Vincent in Amsterdam - Our guide was excellent in selectively taking us to different works to show how Vincent developed as a painter while weaving in his life story. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.

Loved Anna as our guide! - Anna was tremendous! She moved us thru the rooms on a busy Sunday taking us to the front of each picture with ease. When we asked at the end how she knew which pictures to take us to she noted that we had asked questions at the start and quickly knew what we would be interested in seeing. It was exactly what we were looking for In a tour!

Interesting tour with a very knowledgeable guide - Our guide, Kawika, was AMAZING! He described Van Gogh’s life and family so clearly. We never felt rushed and his temperament was perfect. I would highly recommend this tour with Kawika.

The best in Amsterdam - I loved the main exhibit and the temporary one - so easy to enter even a bit ahead of schedule to give myself an extra 30 minutes for the visit. The audio guide is excellent. My organizer, Ms. Eva was excellent communicator and I had everything set ahead of my visit so I appreciated that. Thank you! Martink
