Excellent guide and great experience
Paola our guide was engaging friendly and knowledgeable.
Fleur was an exceptional guide. We are two weeks into a European vacation and this is our fifth country and she has been the best guide so far. She reached out in advance so we knew exactly where to meet her. We started early with a small group so we got better viewing of the collection. Fleur’s knowledge and interest was evident as she shared history with our group who varied with understanding of Netherlands history or art. The museum itself was outstanding and our guide focused appropriately to use our time wisely but we got so much out of the experience because of Fleur.
We are now spoiled! Our tour guide Diana was knowledgeable and was able to lead us through the art history of Amsterdam. We may never do a museum tour on our own again.
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.
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.
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 knowledgeable of the building architecture itself along with the paintings and artists’ histories inside. We should have scheduled more time there.
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.
Frank D was a fantastic guide through the Rijksmuseum. He was so knowledgeable, made sure we saw the art we were interested in seeing and the works the museum is famous for, plus a bunch of gems we wouldn’t have otherwise found. He also shared the history of the building itself and the city. It was a wonderful way to see the museum.
