A wonderful experience! - What an amazing experience having Clare as our tour guide at both the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum! She had excellent knowledge, presentation, and insights of both the artists and their paintings. A trained artist herself, she thoroughly described each piece by its artistic design and style. We learned so much but also just had a great time. Clare made the art come alive by telling us stories about each piece. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

Must do in Amsterdam - Diana was the best tour guide! I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with her and learning about Dutch artists. Her warm personality and visual aids were plus to the presentation. The plan of going to two museums in a day was daunting but with her guidance we were able to see almost the entirety of both museums.

Van Gogh 10x better with Guide - We thoroughly enjoyed our Van Gogh. Our guide, Irina, was wonderful and very well informed. She made the tour so much better than if we had done it alone.

Exceptional Experience with Ewald - One of our priorities in coming to Amsterdam was to tour the Rijks and Van Gogh museums and knew we couldn’t do it without an expert guide. Ewald was exceptional. His knowledge of history and art is vast. He made sure to tailor the tour to what we wanted to see but we deferred to him and his expertise to lead the way. Such a phenomenal experience that anyone interested in art history should do. The best.
