I absolutely loved my visit to the Van Gogh Museum as the collection is incredibl, and seeing his paintings up close is unforgettable. The audio guide we got really helped. We are happy we made the booking tickets in advance as it was sold out on the day of visit. The gift shop has some unique items too. Highly recommend yes

I can recommend this tour for those who are first time museum visitors, as the tour gives you unlimited time, flexibility and freedom. We explored all 4 floors without hurry. The audio guide we picked up after security check was helful, my son told me he had amazing time here even he doesnt like museums at all.

van gogh late arrival worked

Arian_G, Apr 2026

We booked this experience few weeks in advance, received all info in details, but weird thing happened to us. On the day we should visit Van gogh museum, i had a knee accident and i could not attend morning slot 10am. We contacted this company if we can arrive later in the afternoon, around 3pm, they accepted and we enjoyed our visit afternoon, everything was okay, the stuff let us in with our 10am entry ticket, we were so happy

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Do not trust them

Sarah_S, Apr 2026

The experience was great, but this booking company is not. I purchased tickets for 3 pm, and the entry tickets that they sent me clearly stated a timed 9:15 am entry, with no entry permitted if we arrived after 9:45. I had to set an early alarm and wake up with my kids after a red eye flight, which was awful. The people at the museum confirmed that had we shown up at 3:00 pm we would not have been allowed to enter. Please trust the tickets, not the people selling them. Not worth it at all, considering the 500% markup compared to buying directly from the museum.

Van gogh incredible museum visit last minute tickets was delivered immediately

Rene_A, Mar 2026

Our visit to Van Gogh Museum was stunning, and especially the audio guide turned our family into a real adventure. While my husband and I were getting deep into the brushwork, my 8-year-old managed to accidentally switch his guide to Finnish. It was the most cultural experience we've had in years, Highly recommend.

We appreciate this company support team as we had urgent travel issue with a train, and our arrival to Amsterdam was delayed by 1 hour. Tour manager was very helpful to reschedule our tickets for the later time slot which saved our day. Fantastic museum full of history, my child was happy here walking and listening stories about Van Gogh.
