The Van Gogh Museum was more than worth it, but the canal cruise was quite boring! We even upgraded to the Amsterdam Light Festival ticket for 8 euros/ticket and it was not worth the trip. I would have skipped the light tour altogether. If you want to go on a canal cruise I recommended to do it in the day time or better yet go on the tram and see the city... much cheaper and you see so much more of the city in a shorter time frame.

It was amazing to be able to view over 100 works of art painted by Vincent Van Gogh and learn about his life. Pre- booking is essential as there are only a few time slots to view the museum on offer if you have not ordered your tickets online in advance. For example we arrived at the Van Gogh Museum at 11.15am and the next free slot would have been 3.15 in the afternoon, but fortunately we had pre-booked.

Well worth visiting. Knowing more about the artist, his life and particularly the messages in his work were very interesting, enlightening and moving. We spent four hours at the museum so that itself says a lot! Audio not included so a bit misleading in the information. This was an extra cost. The canal trip was fabulous and this did include the audio.

Didn't use museum voucher, was concerned where and how to convert to ticket, so went online after contacting your site and bought timed entry ticket direct from VanGogh Museum. Did enjoy cruise when I discovered we could change the voucher and board right across the street from our hotel at Museumplein location.

Canal cruise: headset in local language was good, but there was two sources of information: headset in local language + guide in english. Information from the guide was very interesting but the mix of two information channels - sometimes even overlapping - was confusing. This should be optimized.

This ticket was worth the cost. The museum was wonderful but very crowded as it was a holiday. We were able to enter immediately. The canal cruise was better than expected. The head phones allowed passengers to be informed. The boat was full and the canals busy be at of the holiday.

Worked well for us. Went straight to ticket office in Damrak central Amsterdam and got a boarding ticket for cruise. Decent one hour cruise to get a good feel of city from waterline level. Van Gogh ticket was essential as we saw walk-ups being turned away and told 'booked all week'.

I loved the Van Gogh museum and learnt such a lot about him as an artist, from which artists and models inspired him. I was surprised at many things he did and was interested in finding out about his family and those that influenced him. Amazing man but full of tragedy.

interactive audio tour is pretty good, easy to understand. the museum ranges over 4 floors, so can be a little log winded. lots to see. only downside is the interactive audio doesn't cover all the art. quite spacious and other museums near by, such as banksy events.

If we didn't buy the museum ticket from this site we wouldn't be able to access the museum. the people in the queue outside informed him that it was Sold out and that there was no way to buy a ticket for the Sunday we went, so fortunately we bought it

Take a spectacular one-hour cruise through the historic canal district with a visit to the world-famous Van Gogh Museum. The world's largest collection of Vincent van Gogh artwork can be found at the Van Gogh Museum. Millions of people have visited it, making it one of the Netherlands' most important museums. A thrilling boat cruise is the ideal way to conclude a fun day trip to the Van Gogh Museum.

A visit to the Van Gogh Museum, home to the world's largest collection of paintings, drawings, sketches, and letters by the well-known Dutch painter is just one half of the tour. It is the second most popular museum in the Netherlands and definitely a must-see with nearly two million visitors annually. More than 200 paintings, 400 drawings and 700 letters by the famous artist are on display at the Van Gogh Museum. Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette (1886), The Potato Eaters (1885), as well as Almond Blossoms (1890) and Sunflowers (1889) are among the collection's most well-known works.

An Amsterdam canal cruise is included in the other half of the package. An Amsterdam canal cruise is the best way to see the beautiful city center of Amsterdam, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The entertaining one-hour cruise will take you through the city's most important canals, passing magnificent churches, boat houses, mansions and bridges from the 17th century. The Magere Brug on the Amstel river, the Negen Straatjes district and the Westerkerk church are just a few of the best places to see. The cruise has a GPS guide that has an information in few languages. The boats have panoramic windows so you can see a great deal of the city.
