Great Trip - This trip was more than we expected. It was a real Van Gogh emersion. The exact location of some of the places he painted specific pieces was an unusual connection to a painter. The Roman antiquities were a convenient bounce. We enjoyed our guide who was very good and very french which added a lot to the overall experience.

Excellent - Our tour guide was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable.. We learned a lot about Provence on the tour. He went above and beyond showing us extra sites that were not on the tour.

Interesting, informative and relaxing - This tour would be hard to do on your own and probably require a lot of research. It makes sense to let someone as generous, knowledgeable and friendly as Ghislain take you privately around in the comfort of a van to stop and see places and spaces where Van Gogh painted quite a few pieces. The hospital was excellent to visit. The key places in Arles were also good. If you’re looking for a day trip to Arles you could always begin with this tour in the morning and then stay for the afternoon and catch the train back to Avignon yourself. Thank you Ghislain. You were excellent!

Thank you Sylvia! - Had a wonderful time (despite the heatwave!) exploring the art history of Provence. We stopped at Arles and St-Remy de Provence, but saw miles of beautiful countryside in-between. Our guide, Sylvia, was incredible! Her knowledge of Van Gogh and the region's history was amazing, and she made the tour feel very personalised to us. So grateful! As English speakers, the tour was very well adapted to help us get the best experience and Sylvia's English was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone interested in Van Gogh, or just new to the area. Thank you!

Van Gogh beautiful - I really enjoyed seeing all the places Van Gogh lived. However, the facilitator gave more information in English than in French. My husband doesn't understand English.
