A great guide makes the difference - Our guide, Wybe Rood, gave a tour that was the perfect blend of information, context, and interest. We enjoyed the museum masterpieces and Wybe’s stories about each one. This was 2 hours well-spent.

Jam-packed, super engaging, great guide - The Rijksmuseum is huge, so we wanted a tour that covered the main highlights. Me and my family upgraded to a personal tour and were lucky enough to get Martina. Not only did she have an encyclopaedic knowledge of everything, but pointed out interesting, fun and easily missed facts that I would certainly have missed alone. The time flew in incredibly fast and we saw much more than expected which was a pleasant surprise. Definitely would go again and would highly recommend!

Nice overview of Dutch painters and museum . - Daniel was excellent guide for us. Knowledgeable of the museum and adding personal perspectives. He focused primarily on the 17th century Dutch masters.

Excellent and highly recommended! - Our 2nd time with Viator for a small group tour of the Rijksmuseum. Last time was 10 years ago. We had a great experience then. This time with better knowledge of the Dutch masters was even better. Especially with Clare, an English woman who is an artist herself. She is highly knowledgeable and provided lots of helpful background and context. Highly recommended!
