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.

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'.

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.

Don’t miss this if you’re in Amsterdam! Definitely worth the visit. Plan 2h for the permanent exhibition on order to understand everything and take advantage of the audioguide and an additional 45min for the temporary exhibition-we saw Klimt and loved it!

Before you dismiss the idea of paying for a guide, in our experience it was worth every penny. Our guide, Mila, was excellent very knowledgeable and passionate about Van Gogh. She took us on a tour of the museum and told us all about the history behind the paintings as well as the family history of Van Gogh. It was worth every penny. At the end of the tour we were free to go back around the museum and revisit the highlights. Thanks Mila it was great to meet you.

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.

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!

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.

Shorter than expected but guide was excellent and knowledgeable. Booked thinking it would be only for 2 of us, which given the price seemed reasonable. Surprised then to be sharing tour with a group.

Rolf is well studied in Van Gogh’s life, works and techniques. He speaks perfect English (having lived in NYC), and was able to quickly gauge our group’s intersest and tailor our visit accordingly. This is a very busy museum, particularly in the Summer, and having a guide like Rolf to manage your time, focusing on the interesting and important pieces was invaluable. Highly recommend!

the van gogh museum is very good, the museum is very well done, a treat. On the other hand, the boat trip is not great. the company, does not fit into the heart of Amsterdam. we bypass the center, we go outside Amsterdam and the port. announced for 90 minutes we did 75 minutes, we covered kilometres, but we didn't see much. rather take the walk in the city center in 1 hour for €13 with another company!

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!

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 !!

I was initially hesitant to sign up as I really just wanted a ticket for the museum. However, I am now so happy that I took the tour. I think I got so much more out of the museum experience with the guide than I would have on my own. Janet was an excellent tour guide and a wealth of information on Van Gogh’s life, family, and his art. I really loved every moment.

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.

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.

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 tour was very good, There were a lots of Van Gogh's art collection in the museum, especially the sun flowers. Our guide was very knowledgeable about his art works and his life stories behind many of his paintings, She explained many of Van Gogh's paintings with detailed background stories, and his relationship with other artists. Even we read books about Van gogh before, we still learned a lot from it. We highly recommend this tour for anyone is interested about Van Gogh.

It was a great museum to get acquainted with Van Gogh's work. Beautifully curated, I was able to see how thoughtfully they placed each piece if work to tell the ultimate story of Van Gogh. Showing the ticket provided via the app was effortless and hassle free. Glad to have done it.
