Wonderful tour!
This was a great museum experience. Our tour guide Hanneke really loves what she’s doing, so personable and knowledgeable. We take tours all the time and she’s definitely the best!
A must book activity in Amsterdam!
What a wonderful experience to see some amazing pieces of work. Our guide Ewald had an incredible amount of knowledge on Van Gogh and was very engaging. I am admitedly not the most knowledgable in the history of art but Ewald made this very relatable and it made me appreciate the experience so much more than if I had self guided myself through the museum. I wold highly recommend booking this tour as it will elevate your museum experience!
