Rhi Smith did a fantastic job as tour director and Domenico was a great amazing driver.
Very busy tour but covered so much and learnt so much about each country
The BEST………compared with other offered by different companies. Coming to Bergen bordering the scenic west cost after “jumping” by ferry from Denmark, was a beautiful experience!
Our trip today was incredible. Because of your organization and putting the right people in place, we were able to experience another culture and world so different from ours.
Our driver, Manuel, was wonderful and such a lovely man. We would like to be neighbors to he and his wife . He not only drive us to Tarifa, but walked with us through the town. Then ushered us to the ferry, waited for us to return, and took us back to our hotel. Mohammad, our guide in Tangier was very well versed on the world on which he was raised, and offered us insights into the past and present of his culture and country. Very enjoyable!
The Van Gogh museum is unique as we are able to dive in the complex mind of a painter in a time of great change. Through the different steps in his career, in Holland, Paris, Arles or Saint Remi we see a dramatic evolution of an artist in constant search for himself and for the world. And this in a carreer that lasted only 9 years. The only advantage about only selling one painting in his whole career is his legacy: An astonishing collection of 200 works that enables us to meet the most puzzling painter of his time.
We will have 2 hours to explore the entire collection. Mostly in small groups there will be space for questions and as the artist still remains a mystery, discussion. More than only a tour about an artist, it is a tour about what it means to be an artist and what approach artists have towards the world that surrounds them.
