So much to learn from this tour! - I lucked out to get a private tour from the very charming Geneviève who is an artist herself and a deeply thoughtful connoisseur of Van Gogh’s life and times. It was particularly impactful to take a chronological trip through Van Gogh’s life and see parallels in the evolution of his psychological state and painting styles and compositions. This is a special tour and I would recommend wholeheartedly.

Window into Van Gogh - Geneviève gave a perfectly paced and captivating tour. I highly recommend a small group or private tour with her for intimate discussions about the history & emotional journey of Van Gogh. I learned so much in the process. Many thanks for a wonderful tour.

Learn so much about Vincent - This was an amazing experience and one I will never forget. My first trip to Amsterdam and I have longed to see the Van Gogh Museum. Cecile was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide and weaved the temporary Impressionist Exhibition into the permanent exhibition. Fascinating. Cecile also told the story of Vincent and how fame had ultimately come to him after his death. The museum is the gift of the family to the State and his work has been looked after. A constant stream of new and interesting facts were provided by Cecile, just fabulous.
