Awesome 90 minute tour with Max - We had a 90 minute tour with Max and he was outstanding. We got a clear communication of exactly where to meet him. He proceeded to make sure we were comfortable and gave us a tour that started with some description of the museum itself just for context. We continued to the galleries and he really gave us insights into so many of the works of art. It was so much better than generic audio tours of museums that we’ve done before. He talked not only about the historical context of the art but also the technical aspects and even our emotional reactions to each piece. We really enjoyed the tour. You’d be lucky to have Max as a guide.

Wonderful intro to Dutch Masters - Max is a wonderful guide, and his love of art truly shines through. Although we had only had a short visit due to our own time constraints, we thoroughly enjoyed what we saw and learned a lot. It is an amazing museum. Thank you, Max!

Great Guide in a Great Museum - Max was my guide, and he was wonderful. He is an artist and art teacher, and he showed me how to really look at a picture and not just glide by. He also taught me a lot about the Dutch school of painting and the intricacies of the building itself. Could not have been better unless it had been longer!

Rijksmuseum tour as it should be. - Excellent tour of Rijksmuseum. Erin, our guide, was very knowledgeable about both the history of the museum itself as well a wonderful guide to the art. We took the three hour tour, 90 minutes would not have been at all fair to the building or the art. Learning the Dutch art styles was great. I have been to the museum on my own several times. Alone I missed all the nuances. I strongly recommend Erin and her tour. She is very outgoing, an expert, and was very attentive to our needs. Lots to see, very nice having a good guide to focus us.

Outstanding - We opted for a ninety minute tour with Ieva as our guide and it was outstanding. Ieva asked about our particular interests and then took us to all of the key locations in the museum, with delightful, expert insight and commentary. We would highly recommend this experience and Ieva in particular.

We asked our guide to show us her favourites. Too large a museum to cover in the time allotted for a tour. Rememberable - We so enjoyed Ieva and her joy of telling the story of the art (along with her extensive knowledge) made it a remarkable experience.

The best tour guide ever. - Awesome. Max was outstanding. He is aknowledgeable guide. He made the experience special because he truly cares about showing you the best the museum has to offer. He explained and pointed out many things that we would not have noticed. We can honestly say that Max made our tour of the Rijksmuseum much more special and informative than we would have experienced on our own.
