Smooth experience. The guide was on time and we managed to see all of the museum in 1,5h. It was a pity that the library was closed. The guide also gave us great tips about Amsterdam and good stories.
Thanks for sharing! Hope to see you again once the library will be ready :)
Our guide was Kawika and he was amazing! We would’ve never managed to explore the entire museum without him in such a short time and taking in all the beautiful art.
Thanks a lot Genea! We are very glad this was helpful and interesting to you :)

I was with my mom and we were lucky enough to be the only two people on the tour. Basically a private tour at a reasonable price. Our guide was Vita and she was great at getting us to all the rooms and not letting us miss anything.
So happy it was a pleasant experience with your mom! Have a great trip back home :)
