Van Gogh Museum Tours

Aurora was amazing, very knowledgeable and engaged with everyone. I especially liked how she involved the two children on our tour. I highly recommend this tour and specifically Aurora. Her language skills were excellent and her passion for the art is tangible.

Excellent! I'd highly recommend it. Very informative and our guide, Benjamin, who was very new to the job did a fantastic job. We were particularly grateful that they managed to fit us in after I'd stupidly booked our tour for the wrong day! Great tour, great people, great city.

Canal cruise: headset in local language was good, but there was two sources of information: headset in local language + guide in english. Information from the guide was very interesting but the mix of two information channels - sometimes even overlapping - was confusing. This should be optimized.

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!

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!

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!

If you want to feel like a "real Amsterdammer" on a bike, you should book this tour. Very nice guide, seen a lot - BUT: the Dutchman doesn't know the 1.5 m overtaking distance, that's more like 0.5 m. Mostly you're on bike paths, where you split the road, it gets damn narrow. Our children are 8 and 12, so watching it as parents makes you sweat. Furthermore, it is sometimes difficult to follow the guide in full traffic, so a high-visibility vest or, for example, a flag on the bike would be useful.
