working in different parts of the world, and I love bringing people and cultures closer together through travel and storytelling. Originally from Russia, I’ve lived and worked in diverse environments, which has helped me develop a deep interest in intercultural communication. My academic background in cultural studies and linguistics, together with my knowledge of world history and my interest in art, allows me to see places not only as destinations, but as layers of memory, meaning, and human experience.

I’m not currently based in the Netherlands, but whenever I’m in the country I especially enjoy guiding at locations connected with Anne Frank and Jewish heritage. I’ve spent time studying Jewish history and culture, and I try to approach these themes with sensitivity, empathy, and respect. For me, guiding in such places is not only about historical facts, but also about remembrance, reflection, and the shared stories that connect people across generations.

Alongside guiding, much of my work is done remotely, where I support our team behind the scenes. I help to manage emails and calendars, assist with communication, and contribute to the smooth organisation of our projects. I value this quieter side of my work as well, because it allows me to stay connected with people and initiatives around the world, even when I’m not physically on the road.

 

You can take the following tours with me:

My favourite place in the Netherlands is Zaandam. It isn’t large or impressive, but it’s calm and welcoming, and that’s what I love about it. I’m especially drawn to Zaandam because of its connection to Peter the Great, who came here to learn shipbuilding not as a ruler, but as an ordinary learner. As I’m originally from Russia, this link feels very personal to me. I’ve always been interested in languages and history, and Zaandam reflects how cultures meet, influence one another, and leave lasting traces in simple, everyday places.

Anna

Private Riijksmuseum Tour Michael was our tour guide and he was truly exceptional. He took what would’ve been a great experience on its own to an amazing experience because of his help and commentary. He was great at pointing out details that we would’ve otherwise missed. This was our favorite part of our whole trip. Highly recommend him as your guide!

We booked a private tour with Stephan in Haarlem. I had been viewing his virtual tours for years, and it was a treat to meet him and have our own tour. We loved the pace of the tour, no rush, no crowds. We were able to walk many places in Haarlem, even had a beer in a church! I would highly recommend Stephan and his company.

Take this Rijksmuseum tour with Chris - he is the best!! This is hands down the best tour we have ever taken. Chris is a wonderful guide, his fantastic knowledge and story telling made the art of the Dutch Golden Age come alive for us. Very Highly recommended.

What a Great Tour to Look and Learn! This tour was impactful and exceptional. Out tour guide Guido - was articulate, knowledgable, and patient (this was important - because it was warm!). His ability to speak in depth about the history pre-war, and the angst and sorrow - excellent. Ending with the tour of the Anne Frank House and Annex - pulled it all together. We would highly recommend.

Hands down the best tour company we have ever worked with while traveling. They were helpful and in constant communication. We were specifically looking for tickets to the Anne Frank House and when they were sold out, we had to look for private tours. I have been to the Anne Frank House before ( house/ museum only), but this walking tour before the visit was one of the most relaxed yet informative experiences I have ever had. Chris catered the tour to our group. He was knowledgeable, patient and kind. I can’t say enough about this tour. It was well worth spending more to get the history before going to the Anne Frank House. My young adult children loved it as well! Working with the company was top notch- beyond anything we have experienced…and we have been on a ton of tours. When we return I plan to use this tour company again for other experiences.

Christian was an absolute delight as our tour guide. Super knowledgeable about Amsterdam and its history but did not turn the tour into a recitation of dates and facts. His real life experience living on the canals helped us to understand what day today life in Amsterdam looks like. Touring with Christian was like touring with a longtime friend delighted to show you his town. The kind of guy you want to have a beer with…so we did and that was great too! Highly recommend
