Highlights
  • Rijksmuseum - Holland’s version of the Louvre is a must, and this tour will introduce first-time visitors to the impressive and expansive collection that curates Dutch history over the centuries. For those who aren’t familiar with Dutch culture, we will explore its rich and vibrant past through a selection of paintings and artifacts from the 8000 objects on display. We’ll explore familiar names like Rembrandt while discussing lesser known items like 17th century dollhouses and Vermeer’s portrait of domesticity, “The Milkmaid.” There’s even a fascinating 19th century library containing more stories than we could ever tell. By the end, you’ll have a good overview of the museum’s collection and you may even know how to pronounce its name correctly.

A wonderful visit to Rijksmuseum with Romy - We had a wonderful visit to Rijksmuseum with Romy. In a 2 1/2 hour visit, Romy captured all the points of interest and talked about every painting and piece of art with extreme knowledge and passion. We truly enjoyed every minute spent with Romy and she emailed me a link for the museums as she promised with a detailed explanation. We whole heartedly recommend booking a tour with Romy.

Best art museum tour our family has ever done - Our tour guide, Anna, treated us to 25 years of experience and research packed into two hours. Our three boys were fascinated by Anna's stories and perspectives on art and how it related to the history of Amsterdam. For our entire family, I would say that our perspective of art has been transformed. We left with a completely new appreciation for the Dutch masters and deeply enjoyed our two hours touring the Rijksmuseum with Anna!

Outstanding guide and tour - Our guide, Monique, was outstanding. She provided excellent historical background and context that enhanced our enjoyment and appreciation of the art we viewed. Her knowledge of the artist and their paintings were rich and communicated very well. We would not hesitate to have her as a guide on future Amsterdam tours.
