Amazing Experience - The whole experience was wonderful. From the meet up spot, entering the museum and ensuring we got all of our questions answered Ewald was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and having additional examples on his IPad to share was a great bonus. I highly recommend touring the museum this way.

Informative and relaxed tour. - Our was well organised, relaxed, natural and friendly. Our guide was knowledgeable and provided a lot of context around the origins of the museum, the family and of course the artist! We were given plenty of scope to wander at our own pace too. Highly recommended.

What really happened in Van Gogh’s life. - What an amazing tour! We had Anna as our guide on a Thursday afternoon. She was prompt, kind and very courteous. Her smile is infectious, her voice clear and she is easy to understand and follow. Her knowledge of art and more specifically Vincent Van Gogh was nothing less than mind blowing. I can’t imagine the hours she has put in to reading articles and researching her subjects. Very knowledgeable. I feeling like this tour really gave me more than just insights into Van Gogh but art in general. Her comparisons of style between artist was amazing. She will leave you wanting more as she weaves the facts together leading you to your own conclusion about what really happened in Van Gogh’s life, his study of Art and how he became an artist with so many things stacked against him and the opportunities he failed. Ask for Anna and if you have to wait she will be worth it.

Don’t miss a tour with the best - Anna - Had the best time, and probably the most informative museum tour I’ve ever been on, with Anna! She is incredibly knowledgeable of Van Gogh’s life - enriching each piece with context and reasoning as to why. She creates a vivid story through art and history, and helps you answer the question of why Van Gogh is so popular. This is a must book! Also Anna is very communicative - reminding attendees of meeting time and making the whole experience so easy!

Van Gough brought to life! - We absolutely loved this tour! Fantastic communication before during and after the visit! The museum itself is wonderful; the artworks, atmosphere and facilities all incredible! What made the trip so good, however, was our tour guide Monique! She captivated us from start to finish, with spell binding story telling, creating a vision of Van Gough’s life, personality and relationships. Monique was informative but above all passionate and excited to share Van Gough with us. We learned a lot and had great fun, but I hadn’t expected to feel quite so much. Thank you. A brilliant way to spend my mum’s 81st birthday, thank you for being so kind and caring too.
