SUPER!! - We had a truly wonderful tour with Anna. Choosing a small group was the best decision: everything felt more relaxed, clearer, and more “ours.” What I appreciated most was her storytelling— not just dates and names, but connections, interesting facts, and details that make you see the paintings with different eyes. She also used visual aids to explain certain points better and make everything even more immediate. Thank you, Anna — such a great experience.

Very nice tour of the Van Gogh Museum - Our guide Giovanni was on time and guided us through the museum with a lot of interesting insights on Van Gogh. Definitely worth having him with us!

Van Gogh experience - Goonanni was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the museum. I did experience a bit of difficulty fully hearing him all the time. Noise from other patrons, and earphones didn't stay in.my ears too well

Van Gogh museum a must see for art lovers - Great experience to see such a vast collection of work from Van Gogh in one place, it truly gave a sense of his personal and professional journey as an artist and person. Our guide, Anna did a good job to explain and provide as much information as needed. I would have given the activity 5/5 except the fact they had to change our timing due to overbooking a day before the tour.

worth 0 stars , waiting for a full refund - This is my first-ever review on TripAdvisor, and I'm writing it only because of a disappointing experience with a TripAdvisor tour. We booked the tour expecting to receive tickets, but they never arrived on our booking platform. When we called the company, they claimed they had never received our reservation, even though I provided the booking confirmation details. We spent nearly 30 minutes on the phone trying to resolve the issue, but our request for tickets was denied. We then went to the Van Gogh Museum, hoping to sort things out in person, but the staff refused us entry. They mentioned that this company had been causing frequent problems, and many customers had complained. It was an incredibly frustrating experience, and I hope TripAdvisor can address these issues to prevent others from facing the same problem. Avoid.

we never made it to Van Gogh museum despite lot of phone attempts to reach the top operator, AVOID ! - This tour not worth even 1 star as the tour operator never replied to us, we had no instructions where is the meeting point, and tickets never delivered as described in this tour. Seems to be a scam, no idea why it has lot of good reviews.

Very unprofessional company, never book again ! - Unacceptable for a family, as we never received our ticket, we never got answer to our messages about the meeting for the guide. They ruined our day, solving all this with booking company, but its extremely complicated. I would never recommend this company for anyone.
