Van Gogh means GO!!! - The Van Gogh Museum tour is a MUST if traveling to Amsterdam and Victoria with Babylon Tours was AMAZING! Her in-depth full immersion of all things Vincent Van Gogh was thoroughly educational, inspiring and very depth. To tour the museum is one thing, to tour it with Victoria is an altogether different experience! She’s invested in your education of art and her passion comes through on the tour. Please GO!!!
