Really enjoyed this tour of the two major sites of importance for Vincent Van Gogh’s life and art. Our guide Silvia was very engaging and knowledgeable about history and architecture which was a real bonus for learning about development of Arles. Would highly recommend.

Our tour guide Emmanuel was excellent, and he provided a ton of information about the local area, geography, history, etc. The landscape was beautiful, and it was nice to be able to explore both the hospital and Arles on our own. With this itinerary, it did sometimes feel a bit rushed, but it was a great introduction to the area.

Emile was a fantastic host, and was very knowledgeable. It was a very enjoyable experience with a lot of discussions and conversations about Van Gough and the locations he took us to. We will be highly reommending for all our friends to take this tour when they come across to Europe.
