Informative and enjoyable!

5.00This Van Gogh museum semi-private tour was informative and enjoyable with our tour guide Pedro. He was pleasant, patient, had great stories to share about Van Gogh’s life and artistic journey, which I won’t forget compared to the dull info with a museum self-audio guide. Pedro asked and answered a lot of questions from our small group and showed us cool extras about Van Gogh on his iPad. Spend the extra money and take this tour with Pedro!

5.00Let me say that Paola P. with Babylon Tours was so great during the Van Gogh tour that I rushed to book her for the Rijksmuseum tour the next day! I’ve never appreciated Van Gogh the way I did with Paola’s enthusiastic and knowledgeable guidance. She knows everything about Van Gogh’s life and art but beyond this, she’s weaving the story with social and economic life as well as artistic movements and influences. We had a small group of five and at the end of the tour, all of us were gushing about how fun and enlightening our experience was. If I could rate her six stars, I would!
Great tour for all ages.

5.00Anna N was fabulous! She told interesting stories about VanGogh that went above and beyond. I’ve never seen my 23 and 26 year old sons so enthusiastic about a museum experience. They both went on about how much they enjoyed Anna’s commentary.

5.00It lasted just the right amount of time. I wanted to learn more about Van Gough, but did not want a PhD in him. Anita Gosschalk Liemburg, our guide did a wonderful presentation with just enough information. She has extensive experience working for the museum before becoming a guide.

5.00Anita was so knowledgeable and helpful in giving a well rounded and informative presentation. I would take any tour she was giving. Excellent!! She not only had historical information and slides but also asked questions of our interpretation of the pieces. Best tour we’ve had in weeks of this trip!
