    One of the best museum tours I’ve experienced. The tour was friendly and focused on a progression of art that was very well presented. Top-notch!

    I'm not "art literate". I knew I needed help to know where to go and know what I was looking at. I know a lot more about Rembrandt and Vermeer than I did before. And while I knew Rembrandt was admired, I had no idea about Vermeer, who's paintings I liked even better.

    The tour was great! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Dutch masters and was very familiar with the museum itself. It was obvious she loved her job. I wish i could remember her name, she was an American the had lived in Amsterdam for 20 years. Bonus, you can stay at the museum even after your tour ends. It was a wonderful tour worth every cent.

  • Excellent Rijkmuseuem Experience

    Claire is a terrific guide both extremely knowledgeable and personable. She took time to ask us about our preferences and then provided interesting insights on both the artists and paintings. She also set the stage and explained why the Dutch Masters flourished during the 17th century. To further enhance our experience, she commented on some of the interesting rooms in the Museum and explained their evolution over time. My wife and I both enjoyed the experience, gained knowledge, and our passion for Dutch artists has increased. Thank you Claire!
