Fantastic guide, fantastic experience - Paola's deep knowledge and infectious smile made for a wonderful experience. When we were walking back to our hotel, my wife said "I was never very interested in Van Gogh - now I really want to know more - we should find that movie and book." Paola did more than share knowledge - she created in another human being a desire to learn- and I know of no higher compliment. I hope our paths cross again.

An Unforgettable Museum Experience - I’m so glad we booked the semi-private tour of the museum—there’s no way we would have learned as much on a self-guided visit. It was truly money well spent. Our guide, Jacopo, was outstanding. His passion for the arts and deep knowledge of Van Gogh shone through in every story he told. He brought the paintings to life with vivid descriptions and fascinating insights into Van Gogh’s life and family. The time flew by, and I left wanting to learn even more. Highly recommend this tour—it was absolutely worth it!

Rijksmuseum & Vangoh museum - Excellent tour and the Guide (Anna N) was very knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time. However, be prepared for a long day and a lot of standing.
