Wonderful Guide and Inspiring Art! - Do not hesitate to book this. Originally we were mainly interested in admission since the day was sold out, but Carola’s charmingly expert guided tour enriched the experience exponentially We learned so much! Even my 11-year old was impressed. Our group was small and the tour felt personal and interactive. The museum would have been overwhelming without Carola guiding us. It was unforgettable to experience and understand Dutch art from the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Worth every penny.

Claire was a great tour guide. - Claire was our tour guide of the Rijks Museum. She was excellent. Her tour packed a lot of historical background far beyond that found in the displays. Her relaxed, conversational style was complemented by her humor and joy. She did a great job of answering all questions while staying on schedule.

Memorable art experience. - The Rijks museum has an astonishing collection of art and it is best to be guided by a knowledgeable and interesting guide.
