Showcased many of van gogh's self portraits, his irises in a vase, and many of his lesser known paintings. Sunflowers was in a temporary exhibit. The audio tour was very informative and interesting, allowing you to hear about his life and specific paintings. Loved it! Pictures were allowed.

Great Experience.

Barry_M, Dec 2025
Get the audio device. It’s a huge difference. Also, tour being broken up into different eras of Van Gogh’s life was pretty cool.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hi Barry, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're glad you enjoyed it. God bless you.

I trust Viator for bookings always!

Renae_C, Dec 2025
We booked with Viator after all tickets were sold out! A few hours after booking my tickets arrived via what’s app with a little message giving me a slightly altered time slot which was perfectly fine

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hi Renae, We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us and thank you so much for trusting Viator and choosing us. We count ourselves lucky for customers like you. God bless you.

Seeing this many of his works of art in one museum is a treat and the audio tour was informative and moving.

Hi Renee, Thank you so much for your feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. God bless you.

Gap in Viator Customer Service

Kristin_O, Dec 2025
Museum was evacuated just prior to our entry time. They could not tell us why or how long it would be until it re-opened. We tried going back multiple times the same day but they could not give us any information if the museum would re-open that day. We eventually gave up rather than spending our entire day waiting. Viator sold these as non-refundable and we cannot find my way to inquire about a refund given this was not within our control.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hi Kristin, We don't know what happened at the museum on 12th December; that's beyond our control. You received tickets from us on Viator messenger and also on your WhatsApp; however, you didn't contact us on that day about your evacuation. We sell nonrefundable tickets due to the last-minute cancellations. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience you faced.

Life of Van Gogh

Excellent presentation of Van Gogh’s life and his works from his earliest years through the various changes he made.

Van Gogh Museum

Michelle_T, Nov 2025
Great museum. We did the self walking audio tour. It was very informative and interesting. We only had time for the permanent collection. Will have to come back to see whatever temporary one is there.

Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for your feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. God bless you.

Van Gough

William_D, Nov 2025
Great place with easy access. Dont buy the upgraded pass a pure waist of money. The audio is simple as well.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

HI Guest, Thank you for the feedback. We don't sell pass and we didn't give you pass which you're talking about. We're selling only Van Gogh tickets with audio access.

Great Museum, Need Behavior Monitors

Jeff_L, Oct 2025
Museum is magnificent. Too many people there to fully enjoy. Behavior of guests was poor in enough cases to mar the experience, e.g. walking between patiently waiting guests and the artwork to get selfies or a number of photos for their group.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi Jeff, We appreciate your feedback. Taking frequent photos and large crowds can make it difficult to fully appreciate the artwork. We will take your feedback into consideration to make future visits better.

Definitely buy your ticket in advance

ANNEE_G, Oct 2025
Definitely buy a ticket in advance! We skipped the line and there were many people who didn’t buy in advance and missed out.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're glad you enjoyed it.

Go early - crowded and lots to see.

Katherine_S, Oct 2025
Lots to see at the van Gogh Museum. It is multiple levels and there are quite a few people there hoping to see the paintings. Would have enjoyed seeing more than one sunflower painting.

Fantastic Sevrice if Fully Booked

Gavin_F, Sep 2025
Fantastic experience. I arrived in Amsterdam not thinking that I needed the ticket to the Van Gogh Museum. However, I was told that they were fully booked for the three days that I was there, and I quickly looked on Viator where I found a posting on Van Gogh Museum tickets with an audio tour included. Granted, the price was naturally about double to triple the ticket cost at the museum, but I was able to get a ticket secured within 24 hours. When I made my reservation, I received an email and a notification via WhatsApp from my organizer saying that they would contact me and bill me once they found a guaranteed spot for me. I received the ticket and the service was exceptional!

Hey Gavin, Thank you so much for your kind words. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. God bless you.

Recommend seeing this!

Allison_A, Sep 2025
Really nice museum! Learned a lot, saw some great art. Didn’t realize The Starry Night isn’t featured in Amsterdam which is a bit disappointing, but still enjoyed the experience.

Recommend for last minute tickets!

Lisa_D, Aug 2025
Recommend if you’re in a bind and need Van Gogh museum tickets! I bought tickets from this third party vendor because I waited too long and could not get tickets through the official website, or through Ticketswap/Tiquets. The tickets were very expensive, but I was willing to pay it to get my parents into the museum. The tickets were sent to me in PDF the night before the date/time in a separate email from the Viator confirmation emails. I had no trouble entering with the tickets and all worked out perfectly.

False advertising

Renee_T, Aug 2025
Do not use Viator buy your own ticket it was triple the price! I thought a was getting a audio tour perceived wrong on booking

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hi, You Got your tickets with audio guide. If you had any issue then you should have contacted us. As far as the price is concerned, the tickets for the Van Gogh Museum are sold a month in advance, and you get the ticket, which is a great thing. The price is not an issue here: you get to experience it, while everything sold out.

Perfect

Inigo_A, Aug 2025
Worked well! No problems experienced. We booked it 2 days before and all the others were sold out so we didn’t mind the premium price. Especially because my mom loves Van Gogh

Van Gogh Museum

Mary_W, Jul 2025
It costs 24 Euro for admission ticket and 3.75 for headset. Which is about 55 Euro for 2 people. Viator charged us $144 for a timed admission. To date I felt Viator a reasonably priced outfit, but was disappointed to learn about this extraordinary upcharge.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hi, Our pricing structure reflects several factors, including additional surcharges, taxes, and the flexibility we provide. Unlike standard ticketing platforms, we offer enhanced convenience such as customer support, and availability even during high-demand periods. For instance, we often make tickets accessible when others cancel their tours at the last minute, giving more visitors the opportunity to experience iconic exhibitions like Van Gogh’s, even when official channels appear sold out.

Terrific experience for the Van Gogh Museum!

donnaheinrich, Jul 2025
Loved working with this company to get tickets to the Van Gogh Museum! Everything went so smoothly! We also had the audio feature which was terrific! It was nice to know everything was arranged and we could just enjoy the museum.

The audio guide was easy to use with excellent commentary for each room as you progress through the exhibit.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hi Muriel, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're glad you enjoyed it.

Nice and informative time at the museum.

Rajesh_P, Jun 2025
Having the audio guide allowed elaboration of the works from Van Gogh and other artists. The pace of going from room to room & various floors was good. Not sure it would have been as nice of an experience without the audio guide descriptions.

The museum is fabulous -...

Colleen_P, Mar 2025
The museum is fabulous - figuring out how to get the tickets was confusing. They don’t accept the voucher at the door nor at the ticket window at the Museum shop. I had to locate the tickets in an email. Also, you can’t bring any food, plants etc into the museum. We had gone to Keukenhof in the morning and had to store our purchases in a public locker nearby. Otherwise, it was a really wonderful experience.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Hi Guest, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're glad you enjoyed it.

Seamless Art Journey

Jon_F, Nov 2024
I booked the Van Gogh Museum multimedia tour on Viator, and it was incredible! I received tickets one day before our visit. The process was smooth, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The museum itself is breathtaking, with stunning artwork and a well-organized layout. Exploring Van Gogh’s masterpieces was unforgettable. Don’t miss this tour while in Amsterdam!
