5.00We had an excellent time with Gosse at the Rijksmuseum, managing to be knowledgeable but not academic, narrative but not overly familiar. What impressed us most was the fact that he actually encouraged us to see the paintings and not just walk past them. He made us appreciate the Dutch Masters; in particular Rembrandt and Vermeer, in a way that none of us ever could have on our own. He made us interact, look, and talk and this made the whole tour very real, rather than planned out. There were suppose to be four of us in our group but the two were no shows so it ended up like a private tour for us which was fantastic. Gosse was a good guide, passionate, knowledgeable about the museum and the Dutch art history. Having visited countless museums across the globe, I found this one of the most rewarding guided tours. I would definitely suggest Gosse and this tour to all Rijksmuseum visitors.
Amazing

4.00Gosse was very well informed and when we couldn’t get close to the art, he’d pull out his large iPad and show us that way. Usually by then the people would move on and we could also look at the real thing.
Fabulous

5.00Well worth booking a guided tour of the museum. Looking at a selection of paintings in depth, the two hours flew by. Wybe Rood was an excellent guide. He explained everything, showing great humour and a great knowledge and love of his subject.

5.00I really appreciate how Kiran took the effort to “set the stage” with the history of the Netherlands and how it connected to the art. The Rijksmuseum is HUGE so to have someone guide us to specific works and their impact was beneficial to truly appreciate what we were seeing. Would recommend!
