What to expect

Expect a character-led street experience rather than a conventional walking tour. An actor embodying Van Gogh leads you through the town, stopping outside significant buildings and sites. You'll hear first-hand accounts of his struggles—financial hardship, rejection, illness—and his relationship with Theo, interspersed with details about specific paintings and the creative energy that drove him. The tour culminates at the cemetery. This isn't a museum visit; you remain outdoors observing exteriors whilst the narrative unfolds around you.
