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...

Very interesting to see and didn't expect to learn this much about the museum, the paintings and the history. Definitely wirth visiting if you are in Amsterdam!

Really enjoyed this Van...

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.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your review! We're really happy you enjoyed the Van Gogh tour and that the guide helped bring the paintings and his story to life.

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.

Van Gogh 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

Todo estuvo espectacular, nuestro guía Eduardo siempre estuvo atento y resolviendo nuestras preguntas, así mismo siempre atento en que aprendieron sobre las obras y vida de Vincent Van Gogh . Muy agradecido con Eduardo.
