A wonderful live authoritative, and fascinating tour

With Martina. Just a superb, friendly, fully authoritative guide, the length of which could never be replicated by anything recorded. Superb.

The Golden Age

Yiwen was a thorough tour guide who provided information on the Golden Age in the Netherlands in relation to both art and culture. Totally enjoyable.

This is the first time I...

This is the first time I have arranged for a guided tour of a museum, and I am very glad I did. It was a great experience focusing on Dutch art and history. Wybe was a fantastic guide, and he was patient as he led a group of the six people through a very crowded museum. This is a very large museum, and we only were able to do the paintings on the second floor, but they were the main ones of the Dutch masters. One would have to spend a couple of extra days in this museum to see something of their vast collections. With a guide, we were able to see incredible details that we would have missed if only using a guidebook such as a sculpture of the building Architect high on the outside of the building, or where artists put themselves into certain paintings. Wybe brought the history of the Netherlands to life, from the room focusing on Naval history to the lives of the individuals in the portraits. Remember, in the absence of photography, if you had your Portrait made you must have been important so every painting has a story behind it. Highly recommended tour.

Great experience

Fantastic experience. I have been many times on my and felt overwhelmed by the shear volume of art. Robin was knowledgeable about the works and presented them in a manner that made the evolution of Dutch artists noticed. Highly recommend
