Guided tours are the way to see this museum!

This museum is absolutely massive. Having a guide to walk us through the highlights and provide valuable historical context was enjoyable compared to an audio guide. The tour guide was very knowledgeable to answer questions, passionate about the museum, and well engaged. My husband, 12-year-old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A great perk - tickets included and skipped the line entering via the group entrance. Book now and enjoy!

Operator response

Thank you for your fabulous feedback, Shawna! Truly glad you enjoyed the Rijksmuseum experience with us! Wish you all the best!

Mike was phenomenal

We had Mike as our guide at the Rijksmuseum and he was brilliant. He was clearly Mr. Popular at the museum. Super friendly from the start, and had a real knack for getting everyone in the group involved. He made the whole experience feel easy and fun, even for people who wouldn't normally call themselves art lovers. His knowledge was impressive. Hands down one of the best tours we've done.

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful words, Hemal! Truly happy you enjoyed the Rijksmuseum experience with Mr. Max! Wish you all the best!

A wonderful Tour and worth the price

Another problem with the website and finding the place to meet. We did finally meet our tour guide Benedetta and she was worth the wait. This was a small group tour, which turned out to be My wife and I plus a young couple. I was in a borrowed wheel chair and Benedetta was able to move all four us right in front of the paintings and statues. She shared with us a wealth of information about the paintings and the painters. We were only her second tour and she was great. She moved us from one location to another, like a beautiful dance. Viator has found a beautiful gem in Benedetta, I hope they can keep her. We do recommend this tour.

Operator response

Thank you for your fabulous feedback, Rudy! Really happy you enjoyed the Rijksmuseum experience with our precious Benedetta! Wish you all the best!
