Fantastic review of Dutch art and history

This is an era and style of art I did not know much about, and I know without a guide the gems of this museum would be lost to me. Our tour with Jacopo opened up the world of Dutch Golden Era art and history to us, and made me appreciate everything the museum had to offer.

Best of Rijksmuseum

The Rijksmuseum is overwhelming in it's size and content and the best way to experience it is with a knowledgable guide such as Timm V. We had a delightful, educational, efficient tour with Timm who is a fountain of facts, history and stories that bring the museum's collection to life. She clearly loves the museum and it's significant collections. Highly recommend Timm V. for this tour and we were only sorry our stay didn't allow for more sightseeing with her. She should be your #1 pick for tours to experience the best of Amsterdam and the Netherlands.
