Wonderful small group tour - We had a wonderful tour with Martina. I am very thankful we booked a small group tour. We only had four people on our tour.! The museum was very crowded, but Martina sequenced her tour to take us to paintings as the crowds thinned in each area. She had images on an iPad to show us background information about the influences on Van Gogh’s painting. I am not normally an “art museum person”, but Martina educated me on Van Gogh, his influencers and his influence on other artists. I now have a much better understanding and appreciation of his work. Thank you, Martina!

van Gogh guided tour, 4 people. - Excellent guide, Giovanni. Very knowledgeable, considerate and kind. We learned a lot about van Gogh’s personal history which was showcased through his extensive works. Giovanni highlighted the stylistic changes exhibited by van Gogh and how he was influenced by the Masters and his contemporaries.

Wonderful Van Gogh Tour! - Wonderful and very informative!! Answered all of our questions and gave us SO much more than we could have imagined!! She was on time and knew how to navigate the museum. Martina expertly helped us get close to the paintings and understand Vincent’s technique and personal history with each piece.

A tiring and only somewhat enjoyable experience. - Our guide was very knowledgeable but seemed much to interested in spouting out a lot of facts then in making our tour entertaining. This made an already long tour (90 minutes) seem much longer.
