High quality tour of the museum

Mark_F, Aug 2025
Ana was a great guide. We booked this at the last minute due to another tour canceling on us but she was happy to take it. She went at a good pace for us, focusing more on the quality and info about the architecture and the works as opposed to rushing us through. Did a good job tying some of the themes together as well. Her English was excellent and we learned a lot about the history and art. Would definitely recommend her and this tour.

Exceptional tour guide

Anna was so knowledgeable as well as very professional. Her background in art history made this experience exceptional. She is very passionate about the art and it’s history. We would highly recommend Anna!

Great day at the museum

We went to the Rijksmuseum not knowing whet to expect or whet we wanted to see. We had our children, 16 and 11, with us. Neither of them is necessarily interested in Dutch history or art. However, Anna did an amazing job of keeping us all interested and engaged with a sense of humor, and we came away with a much better knowledge of and appreciation for both. I would recommend her for this or any other tour.

We enjoyed our time at...

We enjoyed our time at the Rijksmuseum with Anna as our guide. Anna is knowledgeable, warm, and so friendly. She took us through the highlights and gave us so much insights in to the artwork-we would have missed these details without her with us! Thank you to Anna for a lovely afternoon at the museum.
