Both the Rijksmuseum and the Lights Festival boat tour was a great experience for my first time in Amsterdam! Museum staff and service was exceptional, they allowed us to enter outside of the booked window time after we explained to them our situation and cause of delayed arrival. The boat tour was lovely, great guide who was very friendly and got to see the great art pieces a part of the festival. The hot chocolate was perfect for us in the windowless boat, since it was cold.

I couldn't see so much for the entire tour, always tried to lift my head over the boat or squeeze into other people's open windows. The guide was funny and engaging- her voice tone was a bit too higher for my standards but for one hour is manageable :)

The house is stunning, and the urban art really resonated with me. Seeing works by Banksy and KAWS was incredible, and the immersive Studio Irma installation made the experience truly magical.

    Robbie Williams was an unexpected highlight. Thought his are was poignant and humorous. The very small Basquiat exhibition was disappointing as I thought it would/should have been bigger.
