Wonderful Experience - We visited the Van Gogh museum led by our guide Titia. The experience was detailed, engaging and one of our most favourite things that we did in Amsterdam. We were able to understand the essence and intentions of the pieces of the museum through some great storytelling and historical knowledge from Titia. Thank you so much!

A Must Do Experience for Art Lovers - Amor Artium is a fabulous small touring company. My experience on the Van Gogh Museum Guided Tour was exceptional. Our tour guide Fanny was highly knowledgeable and brought to life the story of Van Gogh through his art work. I loved every minute of this guided tour and would highly recommend it. It was both enjoyable and educational. Our guide Fanny really challenged us to think about how the art made us feel and to look more closely at the beautiful works of art beyond just reading the descriptions. I love, LOVE, LOVED this guided tour! It was a highlight of my trip!

Recommended. - Liz was excellent. Took her time with us and shared a lot of great knowledge. She was very well prepared and offered some wonderful insight into Van Gogh. The cost of the tour was a high and while I would do it again I would feel better about it if there had been a discounted rate for kids. That said, our three kids, 15, 13, & 11, were captivated the whole time. Great job Liz!

A 5* Experience - Highly recommend a guided tour to see and learn about Van Gogh’s art. My guide, Titia has a recent master’s degree in art history with a speciality in Van Gogh. She was able to weave Van Gogh’s personal history, his painting technique & style journey and his personal tragedy into an immersive experience. So happy I booked this tour.
