Dutch Art Unveiled: Semi-Private Rijksmuseum Guided Tour with Reserved Entry

Terry S

This two hour tour was great! Our tour guide was well informed and an American so language was not a barrier. She gave lots of insight to the art and artists. You don't have to wait in line and can stay in the museum after the tour to see more of the collection. They have a fun gift shop but I would skip the restaurant. Expensive, long line and food is just okay.

Loved having a private tour. Our group was only 6 people or so. The guide told us such interesting facts about paintings that gave me so much more excitement looking at paintings than I had before. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to go but, like me, doesn't know what to look for in art.

FrankK

Our guide was wonderful! She gave us a brief history of the museum which was very interesting. We looked at quite a few paintings and she pointed out the details, explained the painter's style and compared the artist to others in that time period. When the tour was over she also emailed us our tickets which allowed us to stay in the museum or come back later that same day! We would highly recommend this tour!

MICHAEL D

Our small group tour turned out to be a private one. The young woman that accompanied us through the museum was extremely knowledgeable, very informative and had a lovely personality!!! Absolutely made our trip! Can't wait to book another tour through Viator!

AnnaB

Very much enjoyed the museum and the private tour. We lucked out and it was only us on the tour. Had a great time with Victoria and got more from the museum than we would have on our own

Mason S

Viki; our tour guide was legendary. We were in constant awe of her knowledge of the art as well as the museum itself. Request Viki if you are planning a Babylon tour. PS- she also gave us incredible recommendations for nightlife and restaurants. Live Jazz and exciting venues. Best Regards- TOM and MASON

Excellent

CATHERINE

It was a wonderful experience. There is no way we would have maximized our time in the museum without the guide.

David B

Victoria our tour guide was excellent. Her passion for the amazing art was contagious. So thankful we had her along. She pointed out little details that we would have simply not noticed.

Ronald J

Tea was a wonderful guide - we were delighted with the tour and would recommend her highly! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the Dutch masters and gave us an entirely new appreciation for the styles and skills of the painters. We could not have been more pleased with our experience.

Leland Conner

excellent knowledgeable guide. we booked a group tour but wound up being the only couple with our guide.

Edna Weber

Our guide was Giussepina. She is excellent; well informed, interested in her subject, and fun to spend time with. We are very happy for the experience. Thank you

Margaret Gates

Our guide was an art history major. She gave very intimate descriptions of the motivation and background of the artist as well as the influence each painter had on the work of others and vice versa. There was a focus to her guided tour that I found helpful to keep the stories and the art and artists in my mind as a picture map. Well worth the money.

Victor Branch

Very awesome and informative tour! We loved it! Audrey, our guide, was very personable, and knowledgeable! We would definitely recommended the guided tour of Riksmuseum.

Cecilia Waller

Melissa conducted a great tour. She was able to incorporate the history and culture of Holland with items in the museum. She paid special attention the paintings my Rembrandt and Vermeer. Great tour. Thanks

Delia Patel

Fabulous guide, didn’t lose out interest for over two hours. He is a true Rembrandt scholar, extremely well versed and had a great sense of humor.

Ericka Mclaughlin

2.5+ hours well spent. Not only was our guide Victoria knowledgeable about art, but also the history of The Netherlands and the social and cultural issues of the time. It was very apparent that Victoria enjoyed sharing her knowledge with us.

Jim Lyons

Josephine was excellent. So knowledgeable. Added to our enjoyment of the Museum. We did skip the line, not necessary today.

Robin Mitchell

Selina was a fabulous guide who brought the paintings alive by initially taking us to see items of glass and porcelain - an area of the museum that we would never have thought of visiting. Its always a relief to be shown around a museum by someone who knows exactly where to go to see the highlights without the crowds - and then really explains what we are seeing and asks us to really look at the pictures and look beyond the obvious - 2.5hrs of wonderful art history. Thank you!

Rene Bowen

My husband, another couple and I enjoyed a 6+ hour tour today with Victoria, our guide, along with 4 other people. It was well worth the cost to avoid the incredibly long lines and to have an extremely knowledgeable guide explain the history and background behind the works of art we saw. These 2 museums are not to be missed and we felt that having an art history major who was passionate about her subject matter made it entirely worthwhile. We would advise anyone to splurge on this tour if you’re at all interested in getting the most out of your time at these two gems of museums.

Chase Duncan

Our guide, Tea, was so full of knowledge of the artists, art work, culture, and community. I never would have learned this much without her insight. Was a wonderful day and a highlight of my entire Amsterdam trip!

Mae Jacobs

Tour guide Victoria did an excellent job leading us through this wonderful museum. Her knowledge base is deep, and she provides the information in an insightful and intriguing manner. You will be fascinated with the the tour and the art, no matter what your level of art expertise is. Doing a tour of the museum with a small group led by a guide is well worth the cost. Highly recommended.

Jayme Reynolds

Tanisha Cisneros

I would recommend this tour to anyone that will listen. Our guide was knowledgeable, passionate about her job, and very informative. We really enjoyed our visit and learned so much more than we ever have could on our own.

