Rijksmuseum Guided Tour – With Reserved Entry

During this 120 minute art tour, through the permanent collection in the Rijksmuseum, you will explore how artists like Rembrandt and Frans Hals captured the incredible expansion of the Dutch Golden Age. See the people, objects, and the painting.

Description

Meet your guide 15 minutes before the start of the 120 minute tour, outside the Cobra Cafe at Museumplein, by the parking/toilet entrance of the cafe. Your guide will be holding an orange umbrella so it is easy to identify! Entrance into the Rijksmuseum is included in your tour, and the guide will have your tickets ready for you.

Once inside the museum, you and your small group will explore the highlights of the Dutch Golden Age, exploring the art and objects that defined the new Dutch Republic. Be amazed by the illusionism of the still-life and interiors paintings, be inspired by the scale of Rembrandt’s ‘The Nightwatch’, and see the dollhouse of every young child’s dreams. Along the way, your professional guide will explain the social and historical context that gave rise to one of the biggest middle class art markets the world had ever seen. After the tour, you are welcome to continue to explore the rest of some of the 8,000 works on display as your ticket is valid all day. Or maybe you want to relax in the cafe or the museum shop.

Please note that the special exhibitions are not always included. No large bags, suitcases, or umbrellas are allowed inside the museum, only handbags or small thin backpacks are allowed inside. For the enjoyment of all the visitors in the museum, some specific rooms inside the museum are subjected to a very quiet or restricted right to speak inside, in this case your guide will provide information about these places before entering the specific rooms where this rule applies.

Edwin was so informative. This was a great way to learn about the very sobering history of the county during the Holocaust. Nice to be on foot and take it all in.

Many thanks to Edwin Duarte for the most exceptional tour of the short life of Ann Frank. We learned so much more of the history of Amsterdam and the tragic story of the Jewish peoples. A must do tour!

​Mit Amy auf Anne Franks Spuren: Ein absolutes Highlight unserer Reise! Wir durften zu zweit an einer ganz tolle Führung von Amy teilnehmen. Sie hat uns ganz viel Wissenwertes und Spannedes über Anne, ihre Familie und Bekannte erzählt, Orte gezeigt und uns durch die Stadt geführt. Die 2 Stunden vergingen wie im Flug. Amy hat die Führung spannend gestaltet, durch ihre Fragen an uns hat sie uns zum mitdenken animiert. Wir durften viel neues lernen und sind wirklich begeistert von der schönen Tour. Außerdem hat sie uns eine Übersicht mitgegeben mit ihren Favoriereten, Museen und spannendes was man in Amsterdam erleben kann das ist super cool für uns als Touristen. Viele vielen Dank! Laura & Sabine

WALKING TOUR IN AMSTERDAM Amazing tour with lots of history and significance. Our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable (Ollie) and also took the time to select his favorite passages from Anne Frank’s diary. He was able to answer questions on the spot and was great at keeping our group together.

Excellent and informative tour of the Van Gogh museum My guide was Petra, she was waiting at the meeting site when I arrived 15 minutes early, introduced herself and we chatted while we waited for one more person who ended up meeting us inside the museum. Petra was very professional yet made the tour very personal with her passion for the art and Van Gogh. Her explanations were thorough with loads of background info too. I’m so glad I booked this tour and I would highly recommend it
