Fascinating tour of Van Gogh Museum - Birgitte was truly passionate and provided so much background, context, and detail that wouldn’t have gotten if I went to the museum alone. It really made me appreciate the art much more!

An Amazing Museum - The communication prior to our excursion were informative and timely. We met our guide, Maria, at the location and time which were clearly provided by the tour company. Maria had such passion and knowledge of the paintings and artists that we saw. Her enthusiasm and descriptions of the artwork were so appreciated. This was an amazing experience.
