Learned so much from our tour guide Cecilia! Her enthusiasm for art and knowledge of the collection was outstanding. So descriptive and gave us a lot of things to think about as we looked at the different art collections. Thank you Cecelia! We had a great time!
Monique_V, May 2026
Diana, our tour guide was fabulous. We enjoyed her enthusiasm and energy as she was so well versed in history around the Dutch Period painters. Her knowledge was
Impressive and since we have a great appreciation for art, this really resonated with us. I can’t give Diana any higher praises. Definitely worth your time.
Tucker_T, May 2026
Easily the best tour guide I've ever had. She will not only tell you how to read the art, but provides a story to go along with the overall tour. Highly recommend.
Sheila_Y, Apr 2026
Anna is a wonderful tour guide! Her knowledge of the Artists and her enthusiasm made our experience so amazing! We came back knowing so much more than when we started. Thank you, Anna for a wonderful day!
Lisa_P, Aug 2025
Our tour with Monique was great! Monique, is very passionate in sharing her knowledge and love for the artwork displayed in the museum. Her enthusiasm is infectious! You will leave with a greater appreciation and love of the beauty and history of artwork she shares with you!
Rory_V, Jul 2025
Wonderful tour with Cecilia. She kept the semi private tour group engaged and shared great insights. Would definitely recommend this tour, especially Cecilia, to anyone visiting Amsterdam!
Richard_F, Jun 2025
Anna was an absolute delight and made our Rijksmuseum tour one to remember! She somehow made centuries-old paintings feel fresh, funny, and fascinating. Her storytelling was top-notch, full of historical tidbits and observations. If you're headed to the Rijksmuseum, do yourself a favor and take Anna’s tour.
Ferruccio_D, Jun 2025
Our guide Tea had a great in-depth knowledge of art history and the development of changing art techniques related to the social climate of the times in Amsterdam.
DianandJesd_P, Jun 2025
Corolla gave a very informative tour that was also very interesting. Learned so much more than if I had done it on my own! Well worth the money.
Ciera_G, May 2025
Anna was very knowledgeable about took us on a tour of the behind the scenes style. I learned a lot and the time went by extremely fast! She was great.
Kelly_P, Apr 2025
My son was enthralled with the tour and oldest artwork and religious history (he’s 9). I was not so much, but the storytelling of the guide and explanation fo the art was quite good. Worth it even on the most crowded of days - rainy holiday Monday.
Diane_K, Dec 2024
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!
Richard_M, Sep 2024
The guide was excellent and imparted much knowledge that contributed greatly to our museum visit. The directions for guide meeting were a little unclear because their are two locations across the street from the entrance that look exactly the same. One is the museum gift shop which I assumed was the meeting place until I looked up the street and saw another building that matched the gift chop building.
Joy_M, Jun 2024
Anna really brought the Art to life. Her stories were rich and varied and she answered all our questions
Rick_L, May 2024
Anna made the tour fun and provided a unique perspective to art in general. I was fortunate to see her the following day at another tour and she graciously provided directions on what to see after the conclusion of that tour. I would ask for her again.
Christopher_M, Apr 2024
Our tour guide Anna was extremely knowledgable. She gave us so many excellent insights into several artists and their lives. The life story of Rembrandt who ended up in dire poverty was very informative. We would recommend Anna very highly.
Jade_B, Apr 2024
I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting the Rijksmuseum as it is a large museum and our tour group was a good size (<8 ppl). I learned a lot from Janet our tour guide.
Mileane_S, Mar 2024

RACHEL_B, Nov 2023
We had an lovely time on our guided tour through the Rijksmuseum with Janet. She was incredibly knowledgeable and sweet and made the experience very enjoyable. We got to learn so much about the art and cultural history of Amsterdam and the Netherlands. Highly recommend!

Monique from Babylon Tours was incredible for our semi-private tour of Riksmuseum (sp?). She was very professional, vivacious, and awesome. Can wait for an do-over at Van Gogh museium
John_B, Sep 2023
Anna provided a wonderful tour of the Rijksmuseum. Her knowledge of the artwork was excellent and her insights into the artists personal lives were fascinating. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Leigh_L, Sep 2023
Our guide Monique was incredible. Not only was she knowledgeable but she was so fun and animated. She made the art pieces come to life. The tour was well organized and a truly memorable experience.
Rebecca_M, Sep 2023
Anita was perfect, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend anyone to have this experience, if they want to understand the museum authentically with a deeper knowledge of the story behind the exhibits.
Valerie_K, Aug 2023
The tour guide was interesting but gave less information of specific artists/works and time periods than I was hoping for. I felt like the approach was just to point out key works. Only viewed works on the second floor. Had to tour first floor and other holdings on my own. I recommend doing the audio tour instead for a more comprehensive overview.
Sven_D, Jun 2023
Anna, our tour guide, gave us a very insightful tour that went beyond just telling us about the art. It was very fun to hear about the behind the scenes stuff around Rembrandt and the art on display. She brought the history to life with interesting information that we had never heard and answered all our questions.
Frederick_E, Apr 2023
Our host Massima thorough, knowledgeable
Our host also assisted us with solutions for another tour
The tour began on time and our host provided am brief introduction to the tour
Irene_J, Apr 2023
We really enjoyed Anna's tour, she provided pertinent information about the art pieces, the museum, the historical perspective, but also made it relevant by humanizing the art and the artist, which made the experience both more interesting and relatable. She was fabulous!
Mark_B, Nov 2022
Great tour! Anna was very insightful and showed us things we never would have seen on our own. Well worth it if you only have time to see the highlights.
Karen_G, Oct 2022
The museum is huge and we wouldn’t have known how to tackle all of the amazing art. Our guide had a wonderful plan and we learned and enjoyed a lot!
Will_W, Jul 2022
Anna was amazing! She has the knowledge and the passion for this subject! She’s not a child reciting a script. Ask for her!
