Rijksmuseum Tours

A reminder from the Company early in the morning, thankfully we were well organised and aware of the bookings, however an ideal reminder and gratefully received. To begin we walked to the Rijksmuseum, presented our on line booking forms, scanned and in we went. The floors are divided into particular eras, extremely well laid out with either stair or lift access and well signed. Some beautiful Work’s of art on display by famous and less well known artists, mostly by Dutch painters, but works by other nationalities also on display. Definitely a must visit whilst in Amsterdam

Be sure to give yourself enough time to fully explore the museum... I spent three hours there and found myself rushing towards the end coz i was pressed for time with another place to be at. Also quick tip would be to go straight to the second floor and then make your way down...

Very nice museum. I honestly decided to go due to the lack of a ticket for the Van Gogh museum, but I must say that the experience was surprising and of considerable impact. It contains a vast exhibition of works by Dutch artists, but also some works by foreign artists including Monet.

The Canal Cruise was beautiful and a good way to see Amsterdam's canals. The only thing I had an issue with was not being able to hear the guide very well with my headphones, but that may have just been mine. The Rijksmuseum was fantastic, very large so maybe prioritise the areas that you wish to see most. I loved learning about the trade history of Amsterdam in the 1600's
