Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Kawika was a great guide for the museum, one that can be so overwhelming. He guided us across the most important pieces of art and in detail explain the history and the details of these masterpieces. He described what we saw and what was not there but hidden in the history. He is a great storyteller, made the tour super interesting and full of details. We highly recommend Kawika, soft spoken, professional and well knowledgeable. "
"I had a wonderful day with Olga visiting everything in Amsterdam. She is fun, courteous, intelligent, speaks great English and is very caring. She led me through the city avoiding big areas of tourists. There were so many little passageways to buildings that I never would have seen without Olga's guiding. She answered every question and has good knowledge of Dutch history. I wouldn't hesitate to book a tour with her."
"Touring the Rijksmuseum with Anna was so engaging and informative. She contacted us in advance to determine how best to spend our time together. I really appreciated that. During our two hour tour, Anna provided insightful information, answered our questions, and brought the art to life. Her background in political science and history gave deep insight to the artists and their masterpieces. I highly recommend taking a tour with Anna. "
"We really enjoyed our museum visit with Anna. She had a lot of knowledge and perspectives on art pieces that we just wouldn't have seen if we were on our own. She also shared a bit about Amsterdam life that was interesting. She has a very direct manner that was super charming."

"Rolf really made our visit to the Rijksmuseum fabulous! He made everything come alive for us. He really has a passion for his subject and it shows. I wish we could have spent more time with him. Fantastic experience !! "
"Anna was on time and very personable. Her knowledge about Dutch culture was broad and easy to understand. She deftly introduced the subject of clothing, in which I was interested. To be easily guided around the museum to areas of interest was a bonus. Anna was easy to understand. I would recommend her."
"Rolf really made our visit to the Rijksmuseum enjoyable. He was attentive to the needs of the whole family, including out two tweens. We learned a lot about Dutch art and history. "
"Sebastian did a fantastic job! Very knowledgeable and let us go at whatever pace we wanted to. Very friendly guy and excellent tour guide!"
"I did a 5 hour walking hour with Elvina and it honestly felt like much longer. Elvina is patient even prior to our tour and accommodated all the changes I had to make. I saw so many places, learnt so many things and ate the most delicious apple pie. She share alot of information in a clear, systematic and witty manner at an eas pace which I really loved. She constantly checked on me to see if I needed anything. I laughed alot with her and she helped to take very nice photos which I most grateful for. I literally passed many houses with little secrets which I now know about, thanks to Elvina. There were also a couple of surprise locations. At the end of our tour, Elvina recommended more places to get delicious food. I am really glad I took this tour with Elvina. "
"Anna provided us with a comprehensive look at the Rijksmuseum and its collection through the history, culture and politics of Amsterdam and the Netherlands. Based on her selection of paintings and objects to discuss, we came away with a much more complete understanding than we would have had exploring the museum on our own."
Rembrandt van Rijn, arguably the Netherlands' most famous painter, is a central figure in the Rijksmuseum's collection. Experience the artist's genius and explore his pivotal role in Dutch art and history through his iconic work 'The Night Watch' and many other captivating pieces.
