Recommend - This museum is such a wonderful experience! Our guide Paola was fantastic. She explained the history and cultural events that influenced the artifacts and paintings. She led us through all the levels in relation to historical ages. We visited during February so the museum was less crowded.

Our guide, Victoria, did an excellent job of highlighting the significant pieces of the collection. We had a particular interest in one artist and she was able to accommodate us with an in-depth review of his work. If you are in Amsterdam for a short period, this is the best way to enjoy the museum.

10 out of 10! - Irina was an exceptional tour guide. Her depth of knowledge about the Rijksmuseum was remarkable, blending art, history, and storytelling in a way that kept us engaged from start to finish. She brought the collection to life with context, insight, and enthusiasm, making the experience both educational and genuinely memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. The museum itself was great as well and worth visiting a second time.
