It isn’t every day that you get to walk in the footsteps of a 17th century Dutch master! Enjoy an in-depth look into the world of Rembrandt with one of our private guides, as you explore the very streets where he lived and worked.
Your tour will start with a walk through Spiegelquarter, known for its diverse collection of antiques and crafts, before you stroll over the Keizersgracht (also known as the Emperor’s Canal) and discuss one of Rembrandt’s most successful apprentices. In Rembrandt Square, you’ll learn about the Night Watch guards, featured in one of his most celebrated works, and here recreated as bronze sculptures. In Staalstraat, you’ll hear about the local Drapers’ Guild, immortalized by Rembrandt in one of his most famous paintings, and in Waterloo Square, you’ll discover the former Jewish quarter, where Rembrandt and his wife lived for many years. You’ll end the tour at Rembrandt’s house, now a museum, where you’ll be able to see his etchings and personal art collection, authentic furnishings from the 1600s and the office where he produced much of his work. By the end of the tour, you’ll have a deeper understanding of this remarkable artist’s life.
Highlights Include:
The Emperor’s Canal, one of the city’s three major canals
Spiegelquarter, a must-see for lovers of artistic curiosities and antiques
The Night Watch, a bronze-cast representation of one of Rembrandt’s most famous paintings Rembrandt House Museum, where the artist lived and worked for decades
Our guide Paola was just wonderful, she is VERY knowledgeable but patient with those of us who are not.
We had a Fantastic tour. Our guide, Eve, was knowledgable and personable and pitched the tour well to our interests. We had a fabulous day!
I have been on many tours and thought that this was one of the best. Salena was very knowledgable, personal and interesting. Had a really great time.
Our guide was an art history major. She gave very intimate descriptions of the motivation and background of the artist as well as the influence each painter had on the work of others and vice versa. There was a focus to her guided tour that I found helpful to keep the stories and the art and artists in my mind as a picture map. Well worth the money.
The art was great...the museum amazing...our guide Paola just wonderful! I think my wife and I will remember meeting Paola as much as the art. Her knowledge of the museum and its exhibitions was unbeatable. Our two hour tour just flew by. We can't thank her enough for being such a fabulous host. Book the tour, you won't regret a single second :)
