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.

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

We are so grateful to Rolf for the wonderful tour of the Rijksmuseum. He was able to sift through many, many wonderful works to give us an excellent overview (but with nice detail) of many of the pieces at the museum. Thank you, Rolf! Best museum tour ever!

Walking through the Van Gogh museum with Rolf as our guide was a fabulous afternoon immersed in all things Van Gogh. Rolf’s knowledge of Van Goghs life, the artist peers who influenced him and the various locales from which he painted brought his art to life. Rolf’s use of his iPad deepened our understanding of many of the paintings that we visited. We finished our time at the Kiefer exhibit which tied our whole afternoon together. It was extraordinary to start by understanding who influenced Van Gogh and finishing up by seeing how Van Gogh influenced Kiefer. Thank you Rolf for a wonderful afternoon !!Immersive Visit to the Van Gogh Museum

Rolf was a very interesting and engaging guide who was eager to share his knowledge about the Van Gogh museum. The tour was more like a discussion with him about Van Gogh and his life as we walked around the museum looking at the exhibits. He was very personable and we had fun interacting with him. He is very knowledgeable and was able to go beyond just the basic facts to help us understand the context of Van Gogh's life in that period of art history. We highly recommend him. Engaging and Interesting
