We spent a remarkable day with Sabry in Amsterdam. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of art history, as well as of the relevant broader historical, cultural and social contexts in which the art was created. And he is able to convey that knowledge in a manner that is accessible and fascinating. He’s also a pleasure to spend time with, and we had many great conversations in which he answered our endless questions. The trip on the canal boat was also great, as it gives an entirely different perspective on the city.

Don’t just take our word for it
Sabry was a 5 star guide. Beyond having a PhD and speaking around the world, Sabry is an expert storyteller which makes any topic spellbinding. He knew history on it all - from classic art to the roots of classic shops. He guided us to incredible local delicacies, was clearly known to the shopkeepers by their familiar waves and answered every question with expert historical knowledge.
