Sylvia gave a fantastic 2-hour tour of the Rijksmuseum. She managed to cover highlights at a perfect pace and brought each artwork to life with great storytelling. The highlight was standing before Rembrandt’s Night Watch — her insights made me notice details I would have missed on my own. Highly recommend if you want to make the most of a short visit!
A must!

Anja was absolutely wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about everything at the museum and did a fantastic job communicating fast enough to see as much as possible but also still being able to follow what she was saying. I am super grateful for this experience and her expertise! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants a little more depth to art observed. Thank you Anja!

We strongly recommend that all visitors take a Guide to better understand the history of each work in its historical and artistic context. For the French the Gauthier guide is an excellent choice! Again thank you Gauthier for your professionalism and the richness of your comments.
