Last Minute in Amsterdam

Michael_G, Apr 2025
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.

Hi Michael, Tx for taking the effort to post a review! And happy to hear that you guys loved it! All the best, Rolf

PICK THIS ONE! It’s the best.

Morgan_H, Apr 2024
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

Nicole_S, Nov 2023
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

Incredible Experience

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...

Anne_J, Apr 2022
$1150 for nothing. Guide did not have tickets. Will dispute charges. What a disappointment! Have never had a worse experience.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

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!!!

Guida fantastica!

Jolinde_t, Jul 2024
