Denied entrance

My voucher was just for entrance, no tour. I presented the voucher at the entrance and it wasn’t accepted by their scanner. Very frustrating and embarrassing experience. I looked through booking messages and I didn’t see any directions regarding using a different entrance or access point than the main entrance. They tried scanning other versions of the same voucher with no luck.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We would like to clarify that the official museum tickets were sent to you via the Viator CLC messaging system on the day before your scheduled visit. The Rijksmuseum accepts only its official ticket with the QR code for entry. If the Viator booking voucher was presented instead, it would not be accepted by the museum's scanners. We understand how frustrating this situation must have been and appreciate your feedback. We will continue working to make our ticket instructions even clearer for future travelers.

Extremely disappointed

The museum did not honor tickets in; had to buy new tickets at the door; no response from Viator on issues. Will never use this app again in the Netherlands.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience and frustration you experienced during your visit. We would like to clarify that the original e-tickets were successfully sent to your email the day before your travel date. Please note that the Viator booking voucher itself is not valid for museum entry. The museum requires the official e-tickets with the QR/barcode for admission. If the original e-tickets had been presented at the entrance, access to the museum would have been granted. We sincerely regret any misunderstanding regarding the ticket usage instructions and appreciate your feedback as we continue working to improve the traveler experience.
