Best way to discover a museum - We had a great tour with Daan. He showed us the Rijksmuseum with a lot of details, personal touch and easy access even for us who normally are not so into art and history. We really enjoyed it thanks to his tour.

The best way to end the year!!! - Visiting the Rijksmuseum with Daan Mens as our guide was an unforgettable experience! The tour was incredibly informative and engaging, and I genuinely cannot imagine exploring the museum without his expert guidance.
Daan is a local with an impressive depth of knowledge about Dutch art, history, and culture. His storytelling brings the works of Rembrandt, Vermeer, and other masters to life in ways that a casual visit simply can’t. He shared fascinating insights and anecdotes that you’d never get from just reading the plaques or an audio guide.
His passion for the subject matter is infectious, and he has a natural talent for making even complex topics accessible and interesting. The experience was not only educational but also fun and dynamic, leaving me with a newfound appreciation for the masterpieces housed in the Rijksmuseum.
If you’re planning to visit the museum, I wholeheartedly recommend booking a tour with Daan. It’s an investment that will elevate your visit to a whole new level. Five stars without hesitation!

Great way to see highlights - This was a very good way to see some of the best highlights of the museum. We only had enough time for some parts of the museum and Selma was very good in guiding us through the different exhibits and providing very interesting historical information and artistic insights.
From my middle-schooler who was with us: The tour was amazing! I really enjoyed learning about the backstories of all the paintings and statues. I am so glad I went on this tour because it really helped me gain such an incredible insight and deep understanding of art. I highly recommend this tour.

Selma enhanced our visit. - Selma was a great guide. She knew her stuff about each painting, but that we expected. What made our time with her even better was the background details she provided about the building and the history and more! The semi-private was great as well. We had just our group- 2 couples and we were able to ask so many questions. We had a lovely time in the museum.

Solid tour for art amateurs - Great tour from Daan who helped us with a 90 minute tour. Focused on the main gallery with Vermeer and Rembrandt and learned a lot of the back story to some of the Dutch masters. Museum was very busy but it was the holidays!

Bad client service - The communication about a change in meeting place was thru WhatsApp but it did not come through until late. The guide did not pick up phone despite multiple calls. We missed the tour and ended up booking our tickets on our own
Staff at the museum told us this was standard poor quality by Viator. Yhey also outlined that Viator overcharged significanty
Book this thru museum website. You will save money and the free audio tour is superb. Avoid Viator unless you like bad service and overpriced tours

Never use this company. - Our tour guide did not show up on time. Not having my phone we contacted them upon our arrival back home. Viator will not refund the money. I will let others know to NEVER use this company!
