4.00Rob is an amazing tour guide. He is knowledgeable, patient and flexible. We had a great tour of the Van Gogh museum but were surprised to discover that the Rijksmuseum closes at 5, effectively cutting an hour from our allotted time. If it were not for that, I would have given this activity 5 stars.

5.00Rob, our museum guide, was excellent. He handled our multi generational group with ease. He was willing to be flexible with our plans allowing for a quick break between the museums and finding elevators for my mom. His knowledge of the museums made our visits efficient and educational. I so appreciated having him take the lead and managing our group. Took so much stress off of me.
Wonderful tour of two museums
