A well thought out museum. Wonderful art work, of course. Perhaps the highlight of our trip. So glad we had the opportunity to see this collection.
Very crowded place in the morning Disconnected gallery layout that was confusing

Interesting and well organised museum. Great audio guide that allows you to move through the museum at your own pace. Very enjoyable.

An amazing museum. Learn about Vincent and his family and the path to becoming one of the most loved painters. Museum was well designed, lunch as very good. Easy to get to.

Easy check in. Progress through museum at own pace. Can be a bit crowded in some rooms, but patience will give you a front row view.

Unfortunately a backhoe in a nearby Street cut through the power lines. This was not their fault in the whole neighborhood when dark. However, when ask if we could come back later, they said it just was not possible. They could not make any kind of compensation. This happened to me and to many other people. Today is we're getting ready to leave. They said we could come back later this week after having said absolutely not possible yesterday. We get this note this evening as we are preparing to leave Amsterdam for America. This is extremely bad business practice and my wife was most disappointed as this was supposed to be one of the highlights of our trip.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are truly sorry that the unexpected power outage affected your visit and caused such disappointment, especially as this was meant to be one of the highlights of your trip.
Unfortunately, the outage was caused by accidental damage to power lines during nearby construction work and affected the entire surrounding area. This was completely outside our control, and at the time, there was no confirmed information regarding when power would be restored or whether visitors could return later.
We understand how frustrating it must have been to receive updated information only when you were preparing to leave Amsterdam. We sincerely regret the inconvenience and disappointment this situation caused you and your wife. While circumstances like this are beyond our control, we appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve how unexpected disruptions and updates are communicated to our guests.
We didn’t know much about Vincent Van Gogh so we found this museum to be very informative. In fact , it was awesome. The audio worked very well.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.
I was unable to get tickets direct through the museum website so last minute so ended up paying more through Viator to go at the time and date I wanted. The seller was very responsive to my questions and emailed the tickets the night before! Everything went smoothly. Absolutely loved the museum!

Thank you for sharing your feedback.
scammed us completely and now are not responding to our messages and emails! charged us 60€ per person for basic museum entrance and audio guide which is equivalent to a total cost of maximum 28.75 - 25€ ticket and 3.75 charge of audio guide! no justification for the additional charge per person no information. total scam

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the pricing of your booking.
We would like to clarify that our pricing is not based solely on the official museum admission price. Our pricing structure reflects several factors, including applicable surcharges, taxes, booking and operational costs, as well as the additional flexibility and availability we provide.
For example, our platform may offer tickets when standard availability is limited or sold out, including availability created through last-minute cancellations. This allows more travelers the opportunity to secure a visit to the Van Gogh Museum.
The total price of the experience is displayed before the booking is confirmed, allowing customers to review the cost before completing their purchase.
We understand that the difference compared with the museum’s direct price may have been disappointing, and we appreciate your feedback. We always aim to provide a reliable and convenient booking experience and regret that your experience did not meet your expectations.
The voucher says “present to get tickets”.
It also lists a meeting spot. We looked around for a long time. There was no meeting spot. There is no person. The ticket office wouldn’t honor the voucher because well it wasn’t valid for tickets.. The voucher that you get on Viator is worthless. You have to have the actual physical ticket. We learned, after the timed entry was over, the tour operator, using the messaging platform sends the tickets. That wasn’t made clear from be beginning. Additionally, they are ticket resellers. There is no additional value. Tired getting a refund because we couldn’t use these at the time. No luck. I’m out $150.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the confusion you experienced, and we would like to clarify a few important points regarding this booking.
Our product information does not instruct guests to present the Viator voucher at the museum as an admission ticket. We clearly advise that the official entry tickets will be delivered via the Viator messaging system the day before the travel date. It is the official e-ticket we send, rather than the Viator booking voucher, that must be presented at the entrance.
Regarding the meeting point, for the self-guided option there is no representative to meet, as guests visit the museum independently using the provided admission tickets.
We would also like to clarify the pricing and tour options. The product offers different options depending on the experience selected at the time of booking. Guests who prefer additional assistance and commentary can select the guided tour option, while those who select the admission/self-guided option can explore independently.
We regret that these details were not clear to you at the time of your visit and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify where we can make the booking information even clearer for future travelers.
Couldn’t recommend this experience anymore. This was one of the highlights of my trip. Will definitely return to visit this museum

Very crowded. Be prepared for many, many photo takers. Lots of selfies and portraits with the art that disturb viewing at any length.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience upon entering the Van Gogh Museum felt confusing and that you did not receive clear instructions on where to go or how to use the audio device.
While the entry procedures and audio guide distribution are managed directly by the museum staff, we understand how this affected your overall experience. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
We hope that despite the initial confusion, you were still able to enjoy the museum and Van Gogh’s remarkable collection.
Not sure if this is sponsored by actual museum or third party. We entered with tickets which for last minute make this a four star experience. The museum would have sold out. Once inside we joined the queue and received headsets but so did everyone else. Nevertheless k didn't think that much about it and we left impressed with the museum and Van Gogh

When I was picked up on July 29 in Amsterdam, I was not welcomed with a sign like I was told I was told to report to different doors. It took almost a half an hour as the first car that came with small and I had ordered a large car because I have an electric scooter. You are supposed to pick me up on August 14 at 6:30 at the celebrity eclipse cruise line in Amsterdam. I need you to be there promptly this time as I have an airplane. .

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry for the confusion, but we believe this review may have been intended for a different booking or service.
This particular product does not include any pickup, drop-off, private transportation, or cruise-related service. We also do not provide a cruise transfer as part of this experience.
This is a self-guided audio tour, where the entrance tickets are sent directly to the customer via email. Guests are required to make their own way to the museum and present the provided tickets at the entrance gate.
Therefore, the vehicle arrangements, pickup at Celebrity Eclipse, and airport transfer mentioned in your review are not associated with this particular booking.
We kindly recommend checking your booking confirmation to identify the transportation provider responsible for your pickup so that they can assist you directly.
Thank you for your understanding, and we hope this helps clarify the situation.
We had to cancel our trip so we missed the tour. The three hundred and fifty mile bus trip was going to take five and one half hours so we canceled
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you had to cancel your trip and were unable to join the tour due to the long travel time. We completely understand how challenging a five-and-a-half-hour journey can be.
We hope you’ll have another opportunity to visit in the future, and we would be happy to welcome you then.
Love the audio guide. You are able to go at the pace you want and can stop and read all the information if you choose. Busy museum but easy to navigate

The museum is well thought out and makes sense walking it. The headset worked great, and I enjoyed the thought. They took in laying it out by years of his life.

It was great experience to visit the museum. It does sell out so get your tickets ahead of time. We were glad that we booked early. We had very smooth entry process. The Museum is a must-see site.

A fascinating museum that sheds light on van Gogh’s life and reveals the stories behind his paintings and artistic development. It features several shops and offers a truly beautiful and impressive experience overall.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback.
I would choose this tour over the live guide because it’s takes you through all the exhibits and you can linger if you like or replay the descriptions, you can also rest when you need to on one of the many benches and seating areas. When you pick up your listening device be sure to choose “extended” you’ll get a lot more info.

Absolutely stunning. Everything Van Gogh and Inspired. Was excited to see Monet pieces as well.
This visit, we had an unexpected injury that needed to be accomodated. It is a lot of walking, but staff was wonderful to assist with elevators and extra access as needed.
