Overview

Enjoy a private tour of the Rijksmuseum with an art historian as your guide. Skip the line and dive deep into the works of the Dutch 17th-century masters. Discover Rembrandt's phenomenal brushstrokes, step into Vermeer's intimate scenes, and say hi to Frans Hals' smiling figures.

Gain a solid understanding of why Dutch art was flourishing in the 17th century and how Amsterdam became such a liberal city. But, it's not only the 17th century that you will discover. Van Gogh went to the opening of the Rijksmuseum in 1885.

He was waiting for his friend, in the meantime he made a sketch of Amsterdam in oil paint. That day he went to the Rijksmuseum, left his bag with the painting in the wardrobe. Now 150 years later, the painting is back and on view!

    City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
