“The guide…I forget his name, tall Dutch guy, was worth the money. His k owl edge of art history, historical context, and his own professional critical thoughts made the tour particularly interesting and insightful. The 8:30am tour was great bc it starts while the city is still a bit quiet, so easy to grab a bite to eat before hand and easy to find the tour guides and get organized. Organizers were great. Wish I could remember the guides name.”
