Martina was a terrific guide. Very knowledgeable and responsive. She explained thoroughly explained interesting fCts about the art and the artist.
Vita was exceptional. We loved the passion she puts into her knowledge of the Renaissance art and how it shaped the dutch culture. It makes a difference to have a guided tour.
Kawiki was an absolutely wonderful guide. Super knowledgeable and passionate about art. Talented and awesome life experiences to add to his learning of the art and the history of the museum. Grateful to have had him as our guide. Thank you!
Kawika was knowledgeable and engaging. He was on time, good for us because we had a tight schedule. He was able to answer all our questions, and knew so much about the artwork we saw.
Smooth experience. The guide was on time and we managed to see all of the museum in 1,5h. It was a pity that the library was closed. The guide also gave us great tips about Amsterdam and good stories.
Our guide was Kawika and he was amazing! We would’ve never managed to explore the entire museum without him in such a short time and taking in all the beautiful art.
Impressive tour guide, very engaging and fun, while impressive and stimulating paintings and sculptures. Would definitely recommend not to miss the Rijks when in Amsterdam.
I went with 2 friends and we had an amazing tour with Martina. She was friendly and insightful. Also got some great stories about Amsterdam in general.
Very clear and interesting visit throughout the museum. The guide shared many insights about the art as well as the town, would truly recommend it!
Great tour. Appreciated the vivid explanations of the tour guide. There’s a lot of Van Gogh art as well that is not in the Van Gogh itself!
Amazing guided tour in one the most beautiful museums ever! The guide was brilliant and we enjoyed every single moment of it! Truly recommended.
I was with my mom and we were lucky enough to be the only two people on the tour. Basically a private tour at a reasonable price. Our guide was Vita and she was great at getting us to all the rooms and not letting us miss anything.
Kawika was our guide and made us spend two very pleasant hours in the Rijksmuseum. Highly recommended for those who want to go beyond the simple visit. The stories behind the paintings are endless!
Giovanni we loved it. Having an Italian guide was a plus. We came out with a new awareness about the exceptional collection of the Rijks. I recommend it.
We were happy to have chosen a guided tour. Surely we would not have learned so much, our Vita guide was very informative and pleasant.
The guide was great at illustrating the story behind each painting. The weather was right and we came out with more knowledge.
