The key to the success of this tour was the tour guide, Monique! Her knowledge, enthusiasm for the artists, paintings and history and ability to get our small group up close to the artworks really made this tour one not to miss - even if you only have a passing interest in art.

One of the highlights of our short time in Amsterdam thanks to Victoria, our tour guide! Her knowledge and love of art was amazing and contagious. We learned so much in this one afternoon. Yes, we were exhaused but extremely happy we did both museums in one day. Thank You Victoria!

Tour guide was amazing and knowledgeable. There are no words for the experience of seeing Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh up close and personal. If you have time split the tours into two days and go in the morning to avoid crowds.

Excellent guide, Jojse, was very knowledgeable and provided historical perspective to the museum and the art that was displayed. Our tours of the Riksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum were excellent. Would highly recommend.
