A 4-year art 'degree' in 3 hours!
Anne M,Apr 21, 2026

5.00This guided tour is a full on exploration of VanGogh the painter and the man. Our guide, Anna, shared interesting back stories that illustrated the artist's influence on others and what influenced his own work; compared various works with an eye toward helping us understand why VanGogh is such an impactful artist. It was informative, interesting and well worth the time and associated cost. I kept thinking, 'I wonder what the other tourists, with their headsets, are getting from the experience?' Not sure how other guides are, but I know our experience was superior to just walking around by ourselves. Highly recommend! Complimentary wheelchairs and portable, folding seats are available.
Great!!

5.00I recently took a tour with Babylon Tours in Amsterdam, and what an enlightening experience it was! Our guide, Ewald Bogers, was incredibly personable and engaging, making history feel alive. His passion for the city shone through every interactive moment we shared. Ewald effortlessly blended fascinating stories with organized routes, allowing us to explore both famous sights and hidden gems. It was inspiring to see Amsterdam through his experienced eyes. If you're looking for a meaningful way to connect with this vibrant city, I highly recommend Babylon Tours!
