Great visit to the Rijksmuseum with Cecile - We had a great experience at the Rijksmuseum thanks to our guide Cecile from Babylon tours. It was great having a small group tour so the tour felt personal and we could hear and see Cecile give her explanations without a large group. Cecile curated the collection to show us a great variety of the collections while also focusing on the most popular items. She was easy to understand and her energy and enthusiasm kept us all engaged. Thanks for a great morning!

full day, van Gogh and Rijksmuseum semi Private tour - Cecile S gave us one of the best tours that we’ve had ever, including years of traveling to historical sites and museums. We opted for the full day, van Gogh and Rijksmuseum semi private tour with a break for lunch between. Her education on art history and dedication to teaching with skillful answers to questions made this extremely memorable and valuable.
