Amsterdam Museum Tours

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.

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.

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.

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'.

The museum was very impressive and very well organised. The canal Cruise was amazing. We enjoyed every minute of it, because we had it in the evening when all the lights were on, and the commentary also included a variety of information that we wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

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.

Getting the tickets really cut out time in line waiting to get in. However, the info on the ticket was very confusing. It needs to state clearly that you get in line AT THE MUSEUM at your appointed time. The address for the canal ride needs to indicate that this is for the canal ride only - not where you meet for the museum.

Cruise very good although directions to get there poor. Van Gogh museum excellent despite bad-mannered fellow visitors (standing directly in front of pics blocking view). Don’t miss BRILLIANT Millet exhibition downstairs - plenty of Van Gogh there too.
