Van Gogh Museum Tours

Well worth visiting. Knowing more about the artist, his life and particularly the messages in his work were very interesting, enlightening and moving. We spent four hours at the museum so that itself says a lot! Audio not included so a bit misleading in the information. This was an extra cost. The canal trip was fabulous and this did include the audio.

Getting the tickets really cut out time in line waiting to get in. However, the info on the ticket was very confusing. It needs to state clearly that you get in line AT THE MUSEUM at your appointed time. The address for the canal ride needs to indicate that this is for the canal ride only - not where you meet for the museum.

We had a great tour with Rolf. He was very informative and pointed out so many things about the art it was very insightful. All three of us had a great time and he worked us through the crowd very well. It was great just being in a small group, gave up plenty of time to ask question. If you are going to the Van Gogh Museum .... go with Rolf !!

Cruise very good although directions to get there poor. Van Gogh museum excellent despite bad-mannered fellow visitors (standing directly in front of pics blocking view). Don’t miss BRILLIANT Millet exhibition downstairs - plenty of Van Gogh there too.

Paola was a knowledgeable and pleasant guide. While exploring the museum, I also learned much about the paintings and history of Amsterdam. One of the best guides I've had in the man cities I've visited.

Rolf was an amazing tour guide thru the Van Gogh museum. His art history knowledge as well as Dutch history made the two hours very pleasant. We walked away with a wealth of information. Highly recommend taking this tour!

the van gogh museum is very good, the museum is very well done, a treat. On the other hand, the boat trip is not great. the company, does not fit into the heart of Amsterdam. we bypass the center, we go outside Amsterdam and the port. announced for 90 minutes we did 75 minutes, we covered kilometres, but we didn't see much. rather take the walk in the city center in 1 hour for €13 with another company!

The tour was very good, There were a lots of Van Gogh's art collection in the museum, especially the sun flowers. Our guide was very knowledgeable about his art works and his life stories behind many of his paintings, She explained many of Van Gogh's paintings with detailed background stories, and his relationship with other artists. Even we read books about Van gogh before, we still learned a lot from it. We highly recommend this tour for anyone is interested about Van Gogh.

We had booked a small group tour (minimum two, max eight persons). Our guide, Faustina, was absolutely fantastic with her knowledge, and forthright access to the paintings - there was nothing about Vincent that she didn’t know. And to have get our group close and unobstructed access/viewing was really great!!! Her through life story and influences were very succinctly provided.

My daughter and I had such a great experience with Rolf as our guide. He had so very much information and told us information we would not have received with an audio. He was prompt and we had no trouble meeting in front of the museum. He is truly an asset to your company. Would definitely recommend Rolf. Bravo!

It was a great museum to get acquainted with Van Gogh's work. Beautifully curated, I was able to see how thoughtfully they placed each piece if work to tell the ultimate story of Van Gogh. Showing the ticket provided via the app was effortless and hassle free. Glad to have done it.

Rolf is well studied in Van Gogh’s life, works and techniques. He speaks perfect English (having lived in NYC), and was able to quickly gauge our group’s intersest and tailor our visit accordingly. This is a very busy museum, particularly in the Summer, and having a guide like Rolf to manage your time, focusing on the interesting and important pieces was invaluable. Highly recommend!

Before you dismiss the idea of paying for a guide, in our experience it was worth every penny. Our guide, Mila, was excellent very knowledgeable and passionate about Van Gogh. She took us on a tour of the museum and told us all about the history behind the paintings as well as the family history of Van Gogh. It was worth every penny. At the end of the tour we were free to go back around the museum and revisit the highlights. Thanks Mila it was great to meet you.

Don’t miss this if you’re in Amsterdam! Definitely worth the visit. Plan 2h for the permanent exhibition on order to understand everything and take advantage of the audioguide and an additional 45min for the temporary exhibition-we saw Klimt and loved it!

It was amazing to be able to view over 100 works of art painted by Vincent Van Gogh and learn about his life. Pre- booking is essential as there are only a few time slots to view the museum on offer if you have not ordered your tickets online in advance. For example we arrived at the Van Gogh Museum at 11.15am and the next free slot would have been 3.15 in the afternoon, but fortunately we had pre-booked.

Worked well for us. Went straight to ticket office in Damrak central Amsterdam and got a boarding ticket for cruise. Decent one hour cruise to get a good feel of city from waterline level. Van Gogh ticket was essential as we saw walk-ups being turned away and told 'booked all week'.
