Our tour guide, Marina S, was fantastic. She spent nearly 2 1/2 hours with us on a 1 1/2 hour scheduled tour. We began with a great background of Van Gogh, and moved forward with so much insight of his relationship with his brother as well as his development of style and materials. She also dealt with his family life, association with some of his subjects, time in Paris, and his untimely death. Also, the influence he and his style had on others as well as outside influences from others. In all, we thought it was extremely well presented.

Martina is the next. She was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Well with the time and money.
Gauthier was a fabulous guide and we learned so much about the artist and his works. A lovely tour!
Anna was very knowledgeable and interesting. We had been to this museum before and I also have a background in art history. She was a delight and I didn’t regret our choice for one second!
This was a wonderful way to see the museum. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about Van Gogh, taking us through the paintings while sharing the details. A great introduction and helpful with navigating the crowds.
Great organized efficient tour by Gautier at the Van Gogh! Lots of detail about the art and life of Vincent. Very Personable and good communicator. Provided a solid chronological of the man, his family and his work. Learned a lot we hadn't known! Would certtainly recommend to others traveling!
Packed with super interesting insights into painting, history, and culture. she clearly knows her field very well
Although tge museum was crowded, we were on a small group tour and our guide was absolutely excellent! I highly recommend this tour.
Martina was a fantastic guide to the Van Gogh Museum. Her knowledge of Van Gogh's life and the details of his paintings was terrific.
Our tour guide (Gauthier) was amazing. We learned things about the artist’s life which made us see his paintings in a more meaningful light.
Great museum and we enjoyed doing it with a guide! Our guide showed us many of the important works and then we had free time to explore on our own.
Martina S. Provided an Excellent experience, great progression through van Gogh works, and those that influenced and worked with Van Gogh. My wife and I truly enjoyed it and learned a great deal. She did an incredible job.
Martina was very knowledgeable and explained a lot. If you would like a private tour this is the way to go.
Incredible experience. Kawika was a fantastic tour guide. He brought Van Gogh's art and humanity into life. The tour was informative and well organized. Communication was excellent before the tour to plan our arrival and morning. I highly recommend visiting the museum with a knowledgeable tour guide.
Incredible tour with Vita! She gave us an in depth understanding of Van Gogh and his paintings. She brought perspective and insight to his painting and life. Impressed and thankful that we had Vita as guide.
Gauthier was our guide, and he was excellent. It was an informative and entertaining tour of the Van Gogh museum, and Gauthier has a good sense of humour as well. Highly recommended
It was truly an amazing experience. Our guide Kaiwika was so knowledgeable. He told us stories of his life and his paintings that would would have never known if we did the tour ourselves.
Martina our tour guide was outstanding. Best I have ever experienced at a museum.
Excellent experience. Guide very knowledgeable. Spoke perfect English and easy to understand. Great museum. Will come back.
This was a very informative tour, well paced and full of great information. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very agreeable to any questions asked on the trip. We learned a lot about van Gogh and I learned a lot about painting styles and how painting styles evolve overtime.
Had Gauthier as a guide. He was so wonderful with his storytelling of Van Gogh’s life. His passion and attention to detail brought this museum experience to life and more interesting than walking through the museum on our own. Definitely with the money.
Our tour guide, Martina, walked us through Vincent van Gogh’s life and art, providing context and explanation that we would never have gathered on our own in the museum. The small group (six in our tour) was an ideal size. Highly recommend!
Our guide was terrific--an artist himself he kept us engaged. We've seen Van Gogh's work here in NY and elsewhere--we still learned things and had a greater appreciation of the man.
Very detailed and enjoyable experience taking us through Vincent’s life through his work. Highly recommend!! Martina was fabulous
Martina was an absolutely wonderful guide—energetic, enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely lovely. She was so generous with her time and made our visit to the Van Gogh Museum especially memorable; we couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
Having a tour guide like Fabi made this experience the highlight of our trip to Amsterdam. I learned so many intriguing facts about the Van Gogh family. Absolutely worth the price!!
Our guide, Gauthier, did a fantastic job telling the story of Van Gogh’s life and connecting it to the art in the museum. We learned so much!
Was great to have the guide he was very informative about van Gogh‘s life and paintings. Very nice guide. Made the whole experience of the museum better..
Fabi was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and shared many of Vincent’s personal stories making the experience unique and memorable. We came to Amsterdam to see the Van Gogh museum and the tour with Fabi took it to another level. Thank you Fabi
Our first stop in Amsterdam was the Van Gogh Museum and it did not disappoint thanks to our tour guide Fabi. He was very communicative even prior to our meeting time. Very insightful and patient with our group as we all wanted to get pictures along the way. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates art and wants to know more about Vincent Van Gogh throughout his artistic life
Martina was an amazing guide! The Van Gogh Museum tour was incredibly interesting and engaging — we really enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
Martina S- amazing tour guide very knowledgeable
The guide, Martina, was excellent! She left us thought the exhibits handily, but not rushed. She provided deep explanation and analysis as she walked us through each floor. She "painted" the evolution of Van Goghs' life and development as an artist with interesting commentary, and supported many of her highlights by showing us supporting items on her tablet. This was well worth booking!
Everything was great, interesting
Fabrezio did a wonderful job of capturing Van Gough’s tragic life and his brilliant art that came of out his struggles
Fabrizio is a wonderful storyreller- highly recommend!
Not happy with changing times on us, although we agreed to change our contact person met us at museum and wanted us to download pop app to hear audio. He left abruptly and later found out this app is a scam. Museum people helped us and were given audio equipment. The experience was nice but don’t know what Viator actually provide us with. All other experiences were really professional and this was not.
Excellent tour... all the important info! Very nice guide! Thank you!
It was great to have a guide to personally lead you through the exhibits. He could answer questions and clarifications on many paintings.
Fabi was very informative and interesting. He educated us in both painting styles and techniques and the art world in the times of van Gogh. I would encourage future visitors to request him for a tour
Easy communication and good guide. Ticket arrived via text and we met at the cafe. Tour was interesting and informative.
Without Martinas knowledge, I'm sure we would have just wandered around. She was so interested that folks leaned in to hear what she was saying and I saw many nodding with interest.
Great experience! Will never visit a museum again without a tour guide! Our guide Martina was so knowledgeable about every painting !
Our guide was very professional and knowledgeable.
We met at the appointed time and location and were inside very quickly with a group of five. The Van Gogh museum did not disappoint, I just wish Starry Night was available for viewing, sadly it was on loan somewhere else. Our tour person was very knowledgeable and brought up many facts about Van Gogh that were interesting.
I literally wept at the end of the tour as Fabi brought him to live. I bought three books in the gift shop afterwards and I never read! The most amazing tour
Outstanding collection, multimedia education, building design. Our guide, Gauthier, is a treasure. I could listen to him all day.
Martina was an amazing and informative tour guide i would highly recommend
It was perfect, we got through the key items in the museum in every exhibit without doing the full on audio tour like everyone else which I am sure could take a whole afternoon.
Private tour with just a guide and my girlfriend. Extensive experience of the museum explaining each room and painting into great detail including all the backstory. Our guide Gauthier was 11/10. Would do it again and recommend to all our friends.
