Our tour with VICTORIA was first rate and she was exceptional and knowledgeable and provided great insight and information - you would think she was Vincent’s friend‼️‼️👍👍👏👏
I had an amazing experience with Ana! It turned out my semi private tour turned into a private tour, which was absolutely amazing. Ana is so knowledgeable and so accommodating it made this part of my trip absolutely memorable!!
Our tour guide Anita was very knowledgeable and gave us many perspectives to understanding Van Gough’s approach to painting. I would highly recommend this tour even to the complete novice to art appreciation.
Cecile S. Is a great guide for these fabulous, must-see museums. She has an advanced degree in art history. She has a passion for sharing her knowledge, which comes through in her fascinating presentations. She is also quite respectful of the needs of all her attendees.
Wonderful experience our guide was fabulous, well informed and a pleasure to spend time with.
We had a tour of the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh. It was a swmi private tour which turned private in the first half for us as there were no other attendees. Monique, our guide, was extremely passionate in showing us the beautiful art pieces in the Rijksmuseum and her stories and anecdotes were both informative and enthralling.. just like the art pieces. That passion carried on to the afternoon group which had 4 other people in the mix. And Monique's enthusiasm and stories carried us on a journey of Van Gogh's life and times and his art and mind beautifully. A very special shout out to Monique, who really turned a 5 hour trip into a fun, invigorating time leaving us asking for more at the end.
We had an exceptional experience touring the Van Gogh & Rijksmuseum museums with our guide, Victoria. Her deep knowledge of art history truly brought each piece to life, offering insights that we would never have discovered on our own. What stood out most was her genuine passion for art—it was contagious and made the entire tour engaging from start to finish. I highly recommend doing these tours on the same day and request Victoria as your guide. 10/10!!!
Great guide. Very informative! Great experience.
Lovely visit. Romy is a great guide- knowledgeable and interesting. She clearly enjoys the art she is describing.
Our guide Anna was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable about Van Gogh’s life and was able to make the tour so interesting and memorable.
