Four of us will be in Paris in mid-October and are looking for a private or small group tour to Auvers on one of the days. The one advertised on TripAdvisor through Best of France appears not to be available then, so would love some other recommendations. We want to avoid the multiple train transfers to get there on our own on weekdays. A guided tour of the Van Gogh related sites would be great but even if not, any private transportation suggestions?
Thanks.

We were there as part of a river cruise. It's a very small village easy to walk around and see all the sights related to Van Gogh. Very nice plaques with reproductions of his pictures in front of the actual locations they were painted. The museum is tiny. Basically just his bedroom.
Viator has a combined tour with Giverny which we also saw. Definitely a highlight on that cruise. It's a bit pricey but small group, hotel pickup and lunch included. They may have others as well.
Also in Auvers is the Absinthe museum which was small but very interesting. Ours included a tasting which I don't recommend. Think pond water.
