Book a 2-hour art tour of Amsterdam. Your Private Guide will meet you near Schreier Tower, in the neighborhood where young Vincent often hung out while studying for university exams and visiting his Uncle Sam. Throughout the tour you will learn many interesting facts and myths about Amsterdam’s most famous artists, their love lives, dedication to art, interest in religion and the struggle to become successful.
Points of interest include the Trippenhuis museum where Vincent often stopped by to admire art, and the Zuiderkerk, which played an important role in Rembrandt’s life. You will find out why Rembrandt’s Jewish-themed paintings were important to the local Jewish community and why van Gogh was so impressed by them as you pass the Rembrandt’s House Museum in the former Jewish Quarter. You will also cross the blue bridge at which Rembrandt used to sit and paint. The tour will end at Rembrandtplein.
Book a 5-hour art tour of Amsterdam to enhance your experience with a visit to the Rijksmuseum.
