5.00Max was outstanding! We had a group of 6 and everyone thought he was great. He spent a good deal of time ~10 minutes on each piece and really brought the paintings, history and artist to life. Despite the crowds, Max waited patiently and sometimes inserted himself to make sure could see and hear him. Excellent experience! Would highly recommend.
Competence and courtesy, not easy to find together!

Marcel is BY FAR THE BEST tour guide I've ever had in my life

5.00So I travel a decent amount and whenever I travel I go to museums not because I'm a museum person necessarily but I like to respect the culture and see a number of different things. I've been on countless tours and in countless museums and on countless experiences and I've never had someone that gave me a higher level of appreciation for what I was viewing than Marcel. He's absolutely phenomenal. Book no one else. This guy is the truth
Good art at the Rijks.

5.00Erin did a great job showing us all the big paintings in this museum. She pointes out the details of the paintings and what the artist was thought to convey. Very friendly and highly recommended.

5.00Our tour guide, Paola, was a wealth of information about the paintings and the history of the era. She was also very good about dealing with some of our group's limitations (inability to stand in one place for a long time, etc.). Highly recommend!

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Benedetta as our guide. She is an art historian, educated in Italy, with such in depth knowledge of the art and artists she showed us! And she made it so fun with little “challenges” as we looked at the art and architecture. She even took us to the dollhouses because she knew we were planning to see them after the tour. She talked about them with us as an historian—a different way of viewing them. Don’t miss this experience in Amsterdam!
A must do in Amsterdam, excellent and extraordinary guide
