5.00The museum is very large and without a wonderful guide like Michael it would be impossible to navigate. This was a fantastic experience. You got to see Rembrandt’s most famous paintings and why he was a fantastic painter. Because of Michael we got to know Rembrandt’s life and why he ended up bankrupt. Great experience overall!
Highly recommended

5.00Kayleigh was an outstanding guide. Knowledgeable and passionate about the art in the Rijksmuseum. Very open to answering questions. If a guide can make or break a tour, Kayleigh made this tour a memorable experience. Well worth the cost of a private tour.
Great Guide!
