Outstanding overview of the Dutch Masters!

Max was outstanding! We had a group of 6 and everyone thought he was great. He spent a good deal of time ~10 minutes on each piece and really brought the paintings, history and artist to life. Despite the crowds, Max waited patiently and sometimes inserted himself to make sure could see and hear him. Excellent experience! Would highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your fabulous feedback, Mark! Truly appreciate your words and happy you enjoyed the Rijksmuseum experience with Max!

Marcel is BY FAR THE BEST tour guide I've ever had in my life

So I travel a decent amount and whenever I travel I go to museums not because I'm a museum person necessarily but I like to respect the culture and see a number of different things. I've been on countless tours and in countless museums and on countless experiences and I've never had someone that gave me a higher level of appreciation for what I was viewing than Marcel. He's absolutely phenomenal. Book no one else. This guy is the truth

Operator response

Thank you for your fabulous feedback, dear Ian! It was an absolute pleasure to have had you as our guests! Wish you all the best!

Good art at the Rijks.

Erin did a great job showing us all the big paintings in this museum. She pointes out the details of the paintings and what the artist was thought to convey. Very friendly and highly recommended.
