Excelente experiencia en un tour privado en donde los visitantes se educan mucho mejor que en otros tours con muchas personas. El guía se dedica a los pocos turistas lo que hace de la experiencia una enriquecedora y con mayor conocimiento. Se incluye un paseo en ferry por el famoso puerto de Rotterdam que ejemplifica lo inmenso del mismo. Nuestro guia Jan nos educó sobre todos los asuntos importantes de los lugares visitados y demostró ser un conocedor de alta calidad.

The museum needs about a couple of hours to view. It doesn’t have a large collection but has some very famous pieces of art. Good to have the audio guide downloaded. Go earlier as it gets pretty crowded.

Staff at the Mauritshuis were wonderful, they imparted interesting information about the paintings and were very helpful yet not intrusive.

Enjoyed this visit so very much, it was on my bucket list and met my expectations!!! Thank you so much for a wonderful exhibition.

Enjoyed the route, guide and foremost the timetable.
