First rate and worth the money

Our guide Florentina was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and a good presenter. I’m a retired Museum Director. First rate and worth the money.

Even our daughter was hooked

I honestly have to say this was an amazing tour due to our guide. The way how she took us through Vincent Van Goghs life from start to finish had us hooked. She explained it with a lot of detail and provided additional images for us to view of his work. She left a lasting impression on us. My 8 y/o daughter was as well very intrigued and answering the questions the guide had asked. So even our daughter was hooked. Highly recommend the tour!

My private guide was exceptional!

My private guide was exceptional! She is extremely knowledgeable and has curated the most interesting and worthwhile paintings that elevated my limited knowledge of art. She was also attentive to the needs of older people. I would highly recommend this tour!!

A terrific tour with a very knowledgeable and engaging guide

A terrific tour with a very knowledgeable and engaging guide. I know some art history and this tour was well done, accessible, and focused. After hearing our guide’s specific insight of various phases of Van Gogh’s life and painting, after the tour we were able to go back and view what we wanted to spend more time with the paintings. Upon entering the museum, we went in ahead of the line, so the access is great.

Best tour I’ve been on

Our guide, Fannie, was absolutely fantastic! Best tour I’ve been on. I wish she could lead every museum tour. Such a wonderful experience and afternoon. I walked away smiling and full of knowledge. A big thank you!

I can say she was one of the best guides I’ve ever had on something like this

The tour guide was exceptional. Florentine really understood Art and Van Gogh’s life. I felt invested and didn’t want to miss anything she said. I can say she was one of the best guides I’ve ever had on something like this.

Well done and would book again!

Valery did an excellent job. Great work navigating the crowds while providing interesting info I hadn't heard before about Vincent. Well done and would book again.

I’m so glad I took this tour

I'm so glad I took this tour. It provided much more understanding into the life of Van Gogh than I would have learned just from reading the cards by the paintings. I'll recommend this tour to others in the future. I also appreciate that it was a small group!
