Last minute perfection - I booked last minute as I wasn’t sure if I’d be in Avignon all day . I have lived in France on and off for the last 30 years . Jeremy made the history of Van Gogh come alive and his stories as well as his knowledge of the area were fascinating. We saw a weeks worth of sites in a day ! My highest recommendation.

The footsteps of Van Gogh was top notch - I learned a lot, both about Arles (who knew there was bullfighting?) and about Van Gogh. And visiting the psychiatric hospital in St. Remy proved much more interesting than I expected.

Van Gogh and where he lived his life. - Remy was super. Knowledgable of Van Gogh and of the history and sights in the several areas we visited. Always wanting to answer questions and point out what could be easily missed. More than just a tour about Van Gogh but a tour of where he lived and worked. Excellent.

Cultural and Historical Highlight - Great tour and tour guide. While the tour was focused on Van Gogh, we also learned a lot about the history of France and the Provence region from our very knowledgeable and friendly guide. It was very impactful to physically be in and see the region and areas that Vincent Van Gogh painted. It helped us understand the importance of these areas for the Van Gogh's life and why he chose to paint them. Arles is a wonderful town and we had time to roam and see the sights and taste the food. I highly recommend this tour.
