Pedro is the man

5.00It’s a bit pricey but worth it. Tour guide was a young man named Pedro. He was very knowledgeable about Van Gogh and was very pleasant. It was the first tour in an art museum that I did not fall asleep in. Van Gogh is a very fascinating man.
Excellent personal tour of Van Gough museum with Inbal Tur-Shalom

5.00We booked a personal tour via Amsterdam Experience and we were not disappointed. Inbal was very knowledgeable and we learnt much more than we might have done on a group tour or just wandering around on our own. Would strongly recommend. Be mindful though that the museum is incredibly busy so pick your time
Knocked our socks off!!

5.00We did a guided tour of the Van Gough museum with Jacopo C - it was phenomenal. We have done museum tours all over the world - and this was the best we ever had. Jacopo was knowledgeable on the period, art history generally and the historical context surrounding VG life and work - being on his tour was a masterclass on VG work! He kept our attention with stories and kept the tour moving at the perfect pace. Cannot recommend this tour - and this guide specifically - more highly. JC - thanks for an amazing morning.

A 4-year art 'degree' in 3 hours!

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!!
