Sylvia tour guide was magniicent. So enthusiastic about the art she was detailing, it made the tour so much more inormative and fun!! Beutiful museum, antastic tour.
I was amazed by the knowledge and explanations of the guide Natalia....She made the entire experience come alive in a memorizing manner. Superb. We want to go back!
I really liked not having to deal with the ticketing, our guide handled all of that with the museum. Our guide, Kawiheh, was really great, and his English commentary was exceptional. He explained things about the paintings that I would never have noticed or appreciated. While we did not see every single thing in the museum, I feel like I got an excellent summary in the 2 hours of the tour. Everything was well organized and efficient. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
The guide was knowledgable, entertaining and a good story teller. He would inform us facts and then ask us later when it became relevant. A very enjoyable experience.
Yes but short because we had to leave early to get our transfer to our river cruise ship. We will need to come back to see everything.
Our guide was incredible and taught us so much about Dutch art and cults in a playful way, it was a wonderful tour (now I've unfortunately forgotten the name :-(). Highly recommended!!!

The guide through the museum was a student who led us through the enormous crowds of visitors with vision and great expertise. She showed and explained important works to us in a good, competent and professional manner.

It was a wonderful experience. The guide was smart with a lot of knowledge and patience. We enjoyed it very much.
I had to cancel when our River Cruise had to change because of the low water on the Rhine. I called as soon as I found out we couldn't make our ticket time and was told I was too late to cancel. Not much was offered. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!
Love this museum! Our guide was knowledgeable and did an excellent job. The audio glitches were unfortunate but not his fault. It was borderline infuriating that we missed 20 minutes of our tour because we had to wait so long for the elevator...and we missed several attempts because when a group including a stroller or carriage came out, the door closed so quickly we weren't able to get in with our wheelchair. In typical Dutch fashion, far too many obviously able-bodied folks got in quickly and the door closed.
The guide's knowledge on the arts was impressive. Enjoyed every minute of it. If you have an arts background I would highly recommend Martina's as a guide.
Our guide chose one particualr period to focus on, which was an excellent approach, in my view, as this included Rembrandt and Vermeer and their contemporaries. Our guide was entusisastic and highly knowedgeable and offered insights which were really interesting and relevant. The two hours passed very quickly and despite the numbers looking at the more famous paintings, we were able to enjoy these masters. It really was a memorable visit and one my son and I are unlikely to forget.
The guided tour through the museum with Martina was very informative. We learned many interesting facts about the artists and the creation of the art objects

Easy to book. Must-do cruise (very happy to have booked in advance as it was very sunny and there would have been a big queue if we had booked on the day). Moco: interesting collection, again very busy so glad to have tickets booked.

Visiting the Moco Museum in Amsterdam was an incredible experience! The collection of contemporary and street art was truly inspiring, featuring works from iconic artists like Banksy and Basquiat. The museum itself had a vibrant and immersive atmosphere, making it a perfect place for art lovers and those looking for something unique in the city. The exhibits were well-curated, offering a mix of thought-provoking pieces and interactive displays. The Hour Canal Cruise in Amsterdam was an unforgettable experience! Gliding through the beautiful canals, surrounded by historic architecture and charming bridges, was both relaxing and breathtaking. The boat was comfortable, and the audio guide provided insightful commentary about the city's rich history and iconic landmarks.
Everything perfect, no problem, tickets on the mobile, no queues ...

Rembrandt house is magnificient, great experience
Felt like we stepped in to Rembrandt's life....such a beautiful house and a sad story about an amazing talent. Learned a lot about life in the day. The etching process exhibit was surprisingly interesting too.
What a great place to visit and learn about Rembrandt . Very interesting and it was not too crowded
Good audio tour with short bursts that kept your interest.
It was easy to book and the app explaining the pieces was a fabulous idea.
I was able to enter the museum without having to wait and I really enjoyed both the building and the large number of fantastic exhibits and works of art. The library, the works by Vermeer and the special exhibition were my highlights. The cafeteria and store are also first class. An all-round successful museum in which I spent a full 6 hours and will be happy to return.
