A great way to do two important museums in a half day! - A great tour of two museums with too many works to realistically see in one day. Jo was very knowledgeable and personable; and it's great to have someone who knows cull out the important works. She was very patient and accommodating and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Flexible and Informative Guide - Clare was an amazing tour guide. She was able to accommodate the other people in our group who needed to leave early and not make the tour feel rushed. She spent time answering all our questions and provided information that we would not have known otherwise. I would highly recommend the tour and Clare. It was a highlight of our trip.

In-depth info about Van Gogh's life - Jo was a great guide who gave lots of perspective not only on Van Gogh's painting style and influences but also about the man himself. From his somewhat misplaced adulation of Gaughin to his trouble with women and his experience with the early day sof psychology, it was a fascinating way to approach the art. Despite the museum being crowded, we got a truly wonderful experience that we could not have had without Jo. I recommend her tour very highly.
