A great tour but pricey

An excellent tour and beautiful museum. Our guide Henk was very knowledgeable and a super nice guy. The museum is impressive and I’m glad we had Henk to walk us through the highlights. My only complaint is the cost, which seems quite high for a two hour tour.

Excellent tour

Jo was our tour guide and she made the experience fun and interesting! She was kind, professional, had a great sense of humor, and very knowledgable about the artwork, which made learning about the different works of art a very enjoyable experience.

Rijksmuseum with Ewald B.

I am not an avid museum goer, but my experience with our guide Ewald B. was tremendous. It was very obvious how passionate he is about the artwork in the museum. He made the artwork come to life with his interpretations and history of the paintings. He made my experience truly enjoyable!

Our guide was...

Our guide was knowledgeable of the building architecture itself along with the paintings and artists’ histories inside. We should have scheduled more time there.

Really great insights...

Really great insights from our guide into the lives of the Dutch Masters. Ewald was very good at navigating through the crowds so we could get a good look at the art up close.
