By requiring me to go to the office to change my ticket for the canal tour, with both activities taking place on the same day (museum and canal tour), I was unable to do both activities on the same day, so I only had time to visit the museum and missed the canal tour. They should give you a direct ticket like the museum ticket so you can do your canal tour activity.

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.

In relation to the Van Gogh museum, we didn't purchase a headset during our visit but you can literally read up on all the art and know the history of Van Gogh as the information was on the wall next to the picture. Museum is spread over 4 floors so if you had the headset it will direct you to the hanging picture that has number next to it but as we didn't we often travel in the wrong direction. This for me was not a problem as each picture has a different story to tell. As for the canal trip, we had in ear headphone provided for us so knew all the history. Very interesting to know the history so highly recommend. Give yourself plenty of time between the canal trip and the Van Gogh museum as they are not near each other.

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.

Planned a one day trip to Amsterdam for a birthday. Although we had to book the canal cruise upon arrival, the planning and explanation on the booking was very practical. We had no surprises and still had plenty of time leftover in our day to visit the city. The cruise was great and the museum, even as crowded as it was, ended being just what any Van Gogh enthusiast would hope the experience to be.

The only thing i have to underline Is that no skip the line ticket exists actually to access Van Gogh' s Museum. But we entered without problems...Furthermore i want to say that the boat trip was wonderful, especially thanks to the boatman and his talkative personality! Thank you again!

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'.

To get into the museum, you skip the ticket line but still need to get in que to enter. We picked 9:15am slot and lucked out with much smaller crowds and very enjoyable visit. We also visited the temporary exhibits. We enjoyed lunch after and took our time to cross the town for the boat tour. It was very informative, relaxing and nice. Definitely recommend this package.

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.
