The guide, i am not sure his name.. and Italian.. was excellent.. He not only knew a great deal about the paintings and the history, but he was friendly and helpful. By the time i got to the Van Gogh museum i could no longer walk. He got me a wheelchair and pushed me all through the museum. He helped us on the elevators and finding the facilities. He was the best. peace, Harriet

This experience absolutely made my vacation. The hostesses were force feeding me shots, the bars we visited were very cool, and at the end of it all I got laid. Cant thank this group enough, not sure what’s with some of the negative comments. If you’re young, trying to drink, and want to explore the city with other people then this is for you.

this was an exceptional museum. after seeing the movie depicting van gogh i was really excited to go here. unfortunately the skip the line option was not available. not sure if i paid extra for that or not. just a reminder to all, any museum in amsterdam requires purchasing tickets in advance especially if you have a specific date you want to go.

Great tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable of Van Gogh. The whole tour was very interesting and we learned tons of facts about the artist. Definitely recommend doing this tour because you learn so much more than just walking around the museum by yourself.

This was undoubtedly one of the best things we did. Bastion, our guide, was very understanding, knowledgable and laid the foundation to our holiday in Amsterdam as it was the first thing we wanted to do in the city. They also managed to secure a carrier for our child which made it more special. One of the top activity to do!

Great for your money. If you don’t understand english it may be a little hard on the canal tour. there is an audio tour in several languages but our guide made several corrections and side comments in english that others were not privy to due to the language barrier. overall great tho
