Our tour guide Cecilia was excellent. She was informative and provided so much depth about Van Gogh and his life. I’m so glad we took this guided tour instead of simply doing an audio tour.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave a good understanding of Van Gogh personally and the influences of the late 19th century-lots of standing-wear good shoes.

We arrived at our meeting point a little early, but our guide, Birgitte, was already there. She greeted us with a friendly smile and explained the details of our tour. Once inside, Birgitte, led us on a journey about the artist and the man, Vincent Van Gogh. Her education in art history and her in depth knowledge of Van Gogh was incredible and we learned many things about him we had not known before. Overall, a great tour and perspective about Van Gogh that is well worth your time and money
