Van Gopgh Museum (from Tripadvisor – August 2024 by Ellie G)
We also booked a private Van Gogh Museum tour with Marc which was FANTASTIC. Marc takes care of purchasing tickets for you and then leads you on a two hour guided tour of the museum. He provides a great overview of the life of Vincent Van Gogh before entering the exhibit. There is so much incredible artwork in this museum, but with the crowds, it can honestly be a bit overwhelming. Marc is the perfect guide to make you feel at ease and provides background and context for each piece of art on the tour.
