The Journey

Rijksmuseum

Delve into the heart of Dutch history and art at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam's iconic museum, often referred to as Holland's Louvre. Home to a breathtaking collection of over 8,000 objects, the museum narrates the story of the Netherlands from the Middle Ages to the present day. Marvel at masterpieces by Dutch Masters like Rembrandt's 'The Night Watch' and Vermeer's intimate 'The Milkmaid,' gaining insight into the Golden Age's artistic brilliance. Beyond the famed paintings, uncover hidden gems like meticulously crafted 17th-century dollhouses and explore a stunning 19th-century library, a treasure trove of untold stories. More than just a museum, the Rijksmuseum offers an immersive experience, allowing you to connect with Dutch culture on a profound level. A visit promises not only a feast for the eyes but also a deeper understanding of the nation's rich heritage.

Know Before You Go

This tour includes a personal tour guide (unless you choose the semi-private option), wheelchair accessibility (also not applicable for the semi-private option), a 2.5-hour guided museum tour, and all entrance fees. Not included are hotel pickup or drop-off services; Uber or taxis are recommended. Gratuities for the guide are also not included but are optional.

Hot Tip

Many people like to stay in the museum after the tour to look at everything else. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time so you can see everything you want!

Review Summary

Customers generally say that expert guides like Ewald, Cecilia, Anna, and Martina bring the museum to life through engaging storytelling and deep knowledge of Dutch Golden Age art, making the experience far more enriching than a self-guided visit. Visitors consistently praise how guides point out painting details and artistic context they would have missed alone, with many calling it one of the best activities of their trip. Reviewers particularly appreciate the small group setting, knowledgeable commentary about masterpieces like 'The Night Watch,' and guides' ability to manage crowds while keeping everyone comfortable and engaged. A minor logistical issue occasionally mentioned is unclear directions to the meeting point, as there are multiple buildings near the museum entrance that look similar.
