Very informative
H6756FAjennyc, Aug 2025
Wonderfully informative tour with Diana! It even began outside of the Rijksmuseum, pointing out the security feature under the ceiling where the “Nightwatch” would drop should it come under any risk! It was also quite a treat to see the conservationists at work on “Nightwatch” even if we couldn’t see the real painting up close. Loved all the details she highlighted in Rembrandt’s and Vermeer’s work, plus the cultural and historical context. I am also grateful for her carrying my water bottle since we were made to put our gear in lockers!
Great Tour!

Anna N. was our guide and she provided an excellent "highlights" tour of the Van Gogh Museum & Rjikesmuseum . She was extremely knowledgable, with great background stories about all the artwork we viewed. I highly recommend this tour!
