The museum unlike the van gogh museum is vast and varied. The guide brought the dutch golden era to life and made the history fascinating.

After the presentations, Sylvia our guide adapted perfectly to our request. The visit was very informative (including for our 2 daughters aged 15 and 17), friendly and full of humour. We highly recommend. Thank you Sylvia for this good time.

The Rijinmuseum is too crowded to be pleasant. The guide did not have a well thoughout story to tell. She basically stopped at pictures that were not overly crowded, without tying them all together.

Martina was superb. The sound system used was better than any other tour I’ve been on. Single ear piece, no static! Insights given appropriately and appreciated on this morning tour. Glad we went. Would recommend.

Holly was a fabulous guide, her knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject was clear and she took the time to explain things in detail. It was a great tour, included museum access for the day so you can stay after and explore more also.

Martina was wonderful - very knowledgeable - and she gave a good "highlights" tour encompassing some of the most significant pieces in the museum. It was a great introduction to the Rijksmuseum.
