Wonderful tour of the Van Gogh museum. We all loved Eve. She hit all the right notes for our family of five (three kids 19,20,23). Private tour was a great way to see this intense museum.

Rolf was very knowledgeable and instructional. He shared a lot of insight into the art as well as the artists and he made the museum tour especially entertaining and educational. My husband and I both highly recommend this tour with Rolf!
