I loved the Van Gogh museum and learnt such a lot about him as an artist, from which artists and models inspired him. I was surprised at many things he did and was interested in finding out about his family and those that influenced him. Amazing man but full of tragedy.

Jorge was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Koln & Antwerp. It was a long day, but it was a fun adventure. I would highly recommend this tour with Jorge. One caveat is there is a lot of walking. It's fine if you're average fitness or better.

Be sure to give yourself enough time to fully explore the museum... I spent three hours there and found myself rushing towards the end coz i was pressed for time with another place to be at. Also quick tip would be to go straight to the second floor and then make your way down...

The museum is fantastic and has an amazing collection -sadly they do not have Start Night or the Night Cafe but they have so many others and a great narrative to follow as you go through the museum. The canal ride was nice and we appreciated the rest after so much sightseeing.

The trip from Amsterdam was a bit long but well worth the wait. My tour guide Alistair was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He explained the history of Bruges while we wandered around, stopping at all the “must sees”(architecture, artwork, shops, restaurants, etc). It was a great introduction to this beautiful medieval city. Can’t wait to go back!

This was a great trip through the various canals that house the Light Festival art installations. Both the captain and host were fantastic, knowledgeable, and attentive, especially with the free drinks! It's well worth it to see Amsterdam in a different light during one of the great times of the year. Plus, the snow was a bonus that made everything more beautiful!

Our guide was amazed at how well he explained every step of Van Gogh's life in parallel with his painting. In addition, the communication style was vibrant and entertaining.

Night Cruise was amazing Daphnie (not sure how to spell it) from Luxembourg was an amazing cruise host. She made the experience so memorable! I have been on multiple canal cruises and would recommend flagstaff purely because of her, so much joy, so many laughs and an all Round amazing human being

Information about the red light district was great. Our guide Marian Williams responded very well to all of our questions and answered them all. We would have liked to have been able to take a look behind the scenes (e.g. into a sex workers' room), since the tour also has the title: "Behind closed curtains"

Our guide, Victoria, has a solid mastery of all things Van Gogh, and an infectious curiosity that leads to true appreciation for the personal and societal concerns that impacted the artist. Nearly as important, Victoria had the fortitude to lead our group directly through the throngs of ambling, photo-taking (and music-playing!) tourists right up to the art so that we could actually experience it as Van Gogh did (rather than hovering back in the cheap seats just hoping to get a brief glimpse). Victoria was able to actively engage with both Van Gogh novices and those who have clearly done a good bit of study, making the tour informative and entertaining for all. I've been on other tours with professorial guides and stuffy content, and this tour was thankfully the precise opposite of that. Highly recommend!
