Description

My philosophy is to offer infotainment, I try to know everything there is to know about Vincent Van Gogh( my wife can't believe I still buy more books...), but I also spice it up with fun facts and anecdotal information about his life. Judging form my reviews you can tell that people loved it for the knowledge part but also the enthusiasm I bring to the stage. When you have kids; I tend to get them engaged too.

A perfect guide.

Rolf is a fantastic guide, he even moved my visit to the afternoon, due to a problem of mine… and today is King’s Day. He is very knowledgeable and funny while telling you about the life and phases of Van Gogh’s art.

Operator response

Tx for your kind words! Pity that you fell ill and had to cancel at first. Luckily, you recovered quickly! And sent me a whatsapp to tell me that… And more luck that i was available to show you like 6 hrs later. Long live the King… that is why i was free the afternoon.

The Museum was great! But our guide never showed. Expect a refund!

Again. Museum was great but we waited at the prearranged meeting place for Rolfe and he never showed. Museum let us in and we did audio tour.

Operator response

So sorry! A weird coincidence that you were a bit late, a lady approached me excused herself for being late and I just figured it was you. We exchanged an app 10 minutes before where you said to be a few minutes late. Still my bad, I shouldda looked for 2 adults. This was a mother with her son and daughter. Terrible! I send you a text message also with the same offer I make you now: You guys can get a free tour of your choice: Rijksmuseum or still Van Gogh, an historic city walk or a bike tour. Viator also knows this. You can get my contact details from them. Maybe when you have a stop over on your way to another European destination: please accept this free gift. And you have received your refund already! All the best, Rolf Schreuder

Last Minute in Amsterdam

This was a great tour. We were not able to get tickets during our stay as they were sold out. Rolf's tour allowed us access to the wonderful Van Gogh museum and was very informative and interesting.

PICK THIS ONE! It’s the best.

Rolf is a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable about both Theo and Vincent Van Gogh’s life and what was going on with the painter when he painted each of his works. I very much enjoyed engaging with Rolf about the different works and styles Van Gogh painted, and he gave us great recommendations for other museums on our trip! I would give him 10 stars if I could.

Tx for taking the effort of writing such a lofty review!! All the best, Rolf

Incredibly engaging private tour

We were in Amsterdam during the busiest time of the year—tulip season and King’s day. We failed to realize we needed to get tickets for the Van Gogh museum weeks in advance and all tickets were sold out. Luckily, we found this tour. It was relatively expensive for the two of us but worth every penny. Rolf is an incredible guide. He knows the material and has a passion for the history and the art. Without the tour, I don’t think I would have understood or appreciated the museum as I did. You can see Van Gogh paintings across the world, but his journey and inspiration is captured in this museum and Rolf is the perfect person to tell the tale. We left fully satisfied and happy to pay the price. Don’t miss this tour!

Tx for your lenghty and lofty review!! Cheers, Rolf

Rolf is incredibly knowledgeable and a wonderful storyteller. Most importantly, Rolf engaged with each of us and we all left feeling a special connection to the art.

$1150 for nothing. Guide...

$1150 for nothing. Guide did not have tickets. Will dispute charges. What a disappointment! Have never had a worse experience.

Operator response

You should be fully reimbursed, I have never disputed anything. Just now do I see your review and realize something went terribly wrong. Please do contact Viatot customer service to tell them I said you are entitled to a full refund. Hopefully we can still work this out. Sorry!!!
