Fun Filled Art Gallery Tour with Super Sylvia!!

My husband and I are huge art lovers and we’re so happy to have booked this tour. Our guide, Sylvia, was such a sweet and knowledgeable guide. Not only did she teach us a lot about Van Gogh, she kept the tour very interactive and fun. You can tell she was very excited to welcome the visitors to the tour and make sure we all had fun. Highly recommend!

Thank you Kiran

Our guide, Kiran, gave an excellent guided tour of the Van Gogh museum. He was very informative and knowledgeable. He kept our small group moving along, but had time to ask and answer questions. I’m very glad that we had a guide vs just listening to the audio listening device from the museum, it made a big difference in my understanding and appreciation for the museum.
