The free audio tour was great. The art was wonderful. Brilliant colors. Tragic end to Van Gogh’s life.

Brilliant experience and definitely recommend using the audio guide. The layout was well set out but the only thing is it is very busy so you have to sit back and take things slow waiting for a space to open up to see things.

Masterpiece!

Franco_E, Oct 2026
The museum is excellent as expected. Nearly all of Van Gogh's famous work are exhibited with the exception of "Starry Night" which is in New York. The issue I had was the provider was the lack of ticket/QR code necessary to enter the museum. Instead of a quick entrance, I had to queue on a separate line in order for the museum staff to verify my reservation since I did not receive a ticket/QR code from the provider.

Tough to get the tixs!!

Jay_D, Oct 2026
Confusion with jow to finally get the tixs. It said we had to pick them up a venue, which was wrong. Then I tried to find Viator booth or meeting place shown on the app. NOBODY. After several attempts, we finally found them through the app. Very confusing

Unbelievable artist, great venue!

Allen_P, Oct 2026
Seeing the incredible art work of this master painter was awesome! I had no idea how great this guy really was.

Museum trip

John_H, Oct 2026
I stupidly printed only one ticket. Lucky I could find the tickets on my phone. Viator send me the tickets several times. The audio option was worth the extra cost. My wife liked the trip.

Van Gogh Museum is a must in Amsterdam. Book ahead.

Jennifer_L, Oct 2026
Get the audio devices! It takes about two hours to walk through the entire museum room by room with the audio devices. It gives so much information, and it's nice to have the visual on the device versus just listening to a Tour Guide. Our two cents.

An Amsterdam Must See

David_V, Oct 2026
Absolutely get the audio tour- it gives you an in-depth description of the paintings. Very comprehensive history of Van Gogh’s personal life and evolution as an artist.

Avoid the crowds!!!!!!!

Mona_S, Sep 2026
Avoid the crowded time. The museum was too packed to view and enjoy the artwork. People walking in front of me, bumping into me and just rudely cutting into the viewing lines.

Great experience Van Gogh Museum

Kennedy_P, Aug 2026
Visited the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. Lots to see and a beautiful experience. I highly recommend seeing the collection.

Great service great value

Michael_G, Aug 2026
Better description of where entrance to museum is would be helpful. Beyond that they made my trip to the Van Gough museum a total sucess!

Museum great but accessing tickets online challenging

Pamela_R, Aug 2026
We were almost turned away from the museum. The ticket voucher was not accepted by the museum. It was difficult to access the real tickets. Phone screen kept going from Trip Advisor to Viator and downloads . Finally found the tickets. It was a frustrating and embarrassing experience. The museum itself was great.

the self guided tour was...

Eileen_P, Aug 2026
the self guided tour was excellent! the audio guide was not included but we would highly recommend to purchase it for a small fee to enhance the experience.

Nice!

TravelKel, Aug 2026
Nice collection and audio tour. Very draconian about handbags of most sizes - free lockers available. Lots of Van Gogh shopping. Great location and lots to do nearby.

Van Gogh was fun

Flaca1107, Aug 2026
It was very easy to get into the museum and having an audio guide explaining every detail was very helpful. My 9 year old was very engaged and we were able to walked the whole museum. I recommend this experience very highly.

Go see this now!

Thomas_W, Aug 2026
Amazing. To be able to stand that close to one of the greatest artist ever was overwhelming. I was touched on so many levels.

Lovely to see all the Van Gogh paintings. Lifts to all floors made getting around easy. Good gift shops. Light and airy building

Busy place

Mark_R, Jun 2026
Went at 10:30 on a summer day. Though the museum was well run, it was too crowded to truly enjoy the experience.

Excellent experience.....

Salimah_M, Jun 2026
Excellent experience.. this was a great place to visit. Truly a must to come with family and friends

For having a set time...

Rachel_k, Jun 2026
For having a set time slot it was way to overcrowded around each painting (understandable) to fully enjoy the art work. But it was nice to see some of the original paintings done by him and his letters as well.

A must-do in Amsterdam!

Tara_V, May 2026
The museum was so well organized and easy to navigate. It brought tears to my eyes the whole time. We figured an hour but took 2 1/2! I wouldn’t pass this experience up!

Van Gogh Museum tix and audio guide

Pamela_M, May 2026
Obtaining my iix and audio guide was essential to learning about VanGogh’s life and artistic journey. Very satisfied.

Exceptional

msandos, May 2026
Lon our tour guide was very informative and had a great personality. He was entertaining and told many details. He was very nice and one of the best tours we have been on. Definitely request Lon for your guide! .

Very good experience. Artist in all sense.

anita_s, May 2026
Very interesting. Go early, a lot of people. One tour lady didn’t have a headset and neither did her group. As a result she was yelling and disturbed everyone else.

Great museum

Sandra_E, May 2026
Great museum - audio was good info but instructions on how to use not great. Had it on overview and not full for half museum - had to go back and catch up once I figured it out.

10 out of 10

Linda_C, Apr 2026
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

The Van Gogh

Beverly_S, Apr 2026
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.

Amazing art exhibit

Erik_U, Apr 2026
Paintings looked so real and awesome and so real up close . Highly recommended to visit May pieces to look at.
