A great tour! - Our guide was a veteran and extremely knowledgeable about the art in the two museums. We skipped the line and saw all of the high points in both museums separated by a lunch break. We had already had a walking tour at the beginning of our week in Amsterdam, so we stayed until closing at the museum, rather than walking in the rain.

Do not miss this when in Amsterdam! - Crossed this off my bucket list! We used a guide, Steve, at [email protected] for both museums. Highly recommend! We went on a weekday and it was VERY busy. LOVED the Van Gogh Museum and could have spent more time easily. Steve gave us lots of facts and interesting anecdotes about Van Gogh and his life story. Using a guide also took us to the front of lines and exhibits. Rijks Museum was great too!

Great tour for checking things off your bucket list - Our guide Steve was very knowledgable about history and art. He was kind and patient with my 8 & 10 year olds and customized the experience to keep them engaged. He went out of his way to help us meet our goals for the day of getting an overview of the city and the two museums. Highly recommend this tour if you (or your littles) have a limited attention span and just want to see the highlights and come back for more another time. Myself, I would spend many more hours, but I knew my kids would not last. He enabled us to really understand a few pieces of art in each museum as well as engaging information about certain artists and time periods of art.

Excellent tour of the city and it’s top museums - We all really enjoyed our walking tour and guided museum tour with Steve. He showed us parts of Amsterdam we probably would never have found and explained a lot of the long history and interesting stories of the city. Touring the museums with him was also excellent as he knew where to go to see the best of them and had lots of background knowledge about the artists and the pieces. Would definitely recommend it!

Historical and Artistic Pathways of Amsterdam - Our guide, Steven, was one of the most fantastic guides I’ve had while taking tours abroad! He was incredibly knowledgeable about history, the pathways and buildings of Amsterdam, and he was an incredible art informant in the museums! He was patient, pleasant, and incredibly thorough! Definitely take this trip!

100% Recommendation - Steve was very informative on both museums and the area around Amsterdam. Steve showed us a lot of non-tourist stuff that’s very important to Amsterdam. We recommend this tour. Steve, thanks for the very personalized tour you gave us. The Smiths
