Kevin was our guide, he was great, he was super helpful and very friendly, we had pancakes with him at zaanse Schans. we enjoyed talking with him during our lunch. He took us to so many great spots and had interesting facts and he never hesitated when asked to take a photo. 10 out of 10. One of the best things we did while in Amsterdam

I found getting my ticket very difficult, a email came the day before with a tour guide name I didn’t know. I thought it was a spam email. At the museum my tour guide from the boat had to use her Wi-Fi, download an app to Retrieve the ticket. Without my tour guide I wouldn’t have been able to enter the Van Gogh museum.

Paintings looked so real and awesome and so real up close . Highly recommended to visit May pieces to look at.

The visit that was supposed to be a great experience turned into a total disappointment.
I booked several weeks in advance. According to Viator, I was informed that the ticket would be sent by email one day before the visit. On the same day as the visit, I tried all three provided options to retrieve the ticket, but none of them worked. A QR code was required for entry, and I was denied access.
One of the options was to receive the ticket as a PDF file. On my iPhone, PDF files can be found in the Files app, but there was nothing there.
A few days later, after returning home, I discovered that the ticket had been sent to the WhatsApp app — an application I hardly ever use. It had also been delivered by a Turkish third-party company that was never mentioned beforehand and was impossible to find any information about. Neither was the booking visible in the Viator App.
I had registered both my mobile number and my email address when making the purchase, and nowhere during the booking process or when selecting the ticket delivery method was it stated that this app would be used.
I am incredibly disappointed and strongly recommend that everyone book tickets directly through the museum’s own website rather than through intermediaries like Viator.
The price is twice as high compared with booking directly at the museeum home page.

This museum is gorgeous. We loved seeing a display of Vincent's work, and it's history. The only negative I can share is that many people seem to be there to just take a photo of the paintings, they weren't even looking at them. I liked to read the bio next to each painting and constantly had people stepping in front of me to take a photo. It definitely took away from the experience.
Dianne_P, Apr 2026
Great museum, however there are a lot of people, very crowded! Because it’s so crowded you need to be extremely patient in viewing the paintings.
Gary_R, Apr 2026
I was disappointed and frankly, resented, organized groups continually blocking my view of Van Gogh's timeless masterpieces. I understand the value and importance of providing the opportunity to educate interested groups, but it should never be at the expense of individuals.
Margaret_P, Apr 2026
One will not actually receive the museum tickets. Instead Viator sends the tickets to upload on one’s phone. The museum was great!
Carol_K, Apr 2026
Had difficulty getting in the museum. The info you sent me was not satisfactory for those monitoring the entrance door.
Lori_D, Apr 2026
Get the audio. When’s crowded you can still understand about the pictures on the wall. Yeah, oh yeah.
Kathryn_G, Apr 2026
Beautiful Museum showcasing Vincent Van Gogh’s artwork! Loved the audio tour that explained all the pictures so well. Easy ticket process.
Darlene_C, Apr 2026
this is absolutely wonderful. I wasnt even looking forward to it but really was glad I went. I would encourage it.
Andrea_G, Apr 2026
Definitely get the audio option. Excellent information that helps make the tour a deep learning experience.
Patricia_M, Apr 2026
The Van Gogh museum is really worth going to. My hearing impaired husband had no problem using the earphones and good quality clear sound and really interesting commentary helped us both enjoy the whole experience. Learned a lot more about van Gogh. It was a plus that the gift shops sold quality merchandise at reasonable prices. Also loved the sunflower cake at the cafe! Really delicious
Steve_W, Apr 2026
The museum was amazing and out ticket experience with Viator was seamless. We really enjoyed the trip.
Katherine_B, Apr 2026
Beautiful museum wonderful narration throughout with the self guided audio.
A bit too crowded made me anxious and rushed in a lot of the space.
Kevin_Y, Apr 2026
The tour was very well thought out including the current new exhibit on the Color yellow as well as the permanent exhibit following VaGogh’s life. It was interesting to see his family represented too. I liked the focus on a few pairings either time to see all we wanted to see.
Brian_H, Apr 2026
The museum was amazing!!
The audio guide was the perfect compliment and integral for appreciating the depth of Van Gogh, the person and artist.
Winston_C, Mar 2026
Beware!!! I got ripped off! Paid more than $50 for each ticket, double the price if you buy ticket direct from the museum's website and on other platforms such as Klook and Get Your Guide.
Casey_Q, Mar 2026
Audio helps Awesome museum excellent talent loved his relationship with brother Colors so vibrant must see
Kristin_L, Mar 2026
I'm not artsy but felt obligated to go to the museum because I was in Amsterdam. It was incredible!! The artwork was stunning and from a variety of artists.
louise_r, Mar 2026
Excellent. Beautifully displayed. Good cafe facilities. I suggest you opt for audio and all information available from this.
William_B, Mar 2026
Excellent but must buy tickets in advance to avoid lines. Take advantage of the free lockers for coats, purses etc. Plan time to linger at special paintings, for there are many. On-site restaurant is pricey and few choices. Audio tour is well worth the expense. Very enjoyable!
dianne_p, Mar 2026
Allow yourself plenty of time to enjoy the whole museum. I recommend the audio tour. Great experience.
Donna_E, Feb 2026
This was an amazing experience and very informative. I thoroughly enjoyed this museum. Make sure you get the audio.
Very helpfully.
susan_C, Jan 2026
I always love this museum - make sure to do the audio tour because you learn so much more about Van Gogh
Nicole_R, Dec 2025
They didn’t send the tickets in advance like usual, instead it was a download voucher pdf that didn’t go anywhere. The documents within said “this is not your ticket.” It was so unusual that the guards at the museum would not allow me and my friend to enter using the app nor email documents. They said I had been subject to a scam.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hello,
The document you received initially is the standard Viator voucher, which is automatically issued at purchase and clearly states it is **not an entry ticket**. Official Van Gogh Museum tickets are sent separately via Viator/email once issued.
According to our records, the official tickets were sent. If you experienced any confusion, please contact us directly with your booking number so we can review the case.
Adrienne_U, Dec 2025
Fun experience! Very interesting learning about the life of this exceptional painter. The museum was easy to navigate and not overwhelming.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback!
We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the audio guide and had a great experience at the Van Gogh Museum.
David_W, Dec 2025
Pictures speak for themselves but useful artistic narratives were helpful to explain the Artist’s state of mind at various stages of his work
Response from Host, Dec 2025
We appreciate your lovely comment — thank you for choosing our tour.
Haktan_R, Dec 2025
The ticket worked without any issues and the visit went smoothly. The Van Gogh Museum itself was really enjoyable — seeing the original works up close made the visit special. Overall, a simple and pleasant experience.
