Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"I had such an amazing and informative tour with Anna this morning. I did not know much about Van Gogh but knew that a visit to the museum with a knowledgeable guide was at the top of my list while visiting Amsterdam. Anna is extremely knowledgeable about him, his work and how his personal struggles influenced him at different stages of his short life as an artist. Without her expertise I would not have understood how he changed techniques, colors, styles or who and what he was influenced by. I’m 64 and have never enjoyed a museum more! I highly recommend seeing the Van Gogh or other museums with Anna."
"Had Marten guide me through the Van Gough Museum. I wondered have he was going to fill up two hours. It was really a great two hours. He understands the artist and was able to give me fantastic insights. We then walked Amsterdam. Likewise he knows his history and architecture! He is highly recommended. I have used Locals on probably 10 occasions. He is the best I have had. "
"I had the good fortune of booking this private tour of the Van Gough Museum with Arunabha. We spent some time going over the life of Van Gough and his short but prolific time as a painter. With Arunabha I had a walking encyclopaedic knowledge and insight into the influences and challenges that shaped Van Gough and his work. Arunabha was a wonderful companion as we explored the museum. After our time together I explored the exhibition again with new eyes for Van Gough and his work. I certainly would not have considered myself an avid Van Gough fan before today. I now have a totally different life long appreciation for the complexity and quality of what he produced based on this guided experience. Thank you ever so much Arunabha. "
"Anna was an outstanding guide for the Van Gogh Museum. She's incredibly knowledgeable about Van Gogh's life and background, and she brought it all to life with insightful, informative context that made the paintings so much more meaningful. If you're doing a Van Gogh tour in Amsterdam, I highly recommend her!"
"Marten provided a two hour tour of the VanGogh museum, and I'm so happy we decided to have Marten as our guide. He was so friendly & he really educated us about the back story of Vincent VanGogh that we would have never learned with an audio guide. "
"A wonderful tour of beautiful art with a very knowledgeable guide. He was able to provide important context in history around the art we were seeing as well as details about the art itself."
"We’ve done quite a few private tours of museums and this was by far our very favourite. Rolf is warm, extremely knowledgeable, fun, and kind. You can tell he is appreciated by those who work in the institutions. We are extremely grateful for this experience and if you ever have a chance to take a tour with Rolf… take it. Rolf, thank you so much for this memorable experience. "
"We had a great tour with Rolf. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful throughout the tour with us. He was engaging, asking us questions and answering all questions we had of him. I would be happy to recommend Rolf for others and to book future tours with him myself. The price of the tour significantly escalated over the past few years. We had booked the same tour with Rolf twice in 2022 but had to cancel due to Covid restrictions. We were thrilled to be able to finally meet Rolf this year but did note the significant change in price."
"Our visit to the Van Gogh Museum with Rolf was fantastic. He is extremely knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. Would definitely recommend Rolf for any local excursion. "
"We took a 4 hour tour. The first half was a walk around Amsterdam while Marten shared his vast knowledge of the history of the city and other interesting facts. Then he took us through the Van Gogh Museum. Marten had so many wonderful stories and facts about Van Gogh. He provided us with a great afternoon and we would highly recommend touring with this charming, well informed man! "
