Experience Amsterdam Rijksmuseum with an Entertaining Art Historian

Experience the Rijksmuseum with an entertaining art historian. It’s easy to get lost or bored in such a big museum, but not with an experienced local guide!
Duration 2 hours
Private tour available in English, Dutch, German
Group tour pricing from 140 EUR per person
If you want to visit the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum and come away with a rewarding experience, I highly recommend Karolina. We only had one day to see both. She showed us all the highlights and provided just the right amount of in-depth details without information overload. We are not art buffs but we felt like ones after the tour. Then she took us for a lovely hands-on street tour of some of the Amsterdam neighborhoods. Very knowledgeable, great personality, and a real pro. Thanks Karolina.

Highlights

See Rembrandt’s The Night Watch painting

See Vermeer’s Milkmaid painting

Admire 17th-century masterpieces in the Gallery of Honour

Description

Rembrandt, Vermeer, Hals and Steen. See the highlights of the collection in an inspiring way.

Just like any other national museum, the Rijksmuseum is too big. It would take a week to see everything. Join me and avoid tiredness, frustration and irritation!

A tour with a qualified art historian who knows her way through the collection is a much more interesting experience.

Very good tour and helpful guide
Karla arranged getting our tickets and met us at the Rijksmuseum for a 2 hour overview tour. All worked smoothly. Karla has an excellent background/education and was very clear and articulate in discussing the art, history and architecture of the museum. She also started in the ship section of the museum which was fascinating and area we likely would have not spent time on ourselves. She was quite helpful at the end of the tour and gave us suggestions for the rest of our stay in Amsterdam. I highly recommend taking an overview tour like this as the museum is large and can be overwhelming!
The Dutch Masters with a Master!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Karla. Her approach to our tour of the Rijksmusuem was unique, personal and illuminating. So many interesting details shared with warmth and charm. Our appreciation of the Masters has increased immensely. Be sure to ask for Karla!!
