During the tour, your personal guide explains everything you want to know about the mystical world of diamonds. He or she will tell you about the origins of the diamonds and the process a diamond goes through. This diamond process takes millions of years. Learn how to evaluate a diamond with the 4 C's (carat, cut, clarity, color) of diamond valuation. There is so much more to know and appreciate about a diamond than just the sparkle. You will be surprised.

Besides seeing amazing diamond jewelry and Europe's largest collection of unset diamonds, you will also see the Royal 201 diamond. This is Royal Coster's own patented diamond cut and known to be the best diamond in the world. A regular brilliant has 57 facets, while this unique diamond cut has no less than 201 facets. These extra facets cause to make the light reflect even more within the diamond. This creates a sparkling effect that is no match for any other diamond shape in the world.

It was amazing to see what goes in to making the perfect diamond. Our tour guide was great and was fun to go into a private room and actually handle and look at the diamonds. We came home with some beautiful jewelry.

It is worth it to book the private tour. You get to see more. You don't have to buy diamonds, but if you can, why not! Our your guide was lovely and we had a really great time.

We made reservations before we arrived in Amsterdam for this tour. Mae was our guide. She was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. At the end of the tour we wanted to buy a couple things. We were seated in a room just off the main show room and offered something to drink(including champagne). Nareerat, the manager, showed us diamond earrings from the showroom. We enquired about buying loose diamonds so we could get the quality we wanted. We were very pleasantly surprised when several loose diamonds were sent to our room. Quality and clarity of each diamond was reviewed with us as was the qualities of the settings. There was absolutely no pressure to the sale. The stones were set and returned to us within 20 minutes. They are gorgeous!! My husband had them show us Diamond rings also. They showed us several rings and I chose a beautiful 5 Diamond ring with perfect color and clarity. They sized it up my ring within 15 minutes. We received certificates including cut, clarity and color. Fantastic activity in Amsterdam! Highly recommended!

This was a mother & daughter morning excursion before our afternoon flight home. A quick and interesting ~30 minute tour led us through the three Royal Coster buildings in the Museum District.
