Self-Guided Tour option is the way to go

If you appreciate art, this is a must-see. Get your ticket in advance and make sure you have the QR code ready to be scanned. There was only a small, fast moving line at 9 am to get in on a Tuesday. You must get the self guided tour option. It’s not at all expensive. While busy, at no time did I feel crowded and there was plenty of opportunity to stand in front of your favorite painting for a few moments. Crowd was quiet, polite, and I never felt like I was in someone’s way. What a beautiful experience.

confusing directions

instructions for initial meeting place was not clear and confusing. After receiving 4-5 emails with updates, etc, it was difficult to find correct meeting place, and because of this, I missed the tour

Scam!

Scam! We booked 5 a lot too expensive tickets at booking.com for our family, including three kids who also really were looking forward to the van Gogh Museum. According to the confirmation we should change our vouchers with tickets at the museum, google-maps-link with coordinates were sent to us. Nobody was there, the phone number was not available, and we hadn't received any valuable tickets per email, WhatsApp or sms. We are more than disappointed and hurt due to this scam. Return us our 324 Euro inmediately!!!

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that our product does not state that vouchers must be exchanged at the venue. The booking details explain that the official tickets are sent separately the day before travel via Viator CLC and WhatsApp (when available), and your tickets were sent accordingly. This was a self-guided option with no host included. Our pricing reflects availability, taxes, surcharges, and last-minute ticket access.

Very, very expensive. Buy your ticket at the museum well in advance so you don't have to use these excessive fares

Operator response

At no time in the booking...

At no time in the booking process did Viatour say you need IOS 18 to download the purchased tickets. My phone is older and there is no option to download an older version of the app. The people at the museum were helpful but unable to admit us because the technical issue. Beware, communication regarding the needed app was poor. If you have an older phone you cannot retrieve your tickets. A total waste.

It's a museum you shouldn't miss

It contains very nice works by painter Van Gogh and his miserable life. Also his conflicts that led to his suicide.
