The tour will end at the Rijksmuseum, where I will give you a guided visit to the ‘Gallery of Honor’, with works from the 17th century Dutch masters.
Along the way, we can visit two more museums, for instance:

  1. Our Dear Lord in the Attic, a formerly hidden Catholic Church in the middle of the Red-Light district.
  2. The Canal Museum, with a beautiful animation of how the canals were built in the 17th century.
  3. The Willet-Holthuysen House, a beautiful 19th century city-villa.
  4. The Anne Frank house. (Book at least 7 weeks in advance!)
    Just let me know what you prefer, and I am sure we will have a very entertaining and interesting day in Amsterdam
