Great tour especially if short on time - Fabulous tour of the highlights of Rijksmuseum with Emanuel. His passion and knowledge made visiting this very large museum in a relatively short time a great experience. He showed us the must sees plus a few lesser known favourites of his and made for a great visit which could have been overwhelming and with far less achieved on our own. We were the only people on our tour which was a bonus as it could also be tailored to our interests. Thanks Emanuel for a great experience. Definitely recommend.

The only way to go is with a guide! - Hard to imagine walking through this museum without a guide! We learned so much from the architecture of the museum itself (in particular an in depth explanation of the Great Hall). Then the art....so much insight into the meaning and purpose of the masterpieces on display. We were a small group (4 of us), so the opportunity to ask questions about virtually anything we saw was priceless.

Short and Sweet - This was a very short (and therefore perfect for us) tour of the high points of the Rijksmuseum. Our tour guide made sure we saw a lovely sampling including the featured pieces from the collection and he did give us quite a bit of information about the art as well. My husband and I are not great art aficionados but we enjoyed what we saw. There is time to look around on your own after the tour.

Informative, entertaining, not overwhelming and not too long - Dan took us on the 11:30 guided tour on July 5th; a good sampling of art, we learned a great deal about the Masters in a delightful way. Length of tour was just right…We recommend him.

The Rijks Museum - Dean was the best! We had the most enjoyable tour of the Rijks Museum! Extremely knowledgeable about the architecture and the artists. If we had tried to do this on our own…it would have been overwhelming. We all agreed we probably would have come away exhausted and frustrated! Instead we felt amazed and enlightened and in awe! Thank you!!
