Van Gogh w Liz - Toured the Van Gogh with Liz. She is an excellent guide with fantastic art and history knowledge. She will also whisk you around a very crowded museum to all of the important paintings. Highly recommend!

Van Gogh with Liz - Liz is a great guide! We have done many museum tours and we absolutely loved her tour. She has phenomenal knowledge of both art and history. She was also able to give many details on Van Gogh’s family. The museum was very crowded but she expertly navigated us around. Highly recommend

Excellent Von Gogh Museum guided tour with a friendly and professional art historian - The Van Gogh Museum guided tour with Stan was excellent, very interesting and informative. He showed me Von Gogh’s works in his different life stages, also gave me the background stories and revealed some technical details. Now I have a much more understanding why I have seen so many different styles of Von Gogh’s paintings before, that’s because the artist had been kept trying and evolving his own style and techniques. Stan’s introductions are clear and precise. He gave me enough information to absorb but not overwhelming. I am very thankful for what I have learned today. Also need to mention that this should be a group tour, but I was the only person there. Lucky me :) Stan was very friendly and professional, didn’t neglect me because of this at all.

Liz has a friendly and genuine style that I think is perfect for any kind of group and for all ages. My money was well spent to truly understand the fundamentals of Van Gogh, his art, and the history of the collection. I highly recommend Liz as a tour guide!

Amazing tour - We highly recommend the tour of the Van Gogh museum with Cécile! She was wonderful- she really brought Van Gogh alive for us, sharing his human story alongside context for his world when he was painting. She generously shared her wealth of knowledge- a trip highlight for sure for me and teenage kids!

Cécile was a fantastic guide - Cécile was a fantastic guide. She walked us through the life of Van Gogh and provided insight into many of his works. We got way more out of touring with her than if we had gone through the museum on our own. Highly recommend, thanks Cécile!!
