Although Project Night Watch kept me from the painting I really came to see, I had a wonderful afternoon revisiting and learning from some of the masters. I wasn't really prepared for how struck I was by Whistler's arrangement in grey and yellow. Nor did I expect such a rush of joy as I got in front of Vermeers and Rembrandts. The acoustics in the central halls and stairways is atrociously horrible, but once I had a quiet moment in the magical library I was over it.

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.

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.

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.

Although Project Night Watch kept me from the painting I really came to see, I had a wonderful afternoon revisiting and learning from some of the masters. I wasn't really prepared for how struck I was by Whistler's arrangement in grey and yellow. Nor did I expect such a rush of joy as I got in front of Vermeers and Rembrandts. The acoustics in the central halls and stairways is atrociously horrible, but once I had a quiet moment in the magical library I was over it.

This tour was so fun and a MUST to do in Amsterdam. The staff all had great vibes and made sure to make it an exciting time for everyone. It's great to do with family or friends and it was such an engaging experience.

Nice array of paintings and various mediums but the museum was a bit confusing to navigate. Wish there were better signage and it was organized a bit better by artist. would definitely recommend getting a guided tour for this reason my sister was able to get a ticket but the rest were sold out.

The experience was less enjoyable for me because it was incomprehensible to me why the explanations were given only in English and not in Dutch. It all went much too fast and was difficult for me, a 1944-born Dutchman with a reasonable command of English, to follow. The indication of raw materials was also only in English. The only Dutch word spoken during the presentation was "PROOST."

Loved the games, photo points and the part where we became the beer. Was something I haven't experienced before. Loved the tasting part and that at the end we could choose what to drink twice. All the Heineken members either presenting, at the bar or at the entrance were super sweet and friendly! They elevated the experience even more.

excellent and the boat tour good too. The only note is the next tour we booked with you: Anne Frank story and walk tour.. making the story short... the tour does not included the Anne Frank House Museum... the ad is deceptive, and the meeting point address is a tattoo and nail salon, where the owner, maybe tired of the same, said here is not the tour business, they are in that bench in front of the park... Imagine my surprise...
