5-Star tour by Victoria!! I can't even imagine visiting the Van Gogh without her; it would be overwhelming. Victoria's depth of knowledge about the life of Van Gogh brings his paintings to life! The best tour of any museum I have ever had.

Our guide Anna was well-prepared with materials to provide an understanding of Van Gogh’s challenges and artistic influences. Not artists, we appreciated the perspectives and time spent comparing his progression of painting techniques. Very interesting!

Our guide was fantastic. The way she engaged with our group was informative, educated and fascinating! The story of Van Gogh’s life as an artist from childhood until his death as told by Cecile was wonderful. Highly recommend this tour .

Jacopo was the most wonderful guide at the Van Gogh Museum. Full of knowledge, colorful anecdotes, engaging delivery, fantastic enunciation, and his reddish beard was on theme.
