Peaceful visit of Van Gogh Museum in a small group
I really enjoyed this tour! It was organized well, and the guide told us many interesting stories and was really nice. I'm not an art expert, but she explained the meaning of the paintings very well, like how some people thought van Gogh's colors were too bright for that time. Being in a small group was a lifesaver because I can't stand overcrowded places.
Interesting guide and flexible route!
The Van Gogh Museum was incredible, and I'm so happy I booked the private tour! Our guide told us a lot about van Gogh's life and all the paintings. He asked us what exactly we wanted to see, we told him we wanted to see The Potato Eaters, and then took us to see that painting. He also answered all of our questions, so this was a really good experience. I highly recommend it because you can learn a lot!
Convenient access to two museums at once
I really wanted to visit both the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum, so this was a great tour! I like art, so this was a must for me, and I learned a lot about Dutch history from the guide. He was really friendly, and I especially loved the story of how van Gogh's brother's wife helped make his paintings famous. Also, going between the two museums was simple and fast with a guide.
