Monique - Amsterdam Experiences Private Tour Guide

All About Me:

Monique grew up close to Amsterdam and remembers her first visit still vividly. As a six year old she completely fell in love with the little houses and above all the great vibe. After 19 years of living in the city she has now declared herself a true Amsterdammer.

As a former journalist, Monique has a really broad interest and that’s also what you’ll find in her tours. She’s full of stories, fun facts and can walk through the city (almost) blindfolded.

 

You can take the following tours with me:

Anne Frank & Jewish History

Amsterdam City Highlights – walking

Guide for the Day

The Ultimate Amsterdam in a Day Tour

Rijksmuseum Tour

Van Gogh Museum Tour

Super Nice Guide, Monique Our group of 4 took this tour and we were very impressed with the knowledge and enthusiasm of our tour guide, Monique. Even though it was rainy and cold and we could not get to the Royal Palace and that area (because the Royal Family was there along with dignitaries from India) we saw the all of the other things on the tour. And the apple pie and coffee hit the spot! Highly recommend Monique and this tour!

Top Notch Tours and Tour Guides My family (me, my husband, and our teenage daughter) did a private Gourmet Foodie Walk with Stephan and a private Jewish History Tour + Anne Frank with Monique, and both were amazing. We specifically wanted a private Foodie tour because we are fickle eaters, and Stephan was spot on with his selections for us. The food (herring, cheese, apple pie, stroopwaffle, and gin) and spending time with Stephan, sharing his knowledge of Amsterdam with us along the way, were delightful. We also valued our time with Monique, who carefully and thoughtfully described what the Jewish people went through in Amsterdam during WWII. She brought us to monuments and places that we would probably not have discovered on our own. We hugged her goodbye at the end of our tour. I would highly recommend Amsterdam Experiences - Stephan (the owner) is the type of person who will make things work out for you.
