Breeze past the lines at Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum and head straight inside to begin your exploration of the life and work of Vincent Van Gogh. As the world’s largest museum devoted to an individual artist—and one of the most popular attractions in Amsterdam—tickets to the Van Gogh Museum are some of the most in-demand in the world and sell out in advance. Luckily, you’ll have nothing to worry about on this tour. Your pre-reserved, guaranteed timed entry is already sorted, so all you have to do is relax and enjoy the art.

Together with a small group of just 15 guests maximum and a knowledgeable art expert guide to lead the way, you'll appreciate iconic works like "Sunflowers" and "The Potato Eaters" with plenty of context and lesser-known stories. You'll also get to know the man himself as you follow his career from his early days as an aspiring artist to his untimely death. Get ready for an unrivalled peek inside one of the most enigmatic minds in art history.

This tour also includes access to the temporary exhibit by famed German artist Anselm Kiefer at the Van Gogh Museum, as well as the permanent and temporary exhibits at the Stedelijk Museum (Museum of Contemporary Art). The Stedelijk Museum was an early appreciator of both Van Gogh and Kiefer's works before the artists found their way into the mainstream. You will be able to access both the temporary exhibit and Stedelijk Museum at the end of your tour.
