Wonderful experience at the Van Gogh Museum with guide Ewald - We stumbled onto this tour when we couldn’t get tickets to the Van Gogh museum from the museum itself, and boy were we lucky that we did. Our guide, Ewald, was a charming and knowledgeable guide to the paintings and to what was happening in Van Gogh’s life when he painted them. Ewald expertly maneuvered our group of 8 through the crowded museum providing engaging insights along the way. We learned so much and I highly recommend this tour, especially with Ewald.

Amazing experience thanks to Anna - That was a fantastic experience! Anna shared many non-common stories about the painter's life and followed up with some interesting articles. I can't believe it was 3 hours, I didn't notice it until the end. I would highly recommend the tour and Anna as a guide 🫶

Wonderful tour full of interesting insights - Wonderful tour! Lots of insights I hadn’t read or heard before. The tour follows Van Gogh’s life and career chronologically and you’re able to see his art change with his experiences and influences over time. Guide was friendly and knowledgable.

Excellent experience - Hanneke was an excellent guide and really helped tell the history with our two kids in mind. Knowing they have a lot of energy and little patience she knew to keep the tour moving and the story exciting. We thoroughly enjoyed it and we would love to come again to spend more time in the museum or even around Amsterdam. Thank you so much!!!

Our tour guide Jo was awesome! - Jo did a fantastic job of explaining and making us think about Vincent’s life. He was a mess of a person for sure. Her insight into his personal life and his paintings were well worth the extra money spent for the tour. She also provided headsets so we didn’t have to be standing right next to her to hear her. Finally her patience with the two guests who had some mobility limitations was phenomenal.
