This is a great experience. I loved the way they explain the paintings in relation to the place (physical and mental) and the people who surround the artist. I would return to Amsterdam just for that visit. Loved it. Make sure to buy the audio help. It complements well.

    Emotionally meaningful experience at the Van Gogh Museum

    Ninasue_S, Aug 2026
    This museum beautifully communicated the depth of the artist Vincent Van Gogh.The audio was very informative and felt like almost a live guide .What a prolific artist ,especially in his last year of life .I was very sad he suffered so much mentally .They really were respectful about that aspect. The museum was laid out beautifully and it has fostered for me a great interest in him that I never had before .The gift shop had unique and reasonably priced moments. I loved this experience

    Great museum; ticketing was a problem

    Samir_S, Aug 2026
    The museum was wonderful. Great experience overall for the family. We enjoyed the sessions and the information shared. What wasn’t great was the purchasing of the tickets and the fact that Viator did not provide us valid tickets for our kids. The museum is free for under 18 and we had two tickets purchased for them, they were not provided. I only received 2 adult tickets and the ticket checkers were adamant that we needed tickets for the kids. They said that this was a problem with Viator and that I should address it with Viator. We were likely to be let in to the museum since we weren’t provided valid vouchers.

    I love Van Gough

    Overall very smooth and easy. We have a little mobility issue, and it was very crowded. We have to wait a bit before we can get closer to the display or take pictures.

    Beautiful & Intriguing Art

    Love Van Gough art. Excellent audio and details about his life. Interesting where he lived and how his paintings evolved.

    Very crowded many people T museum due to holiday… entrance to museum was not a problem with voucher!

    Would like my money back

    Judy_R, May 2026
    I had the booking in my apple wallet, wasn’t allowed entrance, they wanted an email, which I couldn’t obtain, voucher came to late I spent $140. Plus Taxi $33. I’m very disappointed in Viator!!! Was really looking forward to the experience

    Very crowded

    Nadine_R, Apr 2026
    Very crowded. The art was wonderful, the audio guide was OK. Too many idiots taking selfies in front of the art.

    Excellent museum. Must see.

    Nicholas_S, Apr 2026
    Lovely experience, walking around the museum seeing all these original Van gogh's masterpiece. Must see.

    Allow yourself enough time, and steel yourself up to be patient, to get the most out of this magnificent museum

    Timothy_S, Apr 2026
    Wonderful paintings, beautiful accessible building, excellent museum shops and great food in the café. Very helpful staff. The pleasure of seeing so many wonderful paintings, rich captions in the museum help trace Van Gogh's development as a self-taught artist, the influences on Van Gogh of other contemporary artists, the acquaintances he made with fellow artist, and so many more wonders thrive in this museum. It is well worth visiting. A few words of caution. This museum attracts large groups of visitors. It can be crowded, noisy and there are numerous visitors who want to get a close up photo of paintings and sketches. Screw your courage to the wall and be prepared for the photography visitors who have no hesitation to stand their ground in front of a painting until they have the perfect shot captured in their camera, smart phone or whatever. It can be disconcerting, even a bit maddening, to witness a seriatim stream of photo-takers lining up to get their photo. A few will invade your space in their attempt to get a photo. A second thought is to pace yourself. This is a large museum on multiple floors. Trying to see the Van Gogh works displayed in an hour or two is frustrating. Taking a break to check out the offerings in the museum shops, or resting your feet for a while in the museum cafe, make this museum tour more enjoyable. This is an awesome collection of art. With enough time and patience, it can be an incredible experience.

    Museo ben organizzato, audiovideo semplice da usare ed esaustiva, gestione degli i grassi con orari prefissato che consente di non avere grande calma nelle varie stanze...Bellissimo

    A must for Amsterdam, with an excellent audio guide. I hadn't booked my tickets in time before the trip; with Viator, one day before, I managed to find it with a 100% markup, acceptable compared to other offers. Keep in mind that even if you select the option for minors, since the ticket is actually free, it is not issued, but neither is the reservation, so they might give you trouble at the entrance.

    The tickets from Viator don't work well! The museum itself is great!

    MarieElisabeth_K, May 2026
    The museum itself is beautiful, especially the audio guide is well done. However, there were massive problems with the ticket purchased through Viator: It was extremely cumbersome to access on the smartphone, making it seem almost hopeless to use - despite the massively overpriced price! Only the willing help of someone presumably assigned specifically to Viator problems at the entrance (I certainly was not the only one having issues with the Viator ticket!) allowed the card to be identified and used. A somewhat frustrating start! The museum itself is beautiful, and the audio guide is particularly well done. However, there were major problems with the ticket purchased through Viator: it was extremely difficult to access on my smartphone, making it almost impossible to use – despite the massively inflated price! Only the helpful assistance of someone at the entrance, presumably assigned specifically to Viator issues (I certainly wasn't the only one having problems with the Viator ticket!), allowed me to identify and use the card. A rather frustrating start!

    That this is a scam. The price is double that of the Museum for no additional services. Unable to get my ticket back before departure.I had a voucher kindly transformed by Museum staff. To flee

    Expensive but effective

    Gabriele_H, May 2026
    Viator allowed a relative spontaneous visit to the van Gogh Museum Amsterdam - but about 150% above normal price! That's quite rough! But without alternative.
