Additional Information

This specially-curated van Gogh tour is conducted by experienced Dutch art historians. We delve into the intricate details of Vincent’s life, his artworks, and sources of inspiration on this tour. Understand why Van Gogh chose to pick up the paintbrush at the relatively late age of 27. Explore the significant role his adored brother Theo played in his personal and creative journey, and get insights into Vincent’s familial ties and romantic relationships. Van Gogh’s mental struggles left indelible marks on his work, alongside his brilliance and intensity – aspects that we’ll examine in his iconic works such as ‘The Potato Eaters’, ‘The Sun Flowers’, ‘The Yellow House’ and ‘The Almond Blossom’. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of his varied artistic phases. Vincent ended his life at 37 and his brother, the art trader Theo, joined him a few months later. One wonders who was the force that propelled Vincent into the limelight. As the saying goes, behind every successful man lies a formidable woman…

This tour is not just a homage; a journey through Vincent’s life unveils the story of love, commitment, bravery and fraternity that can be seen in every stroke of his brush.

Unique Experience and Tour - Florentine and her company did the most incredible job when it came to touring the Van Gogh museum. Our experience at the museum would have not been the same without her. Incredible wealth of knowledge and educational content strung together in one complete story about Van Goghs life left us contemplative and inspired as we ended our tour. Cannot recommend Loving Vincent Tours enough when you’re looking at visiting this museum.

Visit at Van Gogh Museum - It was very fun and interesting to learn all those information about the life and story of Vincent Van Gogh. It was amazing and not boring at all for my two young children (aged 11 and 9). Thank you Fannie very much for this wonderful experience!

Guided tour of Van Gogh Museum - Meryl was an excellent museum guide-very knowledgeable and provided a well-paced tour of the museum . She shared insights into Van Gogh’s work that truly made it meaningful. She focused on key works that highlighted critical points in his career. I learned so much and really appreciated the exhibit much more than if I had viewed it on my own. I highly recommend it!
