Description
Amor Artium, is a small Amsterdam company by two young art historians. We're on a mission to provide the most memorable and exceptional art tours possible! 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Enjoy a private tour of the Rijksmuseum with an art historian as your guide.
Dive deep into the works of the Dutch 17th-century masters. Discover Rembrandt's phenomenal brushstrokes, step into Vermeer's intimate scenes, and learn why there was not a lot of smiling on pictures.
Gain a solid understanding of why Dutch art was flourishing in the 17th century and how Amsterdam became such a liberal city. But, it's not only the 17th century that you will discover!
Van Gogh went to the opening of the Rijksmuseum in 1885. He was waiting for his friend, in the meantime he made a sketch of Amsterdam in oil paint. That day he went to the Rijksmuseum, left his bag with the painting in the wardrobe. Now 150 years later, the painting is back and on view!

Walk with an art history major who is also a fantastic person!
Titia sent a message the day before to establish a meeting point. She gave a great description so we could identify her. When we met she was immediately welcoming. She started with a great description of the history of the building and the architecture, then walked us through the art in a logical way, ending on a wonderful painting that is her favorite of the collection. We truly connected with her not just from a shared love of Van Gogh, Vermeer, Rembrandt, and the influence of Italian artists like Caravaggio, but on a more personal level. Titia is kind, funny, open, and so very easy to talk to. Yes, she has an art history degree, but more importantly she is a lovely human and communicator. Highly recommend her tour. We loved Titia and totally enjoyed our time with her.

A fantastic private tour.
I took a morning for myself to take the tour with Florentine and thoroughly treasured every moment. Her expertise and insight into the art really made it come alive. If you want to learn about the artists and their works, this is the tour to take. Easy meet up and quick entry allowed for maximum time in the museum as well.

A fantastic tour to view and better understand some Iconic Dutch Masterpieces
We were so pleased we took this small group private tour, with Titia as our guide. She was delightful, professional and very knowledgeable, as she guided us through and helped us understand at a deeper level, the dynamics of each piece we viewed, as well as providing us with their historical context, in addition to the history of the Museum as well. The booking process was seamless and both Titia, and the company reached out to us, in welcoming us to the tour and making sure we knew, where and when to meet. Book this wonderful tour!

Amor Artium- Outstanding
I learned so much from our Amor Artium Guide. I learned about Amsterdam through the paintings of Rembrandt and the other Dutch Masters. The Guide was an art historian and her passion for each painting and the stories behind each painter and painting brought everything alive. I am so glad we went with Amor Artium. It was an unforgettable experience at the Rijksmuseum.

Awesome art historian for a wonderful Rijksmuseum tour
Ank provided us with an amazing tour of the Dutch masters in the Rijksmuseum! Her deep knowledge of Rembrandt and other masters paired with her knowledge of Amsterdam and Holland history gave us such an informative and memorable experience. I highly recommend Amor Artium and specifically Ank for this museum if you can get her!

The only way to see the Rijksmuseum.
What a great experience! Titia was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour so special. I don't think I will ever tour another museum without a private guide.
