I’m all hears

The city of Amsterdam inevitably tends to associate itself with the figure of Vincent Van Gogh. The museum that bears his name houses the world’s largest collection of works by the red-haired artist.

Our yellow path tiles (or sunflowers) takes us through the main works of the author in order to appreciate what Darwin would call a great evolution, personal and artistic.

We don’t question his genius, but we all admire someone, and Van Gogh set his eyes on Rembrandt and Millet, who led him to become the king of post-impressionism.

Visiting the Museum, we will not waste time in line and, as the tour is done on Fridays and Fridays the museum closes later, after the visit you will have 2 additional hours to visit your favorite corners.

It is included

A very friendly English-speaking guide specialized in art history

Cancellation and Changes

The reservation must be cancelled or modified at least 72 hours before the departure time of the tour.

01. A self-made painter

The Van Gogh family was quite peculiar, and our Vincent was never very close to his father. But, on the other hand, with his brother Teo he always had a very special connection. He was in charge of selling his paintings, although not always successfully. And everything we know about the painter’s life is thanks to the letters that were written. They lived far away, and in times without WhatsApp, you had to tell each other the news in some way.

02. Lifetime

Although when we say Amsterdam we think of Van Gogh, when we say Van Gogh we don’t only think of Amsterdam. In fact, most of his artistic career occurred in Arles, France.

Geniuses must be crazy, is something that we’ve all heard quite a few times. But refered to Van Gogh, that’s an understatement. The story of how he lost his ear is one among many others.

03. Work

It wouldn’t have occurred to me to paint my house yellow, but Van Gogh would. And he gathered in that house the crème de la crème of the artistic world of the time. Or tried it.

Sunflowers, almond blossoms, portraits and advertising with a Japanese atmosphere. Of course, the diversity of colors and styles make this museum a very special place

Testimonials

"We hired the tour of the Van Gogh Museum and we loved it, Sergio managed to immerse us in his life and his work. "

"Excellent visit to the Van Gogh Museum, commented by Sergio. We loved it and learned a lot! We also did the free tour of the city with Lucas which was excellent and very funny, with a lot of interesting and curious information about the city! Everything was very well organized on both tours."

They have helped make our stay in Amsterdam great. Starting with Andrea, who showed us around the city, then Sergio in the Vincent van Gogh Museum and lastly a tour through several towns surrounding Amsterdam with Jordi... they were all great. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

"We loved getting to know Amsterdam with Facundo, a very nice and wonderful guy who made the visit super enjoyable and very educational. Time flew by. We did the free tour and the visit to the Van Gogh Museum. In short, we were with him the whole day and it turned out great. We want to give our congratulations to the company for hiring this employee. The next day we visited the towns surrounding Amsterdam... we expected to see Facundo there again, but we were on the tour with his colleague Virigina. She was also phenomenal: friendly, pleasant, and made the visit super educational."

To the tour guides Blas, Mario from Murcia and Facundo: thank you very much, you are excellent and very nice, we had an incredible time. You made the 4 tours we took with you super fun and interesting (Red Light District tour, Amsterdam free tour, Van Gogh museum tour and Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken tour). Unfortunately we do not have photos of the Van Gogh museum with Facundo because it was prohibited to take pictures inside the museum but highly recommended!
