What your day looks like

Begin at Holland’s answer to the Louvre, called the Rijksmuseum. Explore Dutch history through a selection of over 8000 objects on display. We’ll discuss familiar names like Rembrandt as well as lesser-known items like 17th-century dollhouses. Understand the meaning behind Vermeer’s “The Milkmaid” and marvel at the expansive 19th-century library. At the end of the tour, you’ll have a good overview of the museum’s collection and you may even know how to pronounce its name correctly. After a break for lunch, move outdoors and orient yourself to Amsterdam with an introduction to its history and learn how a small 12th-century fishing village with a simple dam became one of the most popular capital cities in the world. Our guides will crisscross its iconic canals and bridges while peeking into its quiet courtyards, offering a postcard image of the city.
