Amazing tour by Liz - Liz gave an excellent tour for our group. Her way of presenting information and enunciating with care as she spoke allowed for us to follow the tour smoothly. We had a great time learning about not only the paintings and art style, but also the general timeline and history of Van gogh and the type of life he lived while he was alive. The tour itself was an immersive experience as Liz shared valuable insight and backstories behind how each of Van Gogh’s famous paintings came to be! We would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in really exploring deeper into Van Gogh’s paintings and his life.
