Having a museum-registered guide like Paola makes all the difference. She took us, as promised, to the highlights and explained the finer points of each item and why it was considered so important.
Thank you for your lovely words, Stuart! Truly happy you enjoyed the Rijksmuseum experience with our Paola! Wish you all the best!
Informative and knowledgeable guide. Would highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for your kind words, our dear customer! Happy you enjoyed the tour with our guide!
We had the good fortune to have had a top notch guide. He teaches others to learn to be museum guides and travels around the world to other top rated museums as a guide. Absolutely superb. I could not have appreciated what we saw without his guidance.
Thank you for your fabulous feedback, Jan! So happy you enjoyed the Rijksmuseum experience with our expert guide, who is truly the best!
Max is excellent. If you want the best tour of this museum this is the one to go with. Very knowledgeable and interesting tid bits of Amsterdam history.
Thank you for your wonderful words, Jed! Truly glad you enjoyed the Rijksmuseum experience with our Max!
Max was knowledgeable and entertaining. We so enjoyed his choice of paintings to analyze. The time frame of 1 1/2 hours was perfect also.
Thank you for your fantastic feedback, Martha! So happy you enjoyed the Rijksmuseum experience with our knowledgeable Max!
The guide is very knowledgeable. The tour only covers a small portion of the museum’s collection, but then free to explore on your own.
Thank you for your kind review, Mary! Truly glad you enjoyed the Rijksmuseum tour with our guide! It is indeed focused on the unmissable highlights of the Golden Age as otherwise the museum is overwhelmingly big and no tour can comprise its collection's 8000 items.
What an amazing experience. Bene is an amazing tourist guide , she was well knowledgeable and made sure we get up close to each art piece. It was the money worth to have her as she gave us a deeper insight to the importance of each artwork and her little quizzes
Thank you so much, Alet, for your wonderful words! Truly happy you enjoyed the Rijksmuseum experience with our Benedetta! Wish you all the best!
Max was the greatest tour guide! Spent longer than our 1.5 hrs. Soooo knowledgeable, informative and patient too. Highlighted significant history. Very very good
Thank you for your fabulous feedback, dear Kathie! So happy you enjoyed the Rijksmuseum with our Max! Wish you all the best!
The instructions to redeem the museum tickets were unclear and the museum staff did not seem to know what to do either. In the end, we simply waited at the 'meeting point' for our guide Erin and she took care of everything. Erin was fantastic. She was an excellent communicator and passed on her love for the Dutch artist to those listening.
Hello Maryann, Sorry, but we beg to differ. You were sent precise instructions as to where to meet your guide and your guide met you at "the meeting point", as you yourself state. The instructions you were sent specifically state that the guide will provide the tickets, and as you yourself admit, the guide took care of that. As to why you felt the need to contact the museum staff, when everything was crystal clear it's beyond us. This was a semi-private tour and all other clients found everything easy-peasy as you can read in other reviews. We take care of everything so that our clients enjoy the tour to the maximum. Some clients just love to split hairs.
We had a semi private tour which I would highly recommend. Our guide, Max, was excellent, informative and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him learning about Rembrandt, some of the other masters and the history of the museum.
Thank you for your lovely review, Linda! Truly glad you enjoyed the Rijksmuseum with our Max! Wish you all the best!
