The guide ( sorry forgot her name) she is very good. Took time to explain about vangogh life and how he suffered and all. She explained Fr each and every painting with her view. She is very knowledgeable. We really loved our group too. This is the best part in my trip other than dinner cruise.
Amazing Van Gogh exhibit and wonderful tour guide
Hazel_G, Sept 2023
We had an amazing time visiting the Van Gogh museum and what made the experience even more wonderful was our tour guide, Diana. She was knowledgeable and accommodating, and answered our questions thoughtfully. She presented Van Gogh’s work and his life in a digestible manner. I came out of the tour with a lot more understanding and appreciation of his life and his work.
Highly Recommended Tour of Van Gogh Museum
Jean_W, Sept 2023
Great tour by Diana, our tour guide. I had visited the Van Gogh Museum by myself years ago and learned how Van Gogh’s painting style evolved over his career. However, I gained a much deeper appreciation and understanding of his work by having a knowledgeable guide who shared details about Van Gogh’s life, how this influenced his subjects and paintings, as well as the background on key paintings in the collection. I highly recommend this tour, the best way to go to the museum.
Perfect Van Gogh tour

Great guide
James_W, Sept 2023
Diana our guide was superb - very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Even our 8 year old paid attention throughout and learnt lots. Highly recommended.
Tour with someone who knows!
Christopher_P, Sept 2023
I would definitely recommend this tour to someone who wants, not only the highlights, but the background and the ability to ask questions of a knowledgeable expert. After the formal tour, you can continue to browse. However, Diana was an excellent guide and I wouldn't have learned nearly as much without her insight.
VanGogh Experience was Great!
Senora_G, Sept 2023
Anita, our docent, was great and very engaging during our visit. I am more than happy tht I booked this tour, it was a little pricey (to me) but it was money well spent. Book this tour and hopefully you'll have Anita your guide. You won't regret it.
Wonderful tour
Raisa_Z, Aug 2023
It was a wonderful tour. Melissa, our guide, proved to have a thorough knowledge of the subject. The only suggestion I have is to have whisper audio sets, as it was very crowded in the museum and the noise level was high.
Go guided
