Getting to know Van Gogh - If you are lucky enough to have Nicholas as your guide, you will have a wonderful experience. He has a wealth of knowledge about the region but also about a lot of other things, like wine and the environment necessary to grow the vines. Everything about this tour is enjoyable. We had just the right amount of time to take in each specific attraction while still allowing us the opportunity to wander a bit on our own afterwards .

Art lovers excursion - Wonderful for art lovers especially those who want to explore the life and surroundings of Van Gogh. Our guide, Jos was very knowledgeable about the subject as well as the geography and history of the locales that we visited. He was fluent in English and very enthusiastic and funny. I highly recommend this tour!

Excellent trip in the footsteps of Van Gogh - We had an excellent trip ‘in the footsteps of Van Gogh’. Our driver guide was very good, knew his subject very well and spoke excellent English. We had an extremely interesting time in Arles and at the monastery where Van Gogh was a patient. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour.

Excellent Tour and Guide - We met our guide, Joanne, in front of the office of tourism in Avignon. She was wonderful and very knowledgeable with a quick wit. The tour is not designed to show original art of Van Gogh but to take to those places and times that inspired the artist. The asylum is exceptionally moving when contemplating about the life and death of Van Gogh. Our guide was very good on this point. She was also very good driving a van on the narrow streets of Arles and St. Remy. Be sure to ask her why Missouri was important to France.

Great Trip - This trip was more than we expected. It was a real Van Gogh emersion. The exact location of some of the places he painted specific pieces was an unusual connection to a painter. The Roman antiquities were a convenient bounce. We enjoyed our guide who was very good and very french which added a lot to the overall experience.

Van Gogh beautiful - I really enjoyed seeing all the places Van Gogh lived. However, the facilitator gave more information in English than in French. My husband doesn't understand English.
