Fantastic Tour and Guide - Cecile was a phenomenal tour guide! She provided us with background information about the museum itself, then lead us through the highlights . She is knowledgeable and passionate about art. Cecile kept us engaged about each piece and entertained us with interesting information about the artist, the times in which they lived, etc.. it was a delightful experience. I also appreciated several follow up emails confirming our meeting location and special requests. We highly recommend this company and Cecile!

An Amazing guide with such a warm personality - We did our tour today led by Cecile. She was amazing and such a lovely person. She transformed a walk through a museum into a ln informative, incredibly interesting description of not only Vincent’s work, but his life and his peers. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and would never do a gallery tour without Cecile! Michael and Andrea

Well worth the private tour! - Fannie was our guide for the Rijksmuseum and she is fantastic! We spent several hours walking through the museum learning so much about many of the paintings. Fannie is extremely knowledgeable and is a very pleasant person...the time flew by. We went later in the afternoon and it wasn't very crowded, which was even better.

A really great private tour with real give and take - We've been to the Rijksmuseum 4 or 5 times and wanted a more detailed view of the works housed in this incredible museum. It started right away , as our guide Genevieve pointed out the architecture/architect of this beautiful building. She was very interactive , it wasn't just a one way conversation , she asked us what we saw what our impressions were not just her POV/opinion. I wouldn't hesitate to take this tour , even if you've been before. Next year the Van Gogh!

Leuk - Recently I did a private tour in the Rijksmuseum and it was a great experience! The guide was very knowledgeable and not only captivated us with interesting facts about the artworks, but also with stories about the history of the Netherlands. During the tour we had the chance to see iconic masterpieces such as "The Night Watch" by Rembrandt and "The Milkmaid" by Vermeer up close. The guide took the time to explain each piece and show us what to look for. It was special to discover the details and techniques you might normally miss. A private tour offers the opportunity to ask questions and adjust the pace to your own interest. This made the experience even more special. All in all, it was an unforgettable day in one of the most beautiful museums in the world. I can recommend it to anyone who loves art and history!
