Heavy dose of Rembrandt’s works with a strong focus on his paintings and the story behind the work. Daniels’s rendition of the historical perspective was outstanding.
Petra asa guide was nice and very professional. The museum is one of the best in the country. Recommended for all italian people.
excellent very informative great depth of knowledge of the subject . museum very crowded, the listening device excellent
Buen tour, muy interesante y Carlos lo ha explicado muy bien!
Tour started punctually. It was not difficult to find the meeting point. The use of the whisper system was useful, especially when the areas of the museum became crowded. Martina, our tour guide, gave a very interesting and informative explanation of the exhibits on the second floor on the Dutch Masters. She was well paced. The tour was definitely worth it. Wished it was possible to cover more.
This tour of the Rijks museum focused on art produced during the Dutch golden period, including works by Rembrandt and Vermeer. Our guide, Gosse, provided historical information that enhanced the experience and made each art work more meaningful. The two hours went by quickly because he kept us engaged the entire time. More importantly, it made me want to continue to learn more about this period, the art pieces and the artists. Highly recommend this tour. We saw one Van Gogh self portrait during this tour but also recommend visiting the Van Gogh museum nearby (separate ticket using audio guide) to see his other pieces and learn more about his life.
Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend using this tour service to give you a good orientation of the museum. The tour was about two or two and a half hours but then I stayed for another three hours. We had no disappoint only wonderful commentary about all the paintings we saw. A great museum day!
Daniel was a very enthusiastic guide, takes his time to explain the story of each painting and knowledgeable in the painters life story.
I absolutely loved this museum—it’s 100% worth taking your time to explore it calmly. It has many galleries, some for temporary exhibitions and others permanent, and every single one is worth it. The museum has several floors, so it’s a good idea to use the restroom before starting, since they’re only on the ground floor. They also have lockers; I stored my jacket and backpack there, which made walking around much more comfortable. Oh! There’s also a café where you can take a break. Don’t forget to ask for the audio guide—the artworks are beautiful, and the explanations are really helpful and well done.
The museum was fantastic, and the experience was really made by Gosse, our guide. He was super knowledgeable, eager to take questions and made the tour a real highlight!
