Traveler reviews
A Must.
Very informative and deep. Great tour guide. Lots of anecdotal information and perspective in time and culture. Enthusiastic.
Great Tour
It was a very insightful tour. While we didn't see all of the museum (that would take days) our tour guide Anna showed us the most interesting displays of Art and explained much of the related periods of art and the artist, including some scandal!
Exceeded Expectations!
Eva, of Dutch Tours, guided us on our fabulous small group day tour of Kinderdijk and Delft; it was fantastic! Focusing on these two places which were critical in the history and culture of the Netherlands, without also cramming in a stop in Rotterdam, gave us time to appreciate snd absorb what we were experiencing. And Eva’s expert knowledge and charming personality (along with great driving skills in a very comfortable coach), made the tour EXACTLY what we wanted. It exceeded expectations. We will DEFINITELY be in touch with Dutch Tours when we plan a return trip!
Fabulous experience
The Rijksmuseum is large, so having an extremely knowledgeable guide made all the difference, even to a returnee! I’d been before on my own with an audioguide. Victoria’s personalized, small group tour was FAR BETTER! Her insights about the art and architecture, knowledge of Dutch history and culture, and welcoming presentation style made the experience fantastic.
Ewald is Exceptional
Our guided tour of the Rijksmuseum with Ewald was exceptional! His ability to weave art history, local history, and a few fun facts made our first visit to this Amsterdam museum an immersive adventure. Ewald helped us explore several fine paintings -- drawing out not only the techniques used by the artist but also the emotions depicted in the scenes.
