Fabulous Guide - Martina was our guide to Rijks Museum. Martina has deep appreciation and knowledge of Rembrandt, his contemporaries, and that grand period of Amsterdam history. She analyzed paintings for us with a scholar’s eye and used images on an iPad to highlight some points and remind us of the connection to paintings we had already seen. We were delighted with our guide, Martina, and with our museum experience!

A beautiful museum that is well worth taking a tour with somebody that is well-versed in all the different artist - We had an excellent guide. He was so knowledgeable, friendly, and well-versed in all of the artwork! He made the tour lively and not boring or dry. I would highly recommend this tour but go early like we did at 9:30 in the morning because there was nobody there once it starts getting crowded. It’s very hard to hear because there’s so many people with different tour groups.
