5.00Smooth experience. The guide was on time and we managed to see all of the museum in 1,5h. It was a pity that the library was closed. The guide also gave us great tips about Amsterdam and good stories.
Fantastic tour

5.00I was with my mom and we were lucky enough to be the only two people on the tour. Basically a private tour at a reasonable price. Our guide was Vita and she was great at getting us to all the rooms and not letting us miss anything.
