Ask for Janet! Great guide. - We had an amazing and insightful tour of the museum with Janet —who’s an engaging, knowledgeable and delightful guide. She’s a history major by training and brings that historical context to the tour with great details and insights. Loved the approach. Two hours flew by.

Perfect Rijksmuseum Tour - Janet was very informative and gave us the right sampling of the art history of Amsterdam as told through the objects from the Rijksmuseum collection. This Tour is worth every penny as you get good value for money from a great tour guide.

Maria was in touch - Maria was timely, proficient, knowledgeable, articulate, and extremely caring. Her passion and architectural/art curator educations made the experience complete. More time with Maria would have been the only improvement o could suggest.

Afternoon at the Rijksmuseum - Our tour guide, Jo, was extremely knowledgeable about art and the various works we viewed, however, was also able to offer a historical perspective about what was happening during the time that may have influenced the artist's paintings. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely do it again.
