Wonderful experience! - Very knowledgeable guide who took us to some of the most import works of art and pointed out what we should look for in each one. I learned so much! This was unlike usual museum visits which wear me out while I wander around not really knowing anything.

Great informative tour! - Our guide was excellent. Being an artist herself she made very insightful remarks about the various artists and their paintings.. she made the tour very interesting that even my husband who is anti museums, loved the tour and said he learned a lot, not only about the arts but also the history of Amsterdam, their tradings, and how the country as a whole reaped the benefits of such tradings.. we both truly enjoyed the tour .
