Overview

Skip the crowds and dive deep into Van Gogh’s world with a private tour led by your own local expert. Whether you’re an art buff or just curious, this isn’t about memorizing dates—it’s about feeling the art. From iconic pieces like Sunflowers to the lesser-known gems, your guide will tailor the experience around your interests, making it personal, insightful, and refreshingly human.

No Headsets. No Herding. Just You and the Art
Forget the audio guides and group tours. This is a one-on-one experience that brings Van Gogh’s colors, chaos, and genius to life. You’ll hear real stories—about his brother Theo, his breakdowns, his breakthroughs. Past guests say it felt like having the museum to themselves.

Tailored to Your Curiosity
Want to explore his early work? Talk technique? Or unpack his influences? You decide the focus. Your guide adapts the journey to what lights you up. Like Holly, who came for the paintings and left obsessed with his letters.
