Van Gogh Museum Tours

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.

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.

Aurora gave an excellent and enjoyable tour of the Van Gogh museum! She is very knowledgable, and easy to understand. She explained various works and Van Gogh's personal life. I highly recommend her! I understand it is a different experience to take a guided tour of the museum, and appreciate the guide's work, but it is much more expensive than the entrance fee.

The tour from Leah was excellent. She was very informative and helpful. The information about Van Gogh’s life was fascinating and I much preferred listening to Leah chatting to an audio commentary. I learned new aspects of his life I hadn’t appreciated. Her perspective on his mental health was interesting too considering her own knowledge of psychology. The hiccup at the start of the tour was unfortunate and well handled by her. Our delayed start was a bit frustrating at first but resolved quickly. It would been nicer if the museum staff could have allowed us to wait inside the group entrance as it was chilly waiting outside. Unfortunately due to the delay I was unable to wander around the museum after the tour as I had to meet my husband at an agreed time. As said before the hiccup was not Leah’s fault, but the museum could have made us more welcome.

Our guide (Hank) walked us right into the museum with no wait, he was well known by the museum staff. The original meeting place was a little unclear because we did the know the area, and it was about 300 yards from the entrance. But having an exclusive and experienced tour guide like Hank gave us enormous information and insight in a short period of time. For us it was worth the expense!

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.

The audio guide is very user friendly and enhances my understanding and enjoyment when I stare at my favourite artworks to a different level! I am glad I purchased my ticket before I left for my trip. I wish the Vincent Van Gough museum ticket is included into the one day traveller pass. Thanks.

I was initially hesitant to sign up as I really just wanted a ticket for the museum. However, I am now so happy that I took the tour. I think I got so much more out of the museum experience with the guide than I would have on my own. Janet was an excellent tour guide and a wealth of information on Van Gogh’s life, family, and his art. I really loved every moment.

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!

Didn't use museum voucher, was concerned where and how to convert to ticket, so went online after contacting your site and bought timed entry ticket direct from VanGogh Museum. Did enjoy cruise when I discovered we could change the voucher and board right across the street from our hotel at Museumplein location.

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.

Shorter than expected but guide was excellent and knowledgeable. Booked thinking it would be only for 2 of us, which given the price seemed reasonable. Surprised then to be sharing tour with a group.

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.

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 museum was very impressive and very well organised. The canal Cruise was amazing. We enjoyed every minute of it, because we had it in the evening when all the lights were on, and the commentary also included a variety of information that we wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

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!

The museum was great! Staff was very friendly & welcoming. Just keep in mind to take your card with you because the souvenir shops don’t always take payments in cash; but that’s not a big problem. It was one of the best experiences in my life for sure.

Our guide, Victoria, has a solid mastery of all things Van Gogh, and an infectious curiosity that leads to true appreciation for the personal and societal concerns that impacted the artist. Nearly as important, Victoria had the fortitude to lead our group directly through the throngs of ambling, photo-taking (and music-playing!) tourists right up to the art so that we could actually experience it as Van Gogh did (rather than hovering back in the cheap seats just hoping to get a brief glimpse). Victoria was able to actively engage with both Van Gogh novices and those who have clearly done a good bit of study, making the tour informative and entertaining for all. I've been on other tours with professorial guides and stuffy content, and this tour was thankfully the precise opposite of that. 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.

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!
