About Thijmen

My sessions all look at Leiden from outside its museum doors rather than through a ticket, an antiquities museum with a real Egyptian temple inside, a cloth hall turned art museum, and a windmill still used for milling. I keep my explanations short and specific. I trained as a museum guide before switching to filming from outside instead, which took some adjusting. On camera I hold on one detail long enough for it to properly register before I move to the next stop.

How reviews work

Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
