Great tour and guide! ...

Great tour and guide! Amazing museum. Loved all the Rembrandt. Well kept with lots of explanations. Loved it!

Awesome musem worth seeing.

Our tour guide (Yiwen) was informative and friendly. However, she was foul mouthed during the tour. F bombs and sexual innuendos made the tour uncomfortable and unprofessional at times.

A great way to see the museum without getting burned out.

Interesting history plus our guide took us to all the highlights.

Enriching experience with a guide

Excellent guide. Brought a perspective to the museum visit I would NEVER have gotten by visiting alone or by just following an app.

I would have liked to...

I would have liked to have learned more about the museum itself and strolled around the outside of the building. Tour was too focused on the tour guides personal art preferences without giving a broader overview of the contents in the museum.
