5.00A spectacular and remarkable tour through the gallery of Van Gogh’s portfolio, made all the better by Martina, our tour guide. Martina’s passion for the arts radiated in every word, and she ensured we had a comfortable, delightful experience the whole way. If it weren’t for her expertise, my family and I wouldn’t have ever known the depth of Vincent’s masterful masterpieces.
Great tour

5.00I absolutely loved this guided tour. I learned so much, that I never would have learned otherwise, and gained a greater appreciation for the art and artist! The group was the perfect size, 5-6 people, and in such a busy place, our guide got us right up close to all the pieces. Our guide, Martina, was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend the guided tour!

Amazing Tour Guide, Even Better Human

5.00Gauthier, our tour guide, went above and beyond to make our tour special, including when our daughter had a minor medical incident at the end of the tour. (She has an issue with low blood pressure from time to time, and our fast-paced travel caught up to her after a few days, causing her to faint. She is now fully recovered.) He was patient and kind, and helped us coordinate with museum staff to make sure she was ok. Before that excitement, he did an excellent job of showing us around the museum and giving us insightful commentary on Van Gogh’s life and body of work. I know for a fact we had a much richer experience at the museum due to his guidance, and if you have more than a passing interest in Van Gogh (or an obsession, like our family haha!) highly recommend using him as a tour guide. Thank you, Gauthier!
Go. You will enjoy
