Hola! Encantado de conocerte

I'm a professional art historian and love to tell stories with nice details, so you'll never forget the place you've visit. If there is one talent which I used the most, it is telling stories. I want to distinguish myself by telling hidden gems and details that other are obvious. I do my own research and try improve my tours constantly. A story about the meaning of the artworks is nice but the why, when, where and who is even more fun.

Our family enjoyed our two tours with Rolf - The Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum. He is an art historian, so he provided interesting and thoughtful information throughout our tours. If you are looking to enhance a tour of any of the art museums in Amsterdam, we highly recommend Rolf.Excellent Art Guide

Je moet je voorstellen dat het de Zaterdag van de Gaypride in Amsterdam is🙏 En dan na een exquise Lunch in het Rijks aan de deur opgehaald worden door Rolf🔝 Hij is zeer correct, persoonlijk en vooral deskundig.

Our guide, Rolf, was an amazing source of information about Van Gogh. Being an art historian his knowledge of Van Gogh was absolutely perfect. He came prepared with an iPad that he used to show us additional parts of Van Gogh's life that really completed the tour. Highly recommend Rolf!An Incredible journey of Van Gogh's work

We had a wonderful family tour (two 15 year olds) with Rolf. Rolf struck a nice balance between speaking to the adults while at the same time holding the teenagers’ interest. We particularly enjoyed how he put the art in the broader historical context. We will definitely seek Rolf out for our next Rijksmuseum visit. Great Tour with Rolf

Had a great tour of the Van Gogh museum with Rolf. He offered to buy our tickets ahead of time so we could skip the line and spend more time in the museum, spent time preparing visual examples we could look at on his tablet screen, and taught us as a group how an art historian can isolate details in studying a painting. If you want to learn about Van Gogh’s life, understand how his paintings in context, and learn how to study them, there is no better guide.Van Gogh Museum Tour

Rolf was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He brought an extraordinary amount of knowledge about the exhibits. What was particularly good was the enthusiasm he has for the subject matter whether it was an exhibit he picked out or ones that we picked out. An Enthusiastic and Knowledgeable Guide

Our tour of the Van Gogh Museum with Rolf was wonderful. We were a group of two and adults and an 8 year old. Rolf had his work cut out for him from the onset, and he more than met the occasion keeping us all interested and engaged! We all learned a great deal about Van Gogh and were able to take some of that knowledge with us when we toured the Rijksmuseum on our own. We would highly recommend Rolf!Family tour of Van Gogh Museum

We very much enjoyed our personal art history lesson about the life and work of Van Gogh. Rolf brought Van Gogh, his work and struggles to life. I not only gained an appreciation for the art itself and why it was a significant step forward. I also learned about the importance of a support system that enabled Van Gogh to develop as an artist. Van Gogh’s brother provided monetary support and his brother’s wife made it her mission to create an exhibit to share his little known art and genius with the world. A new appreciation for Van Gogh