Tommie Zimmerman

Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Victoria was really good and fun to be with. She was very knowing of art and quality of the paintings. She showed how some pieces were nearly flawless and how some were not perfect. Much historical background was provided. We also visited the basement rooms and saw the many model ships, old guns, and relevant items. All of this was in amazing condition.

Sheri Gray

Very helpful to better understand the important paintings we saw, especially Rembrandt. Then we had the rest of the day in the museum to see more of its collections.

Percy Haney

Audrey was very pleasant, punctual and added a great deal of interest to our trip through the Rijksmuseum by providing helpful historical and artistic knowledge to the paintings we viewed. Would highly recommend.

Greg Richard

This was a small group of 8 people. Audrey, our guide, was excellent and spent over 2 1/2 hours showing us around and informing us about the artwork we were seeing. Excellent and highly recommend!

Kasey Farmer

This was a great tour largely because Paola, our guide, who gave us great insight into the historical background of the paintings and the techniques used by the painters whose art we examined.

Johnnie Rios

We enjoyed a most informative tour of the Rijksmuseum followed by a walking tour of key sites in the city. Our highly qualified guide Henk was a mine of information and was able to answer all our queries with professionalism. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Recommended.

Morgan Hudson

Victoria gave us a fabulous tour!! The museum is organized chronologically for the most part, which makes it really interesting.

Jennifer Neal

I had scheduled a private tour and had to make a change to a semi-private one because our guide got sick. At first, I was not pleased and worried that the experience would not be what I had hoped. Thankfully, it was great. The guide, Victoria, was terrific! The museum is also simply wonderful.

Deann Giles

Instructions on our meeting point were easy to follow and our guide, Audrey, arrived in plenty of time to greet us. She spoke excellent English (she is originally from USA) and was professional and knowledgable. Our tour was with 6 others (8 total) and took us in chronological order through the Rejksmuseum, so it brought the history of Amsterdam to like through the artwork. We enjoyed it greatly.

Gayle Singh

Victoria exceeded our expectations. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about everything. Answered all our questions and was lovely to be with

Kory Olson

Very good tour. our focus was on 17th century artists such as Vermeer and Rembrandt

Ramon Kaiser

It was a good way to learn about the items in the museum.

Nora Warren

It was a wonderful experience. There is no way we would have maximized our time in the museum without the guide.

Asa Simon

The museum is amazing. However, be sure when you book your tour that you receive your entry tickets from the tour guide. She did not give us the tickets. To get a snack or even use the restroom required leaving the ticketed area and so we could not get back in even with our voucher for the tour. I really would have loved to spend more time after the tour going through the museum. Also our guide was very soft spoken and hard to hear. Not very engaging.

Quinn Melendez

The tour was well organized, started on time, the guide was very good and the bus was clean. Good to take this tour if you want a bird's eye view f Amsterdam. Highly Recommended.

Latonya Lopez

Selina was a wonderful guide to an amazing museum. She did a great job curating the history and the art. I highly recommend.

Kevin Hall

Eve was a wonderful guide and brought the art, the history, and the culture together for our family.The tour of the Rijksmuseum was valuable and I think we got a much better appreciation of the art having a guide give us context!

Rubin Lopez

Outstanding guide and tour . We learned a lot and enjoyed the guide’s explanations. Highly recommend.

Marilyn Blake

Angelo led us through the Rijksmuseum, Rembrandt's home and the streets of the city. His knowledge could not have been better and we learned so much about the history, art and culture of Holland. We had a great day in Amsterdam.

Aimee Booth

We were a group of only three and had a great time. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed, as I often can at galleries or museums, and learned a lot. We saw all that we’d hoped to and Audrey is so knowledgeable. She has a gentle manner, and we all loved spending the morning with her. Thanks Audrey!

Noelle Prince

We had a Fantastic tour. Our guide, Eve, was knowledgable and personable and pitched the tour well to our interests. We had a fabulous day!

Mayra Braun

While the small group tour is expensive, Angelo made it well more than worthwhile. His base of knowledge in the art field was outstanding! He overextended himself by providing a great amount of background information, supported by extensive pictures on his iPad, about various artists and their individual works. He easily handled questions from several guests who had a great deal of knowledge about various art ages. artists and there relation with each other. We highly recomend this tour. Be prepared to be overwhelmed.

Shelby Rios

It was only my spouse and I and it could not have been better. Victoria knew what she was talking about and knew how to draw us into the art; how to let us see the small things your brain processes on auto pilot, turning them into the Big things that *make* a piece. She knew the history of the city and the artists. We will be lucky to get another guide like her, but she is why we will most likely book more private tours.

Stephan Davila

So worth doing. We are a family of four and were the only ones on the tour with Ilaria. She was a great guide and explained the background and context of paintings and artists that was memorable and really brought the paintings alive.

Edgar Quinn

Great paintings and knowledge from our guide. His in-site helped to bring the paintings alive. The time went too quickly. We would be happy, and look forward to another tour with him at this museum or another.

Tanner Tapia

Our guide Victoria was extremely knowledgeable and spent a great deal of time sharing that knowledge with our small group of four. She was very enthusiastic about not only the items but also background about the artists and Dutch culture. Very informative and fun.

Bert Rice

o stars, guide did not show, I had to buy a ticket and tour the museum on my own. Very disappointed in aviator! I was only 10min late…
