How to enjoy your first visit to the Rijksmuseum in one easy step! - Tea was absolutely outstanding. She integrated answers to our questions seamlessly. We were on a canal boat tour later that day and some of the other passengers were talking about their visit to the Rijksmuseum, using the . audio guide. They came away feeling overwhelmed - there is so much to see, so much art, so much history- and if you don't have a good base to work from it's just too much. Our tour was the opposite: it left me wanting more (and with this tour you can stay on afterwards- which is not true with all tours). I was a little worried about a 2.5 hour tour seeming long- but it never did. And- you didn't have to be an art fiend to enjoy it: she made it accessible and relatable. It was like tapas- lots of small bites, each one delicious, and at the end you feel really satisfied, not overfull! Absolutely worth every cent.

Best tour ever - We had an amazing guide by the name of Anna, and we went through the Reich museum in Amsterdam. She was not only informative, charming, friendly, entertaining, gave us enormous amount of information about paintings that you may not read in books. It was actually an exhilarating experience and I would recommend The tour with Anna anytime.

I would have missed so much! - I would have missed so much history if I went by myself. Diana did a phenomenal job not only explaining about the art and artist, but the accompanying history. A stellar experience!

Stories of Art So Poignant - Paola was an amazing guide and provided fascinating glimpses regarding the paintings of the masters, pointing to so many nuances that truly breathe life into the art. Context of the period was helpful to learn as well. Loved Paola’s deep passion for not only the art but also art education!

Experience the museum highlights in a small group tour! - We've done at least 10 museum tours on our most recent visit to Paris and Amsterdam and our guide, Romy Muste, was one the very best. She navigated the crowded museum with ease, figuring out the best way for our group to see the highlights and have time to look at pieces on our own. Her art history knowledge was excellent and the way she explained each piece was so interesting. She also expertly managed the different levels of art "interest" among the group (some of us more interested than others!). Highly recommend doing the small group of this stunning museum and maybe you'll get lucky enough to get Romy as your guide!
