Rijksmuseum Guided Tour - With Reserved Entry

Explore the masterpieces of the Dutch Golden Age on this insightful 2-hour guided tour of the Rijksmuseum. Begin your experience by meeting your guide 15 minutes before the tour outside the Cobra Café at Museumplein—easily spotted with an orange umbrella. With skip-the-line access included, your small group will be led through the highlights of the museum, from Rembrandt’s dramatic Nightwatch to intricate still-life works and iconic Dutch interiors. Learn how the Netherlands' rise in trade and wealth sparked one of the most prolific art markets in history, all while admiring artifacts and artworks that tell the story of a prosperous new republic.

After the tour, feel free to continue exploring the museum at your own pace, as your ticket is valid all day. Whether you want to revisit a favorite gallery, shop for art-inspired souvenirs, or relax in the museum café, the choice is yours. Please note that access to special exhibitions is not always included, and large bags or umbrellas are not permitted inside. In some rooms with quiet policies, your guide will provide background before entry to ensure a smooth experience.
