Museum Tour was the Highlight of my Trip!

5.00My guide Edgar Foley led the tour of the Rijksmuseum & Van Gogh Museum. It was a highlight of my trip to Amsterdam! He was professional, knowledgeable & patient. I’m an art aficionado & I learned so many new things about Rembrandt, Van Gogh & Amsterdam. The time flew by during this 4 hour private tour. He took me to view the high points of both museums —- which I never could have navigated on my own. Edgar also had studied architecture & history, so he was able to integrate these. I would highly recommend him for an enjoyable & excellent tour!
Fantastic guide!

5.00My private tour of the Rijksmuseum was truly fantastic, thanks to my amazing guide Tijs. His deep knowledge and engaging storytelling brought the art to life in a way that made me feel like we were traveling back in time. He expertly guided me through the works of Rembrandt, Vermeer, and other Dutch masters, bringing each painter's story and vision to life. It was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to dive deep into art in a personal and meaningful way. Thank you for this remarkable experience Tijs!

5.00Excellent bespoke tour of highlights of the Rijksmuseum. Edgar Foley was a great and knowledgable guide! He put the history of Dutch Art in the Golden Age and earlier in context.
Very informative way to get in contact with Amsterdam and one of its most famous citizens

5.00We made this tour as we prefered to get a more real-live impression of Rembrandt than just looking at his paintings in the Rijksmuseum. And Tijs fullfilled this expectation absolutely. Even if the city looks pretty different today and not all buildings are existing anymore his storytelling makes the 17th century getting back to life before your eyes. He shares a lot of knowledge and you recognize that he is really into his topic and loves to share that. So if you want to get to know Amsterdam from a different view, this is your tour.
Experience Amsterdam with a fun & passionate walking-tour guide

5.00This was an amazing walking tour of Rembrandt’s steps, where he lived, about his work, the good and bad, etc. It was extremely informative and our guide was Tijs who did an outstanding job. He was funny, and professional, and it was obvious he is passionate about history. Definitely worth doing!
