I loved the history that was presented with the paintings. It gave me a deeper appreciation for what the artists were depicting- from family life to outdoor life all those years ago in that part of the world. Plus, I was exposed to artists I hadn't heard of before. Really wonderful artists. But honestly, one of the most special moments for me was the Rembrandt painting which depicted a husband and wife, who was wearing a red dress. It was a tender and beautiful painting. I especially wanted to see it because I believe that this painting was the one that Van Gogh stood in front of for a very long time as noted by observers who saw him there. I stood in front of it too, though probably not for as long as he did. Anyway, it was a lovely experience.

A huge museum, with an equally huge selection of paintings ranging from van Gogh to Rembrandt! The same goes for the exhibition of ship models and porcelain! The only minor drawback: the descriptions of the paintings in the online guide were a bit sparse and lacking! The descriptions—and the number of them—could definitely be more detailed and more numerous!

Really enjoyed the cruise, it was beatiful and both the host and the skipper were wonderful, they were funny and interesting. Only thing is - please make it clearer how to order the drinks included, because I came to the cruise under the impression that I will be served drinks and such only to find out that I needed to pay for everything at the bar. Could be my fault for not reading between the lines, but thats the only downside basically.

Blend art and leisure with this combo that includes timed access to the Rijksmuseum and a luxury 60-min open boat cruise through the canals of Amsterdam.

Could you ever leave Amsterdam without visiting the magnificent museums that define this city full of life, freedom, and culture? Our travel itinerary already included tickets to the Van Gogh Museum, but not to the Rijksmuseum—which we were able to book on our own very easily through Headout

The Rijksmuseum was great, even without a guide. The canal cruise was a bummer because I didn't know I had to go to the ticket office first to have my tickets—which I'd bought through Head-Out—scanned. Other than that, everything was fine!
