Really enjoyed this Van Gogh Museum tour. It made the visit so much more meaningful than just walking through on our own. The guide did an excellent job explaining the stories behind the paintings and gave a lot of insight into Van Gogh’s life and you could tell he was passionate about the art. Definitely worth doing if you like art.

Well worth it!

I was able to book last minute tickets to the Van Gogh Museum through this vendor. I had almost given up sinceI could not find available tickets any where for the following day. Until I came upon these. A little steep in price but the museum was well worth it.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you! Happy you were able to secure last-minute tickets and enjoy the museum experience.

For the price I felt it was overpriced. But for a venue that was sold out it was the only option left.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your point, however this is a last minute ticket that we source when the museum is totally sold out.

First time at museum

The museum is a must when in Amsterdam, so much amazing artwork to see. Get the audio guide so you can learn about the history of the artist.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thanks for your review! Happy you enjoyed the museum and all the amazing artwork.

Great time and very much...

Marcell_C, Apr 2026

Great time and very much enjoyed the experience. Be aware of the multiple stairs and floors to visit.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the museum experience and found it worthwhile.

Museum wonderful, ticket experience dreadful.

Peter_H, Apr 2026

Museum was amazing, but tickets ( digital and paper versions) could not be scanned at the Museum entrance. The staff said they had been experiencing this problem before with Viator-purchased tickets. They let us in anyway, but it gave me pause for future use of the app.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

As explained on your voucher we will send you the tickets manually and your Viator voucher is not the entrance ticket to go inside the museum. We had sent you the tickets of the museum two days before by email, text and WhatsApp.

Very interesting to see...

Van Gogh was at the museum, but the private tour guide was not

David_W, Oct 2025

This tour description says the following are included: “Private tour guide”, “Entrance tickets to the museum”, and “Entry/admission - Van Gogh museum” The tour operator sent a message saying to go inside the museum, not the meeting point in the description. I assumed someone would meet inside. I sent a message asking for clarification, but got no response. I decided to just tour the museum on my own. About 90 minutes later the tour operator sent a message saying that I got what I booked. I responded that was not correct, because the description clearly stated a “private tour guide”. The museum was nice, but I wasted a large amount of money. If I had booked a ticket directly with the museum, I would have saved about $85 ($35 vs $120)! If this is how Trigger Tours operates their business, Viator should reconsider their partnership. For future travel, I will book directly with the museum.

Did not know we were getting a "private" tour. Ended up having to get out of line to museum to meet guide a block away so we could get in "another special line". We had to go back to original line. Some good information from guide inside museum but could have done it ourselves. Also very costly.

Don't get sick after cancelation period

Ray_R, Apr 2025

I did not go to the museum I fell ill and lost out My wife and I were so disappointed because we could not rebook

Go Van Gogh!!!

Guillermo_P, Sep 2023

The museum is spectacular! The tour guide for this private tour was on time, new the artworks in detail, and really enjoyed talking about it! I’d you like an Gogh. This is the place to go!!! Highly recommend it!

Fabulous

Manuel_M, Apr 2026

It's fantastic, but you have to catch the TIKETS in time, if you don't get the ticket for a fortune, like I did.
