Worth every penny - The tour was well worth the added expense. Our tour guide, Anita Liemburg, was excellent, and provided information that was well beyond what we would’ve gotten without her expertise.

A terrific visit - highly recommend! - We had the pleasure of visiting the museum with Clare - what a joy. She made the works come alive and kept it fun and informative. It’s so easy to become saturated and for everything to become a blur without a guide, but Clare made it personal with stories and background information that we would have never known. A splendid way to immerse ourselves in a sampling of the most intriguing variety of works from a the golden era of Dutch painting, as well as an introduction to collections on naval history, ceramics, cabinetry and decorative arts. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed the Rijksmuseum with Cecilia - We really enjoyed our tour with Cecilia! We were very jet lagged and her enthusiasm and good nature helped to energize us for the wonderful things we saw. I would recommend her strongly for this tour! She was right on time and easy to find.
