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.

It was a good idea to book the tickets on headout. No line, quick entrance to the museum. The Rijksmuseum is awesome. You really need time to see everything. Plan at least 4 hours and be aware of the fact that it closes quite early (5 p.m.). That really was the problem for us. We had another great museum before and couldn't see all we wanted.

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.

It was good, but could be more clear about the reservation of the cruise tour, since it's a combo ticket we were redirected to 2 places and the staff wasn't sure how we can book and use the ticket for the cruise.

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.
