    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.

    I booked my Van Gogh guided tour for March 28. I took a picture of my booking for March 28. On March 27 at 1 PM I received an email stating that my tour would start at March 27 at 10:30. We did not arrive in Amsterdam until March 28, thus the booking for the 28th We went to the specified meeting point on 28th to work it out with the guide. No one there! Call the number on the ticket, but he could not help us. No tours available while we were in Amsterdam. I would like a refund of my money. As I said, I took a picture of my booking for the 28th. Please contact me at 513-259-5553.
