Clare was an excellent... - Clare was an excellent guide. She has an immense amount of knowledge about the Rijks and showed us exactly the highlights we wanted, including some things we didn't even know we wanted, in a brief two hours. She could have kept us entertained and interested all day.

Beautiful - It’s a very large museum so give yourself plenty of time to experience as much of it as possible. Great variety of different types and styles.

Two excellent tours! - I have visited Amsterdam twice in the past 6 months and both times a 360 Amsterdam tour was the highlight of my trip. The Rijksmuseum tour with Sylvia yesterday was excellent - you were so warm and engaging, you really brought the history and paintings to life. My friends and I were talking about it long after the tour ended. Thank you! Also, a belated review for the excellent Van Gogh museum tour I took last August with Kiran (I hadn’t caught your name at the time) Your enthusiasm was infectious and inspired me to further research one of the paintings (Café du Tambourin) for a series of lessons for my own students. Thank you!

Martina was Amazing!!! - Martina was an amazing tour guide. Friendly and very informative throughout our tour. The entry/processing was quick with no issues. Length of tour was perfect. Martina would read the room with noise/capacity when needed to ensure our tour was smooth and meeting our needs.

Disappointing museum tour experience - I do not recommend 360AmsterdamTours. The tour guide did not use a microphone and no headphones or earbuds were provided for the group. When I asked about this on site, the guide told me that they do not use audio equipment. This was extremely inconvenient, especially considering that we were a group of 15 people visiting the Rijksmuseum on December 26th, 2025 - one of the busiest days of the year. In such a crowded environment, it was often frustrating and difficult to hear the guide. Additionally, we found the content of the tour disappointing. Over the 2-hour tour, we saw only about 20-25 % of the Rijksmuseum, spending more than 10 minutes in front of each of a small number of selected paintings. This approach did not match our expectations. We would have preferred a faster-paced tour covering a wider range of artworks and exhibits.
