Amazing Exhibits and Guide Irina - Of course, the van Gogh Museum was amazing but our guide Irina made the tour awesome! She was generous with her time and started by teaching us about van Gogh’s life experiences, and how they affected the progression of his artwork. She even included extra pictures on her tablet to tell the story. I have taken many Museum art tours and she definitely is five stars. Hope you are lucky enough to get her as your guide. I greatly appreciate that. She brought earpieces and speaker boxes so that she was easy to hear. The Museum does get very noisy. By the way, the ticket purchased for the tour includes the special Kieffer exhibit in both the van Gogh Museum, and Stedelijk Museums. It is very confusing since they split Keifer exhibit into two museums. You will get a wristband for a Kifer combi ticket which lets you into both museums for the Kiefer exhibits. (do not waste your money on the audio guide for the temporary Keifer exhibit housed in the van Gogh Museum ) It was not clear about access to Kifer in both museums even when I contacted the operator, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I had access to both. Enjoy!

Enlightening Tour of the Van Gogh Museum - We enjoyed this tour very much. Anna’s knowledge of the artists and their works was superb. Her unconventional approach as a guide kept us thinking and as a result we learned so much. She was well prepared and could answer all of our questions. We appreciated her use of her iPad with many paintings which made it easy to understand fine points of the artist’s work. We highly recommend this tour.

Van Gogh tour - We had the pleasure of joining a Van Gogh tour recently, and it was a truly enriching experience—made all the more special by our guide, Clare. From the moment the tour began, Clare’s passion for Van Gogh’s life and art was evident. Her storytelling brought the artist’s journey to life, blending historical detail with personal anecdotes in a way that was both informative and emotionally resonant. Clare had a gift for making the art feel accessible and alive.

Detailed tour of the life and history of van Gogh. - Claire was extremely knowledgeable, a detailed history of the life of Van Gogh. She’s a tour guide worth investing in. You would not get the emotion or the history without having someone that knowledgeable share their story.
