Outstanding! We're not likely to encounter another guide with such expertise for a very long time, if ever.

"Alette was a fantastic guide. Knowledge, mature and went at our pace. I knew little of Van Gough this morning and now feel I could give a Ted talk on his life and that of his family. A remarkable experience." – Eric

Another 5-Star Guide experience for us, this time in Amsterdam!
Alette is an extremely knowledgeable and personable Guide. I would recommend a tour with her to any one, any time. She was a great Guide and teacher.
We learned much from her, and she was able to talk with us right on our level, from a PhD-level fund of knowledge, which allowed us to maximize our experience.

Having a tour of Van Gogh with Agnes was such a valuable and illuminating experience! There are so many stories of Van Gogh in popular culture - along with a few select works of his - that can create a one-dimensional image of the artist. Agnes dispelled all these myths, using (but not relying on) the Museum to help us understand the emotional and psychological evolution and motivations of Van Gogh over the course of his life and how it was manifested in his art (most prominently in the last 10 years of his life). She also did a great job of explaining why Van Gogh became part of the art historical canon - and pop culture mythology. She made visiting the Museum a true learning experience!
