Janet Rocks! - As has been mentioned countless times in prior reviews, this is an excellent tour for learning about Vince and his works. I knew next to nothing about the painter but by tour’s end, I gained a vast knowledge of his history and evolution of his painting styles. My wife and I would like to compliment our guide, JANET, for making the experience interesting and enriching. Highly recommend

Vincent, As Presented by a Superb Guide - Our guide, Clare, was superb. She was knowledgable, passionate about her subject, framed her presentation in an interactive manner, and taught us a great deal. It was a very moving experience. I wish we could have had more time. She brought Van Gogh to life, and helped us appreciate his singular art. Having a fabulous guide really makes the experience special. Bravo Clare!

Excellent Van Gogh Museum tour with Jo! - We loved this tour with Jo. She is incredibly knowledgeable about art and Van Gogh, and she was able to provide historical context for each work, as well as insights into Van Gogh’s turbulent life. The museum itself is excellent. You don’t often get to see so many works from the same artist, especially one as prolific as Van Gogh. The range of work is really exceptional.
