Rolf

Amsterdam

languages :
Allemand/German, Néerlandais/Dutch, Anglais/English

Born and raised in Amsterdam, I also lived two years in London, four years in New York City and travelled a lot in Germany. I used to be a professional backgammon and poker player before coming back to my roots and starting my own guiding company, offering tours in English, French, Italian, Spanish, German and Russian. As a professional guide and authentic Amsterdamer, I know my city perfectly and I like to show its hidden gems to visitors. Passionate about architecture and history, I love to organize personalized visits in the Rijksmuseum, bringing to life stories of the past and pointing out the secret details. During my tours, I always try to show the most of Amsterdam's rich art history, which continues to be of great importance to understand the past, and to us, an important theme to study to be inspired for the future. I have a real appetite for knowledge, a strong sense of patriotism and a warm personality to help visitors integrate Amsterdam's authentic atmosphere and culture and enjoy a memorable experience.

“The Van Gogh Museum” My friend and I engaged Rolf to take a tour of the Van Gogh Museum and were greeted by this lovely gentleman who helped us to not only "breathe in" the experience but was warm, funny and charming along the way! He taught us so much about Van Gogh and the Impressionists of which I was not aware...and I majored in Art History in college! He discussed several paintings with us and asked for and listened to our opinions, and along the way taught us so much about Amsterdam. Rolf obviously has a genuine affection for his city, and it shows. We were visiting for a week and took many tours, day trips, etc., and our time with Rolf was most definitely a standout experience and a highlight of the trip. Written before the UTF site launch
