Van Gogh Museum Tours

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.

Our guide, Victoria, has a solid mastery of all things Van Gogh, and an infectious curiosity that leads to true appreciation for the personal and societal concerns that impacted the artist. Nearly as important, Victoria had the fortitude to lead our group directly through the throngs of ambling, photo-taking (and music-playing!) tourists right up to the art so that we could actually experience it as Van Gogh did (rather than hovering back in the cheap seats just hoping to get a brief glimpse). Victoria was able to actively engage with both Van Gogh novices and those who have clearly done a good bit of study, making the tour informative and entertaining for all. I've been on other tours with professorial guides and stuffy content, and this tour was thankfully the precise opposite of that. Highly recommend!

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'.

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.

My daughter and I had such a great experience with Rolf as our guide. He had so very much information and told us information we would not have received with an audio. He was prompt and we had no trouble meeting in front of the museum. He is truly an asset to your company. Would definitely recommend Rolf. Bravo!

The guide, i am not sure his name.. and Italian.. was excellent.. He not only knew a great deal about the paintings and the history, but he was friendly and helpful. By the time i got to the Van Gogh museum i could no longer walk. He got me a wheelchair and pushed me all through the museum. He helped us on the elevators and finding the facilities. He was the best. peace, Harriet

Rolf was an amazing tour guide thru the Van Gogh museum. His art history knowledge as well as Dutch history made the two hours very pleasant. We walked away with a wealth of information. Highly recommend taking this tour!

Paola was a knowledgeable and pleasant guide. While exploring the museum, I also learned much about the paintings and history of Amsterdam. One of the best guides I've had in the man cities I've visited.

We had a great tour with Rolf. He was very informative and pointed out so many things about the art it was very insightful. All three of us had a great time and he worked us through the crowd very well. It was great just being in a small group, gave up plenty of time to ask question. If you are going to the Van Gogh Museum .... go with Rolf !!

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.

Our guide (Hank) walked us right into the museum with no wait, he was well known by the museum staff. The original meeting place was a little unclear because we did the know the area, and it was about 300 yards from the entrance. But having an exclusive and experienced tour guide like Hank gave us enormous information and insight in a short period of time. For us it was worth the expense!

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.

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

I came to Amsterdam for Vince , I truly adore his work, some of his great work shown in thee Van Gogh museum and I love the presentation of his personal world described beautifully in the museum through his correspondence with Theo. Great experience, thank you! He lives forever in our hearts.

We had booked a small group tour (minimum two, max eight persons). Our guide, Faustina, was absolutely fantastic with her knowledge, and forthright access to the paintings - there was nothing about Vincent that she didn’t know. And to have get our group close and unobstructed access/viewing was really great!!! Her through life story and influences were very succinctly provided.

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 museum was great! Staff was very friendly & welcoming. Just keep in mind to take your card with you because the souvenir shops don’t always take payments in cash; but that’s not a big problem. It was one of the best experiences in my life for sure.

The audio guide is very user friendly and enhances my understanding and enjoyment when I stare at my favourite artworks to a different level! I am glad I purchased my ticket before I left for my trip. I wish the Vincent Van Gough museum ticket is included into the one day traveller pass. Thanks.

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.

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.
