Great way to introduce Amsterdam art scene
Seth_C, May 2024
This was one of the best semi-private tours we have been on. Anna took the time to explain not only the history of the building but also the history and background of the artists and the paintings. The tour was only 2.5 hrs but we could have spent 5 days with her. A real experience that all should have
Well worth it
Mark_M, May 2024
Vera was an excellent guide with good knowledge and personality. Too bad the museum is so crowded. Wish they controlled the numbers better - seems the Van Goh museum does a better job of this
Great tour and museum

One of the must-dos visiting Amsterdam. Well informed, friendly guide, well planned journey through the museum, overall, a great experience. The one change we would consider is having a private guide. Although pricey, probably worth the extra cost.
excellent

Ewald was our guide at the Rijksmuseum. It was great. Very knowledgeable and accommodating for all of the people on the tour. Really helped us to gain a better understanding and appreciation of the art and history. Definitely something to take advantage of if you can.

Victoria is knowledgeable and articulate. We explored the museum and all of the lovely artifacts and beautiful paintings. I learned about the history and appreciate the time exploring this amazing museum. A must see and do! A bonus is getting out of the rain and enjoying a light snack and tea at the cafe.

Romy is a fantastic tour guide and educator. There is so much to experience at the Rijks and prior to starting, she ensured that we tour the items that I was most interested in. Highly recommend this experience.

Excellent guide
Linda_P, Feb 2024
Paola our guide was outstanding. She pointed out things in paintings we thought we were familiar with that we had never seen before. She was knowledgeable and accomodating. A great tour.
Entertaining and a great joy about arts and the masters!
Nathan_G, Jan 2024
Really have a great learning experience with Anna Nikoleava! Anna is really in-depth and has done lots of her own research. She gave really interesting and logical narratives about the artist, the society in those times and the stories about the art pieces! There was no dull moment and she really gave a new perspective on the art and some interpretation! Highly recommended!
Excellent museum!
Bruce_M, Jan 2024
Was able to see the paintings I most wanted to see. One negative was waiting a total of 25 extra minutes for a couple who were late! We got there 15 minutes early as requested and then had to wait 10 minutes past the time to see if the couple would show up. Sure enough they came sauntering in slowly just in time, but it wasted our time waiting for them.
Great tour!
Richard_R, Dec 2023
Henk was an amazing tour guide! We went into this tour knowing we needed a guide to explain all the beautiful art we would see and he did a fantastic job! Would highly recommend!
