I had a wonderful tour with Ewald! I was running late due to a bike accident, but he was super understanding and patient. The tour itself was excellent, Ewald was very knowledgeable and answered all of the group’s questions with ease. At the end, he even offered to continue for an extra 15 minutes, making sure first that no one was on a tight schedule. Such a thoughtful touch! Highly recommend.

Our Guide Cecilia was excellent. Cecilia was knowledgeable, friendly, thoughtful, caring, insightful, humorous and animated. She clearly loved art and the Rijks Museum. She involved the tour group and ensured that we all had an excellent view of the pieces of art she was about to speak about. Cecilia went out of her way to make the tour enjoyable and memorable!

Our tour with Hanneke was wonderful. We do not know alot about art but Hanneke was able to bring it to life for us, explaining the story behind each piece of art she showed us. In the time we had at the museum she was able to speak to the pieces of most importance. Had we done this tour on our own we would have wandered and not have gotten as much out of our visit. Thanks Hanneke for bringing the art to life for us.
