Martine elevated our visit to the Van Gogh museum and made it a fantastic visit. We learned even more about Van Gogh during this return trip to the museum. The depth of knowledge and efficient delivery of information, comparisons and thoughtful questions kept us thoroughly engaged. Thank you for the tour.
