    I'm so glad I did this small group guided tour. We learned so much about Van Gogh's progession as an artist and how his personal life influenced his painting. I highly recommend this tour as it was so much better than just walking through a museum on your own. Our guide was engaging and knowledgeable, and had answers to any questions we had. The only negative was that there were many in our group that had misinformation about our meeting point, which meant we waited quite a while to start the tour. Not the guide's fault and I felt bad that she took the criticism for that.
