Made the museum accessible and interesting - A terrific tour with Erin allowed us to concentrate on the Dutch master paintings and insights into the artwork. Background on the building itself then helpful information where in the museum to find other artwork of note and of interest to us.

Would definitely recommend! - We really enjoyed our tour with Erin. Not only was she very friendly, she had a great amount of knowledge about everything we saw in the museum. We loved the background info about the building of the museum and the architect who designed it. She gave us the perfect balance between a structured guided tour and letting us roam around ourselves. And of course we stayed for an extra few hours after the tour was over!

Our tour guide Max was... - Our tour guide Max was wonderful -- personable and knowledgeable-- making our visit to the museum a memorable experience. He explained a number of the paintings and other exhibits, giving quite a bit of information about the paintings and/or artists which I had not heard previously.

Semi-Private tour not to be missed - Having been to the Rijks Museum before I wanted to focus on 16th century Dutch artists, particularly Johannes Vermeer. Booking this 1.5 hr tour with Paola was everything and more I could ask for in learning about Dutch artists. I enjoyed hearing what she saw in Vermeer paintings that I hadn’t considered. Paola has a strong background in art and shared her knowledge with me and my husband. She was especially helpful explaining the restoration process of Rembrandts ‘The Night Watch’. I would highly recommend booking this tour. Thank you so much Paola! PS… check out her children’s book she wrote in the Rijks museum gift shop, ‘The ABC of Amsterdam’. My granddaughter loves this book!

Highly recommend it!! - Outstanding experience, our private guide (Dan) was extremely knowledgeable and professional. As a tourist with limited time having a private guided tour made our visit to the Rijksmuseum, even more memorable.

Rijksmuseum tour - Private experience on a very crowded day at the museum. Alex our guide was perfect. She took us to paintings that were excellent examples of the techniques the Dutch masters used. Well worth the fee.

Concise and informative - The guide was amiable and not pretentious. He presented highlights that provided a well-designed overview of the main points in the history of Dutch painters and Rembrandt, beginning with the images on stained glass and tiles on the floor.
