Well worth it!

I was able to book last minute tickets to the Van Gogh Museum through this vendor. I had almost given up sinceI could not find available tickets any where for the following day. Until I came upon these. A little steep in price but the museum was well worth it.

Operator response

Thank you! Happy you were able to secure last-minute tickets and enjoy the museum experience.

Van Gogh museum

For the price I felt it was overpriced. But for a venue that was sold out it was the only option left.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your point, however this is a last minute ticket that we source when the museum is totally sold out.

Fabulous

It's fantastic, but you have to catch the TIKETS in time, if you don't get the ticket for a fortune, like I did.

Museum wonderful, ticket experience dreadful.

Museum was amazing, but tickets ( digital and paper versions) could not be scanned at the Museum entrance. The staff said they had been experiencing this problem before with Viator-purchased tickets. They let us in anyway, but it gave me pause for future use of the app.

Operator response

As explained on your voucher we will send you the tickets manually and your Viator voucher is not the entrance ticket to go inside the museum. We had sent you the tickets of the museum two days before by email, text and WhatsApp.

Book it if you love art

Our guide Linda was an actual art historian, and as someone who really loves art, I was seriously impressed by her knowledge and the way she brought the paintings to life. She made the stories behind the art really interesting without overdoing it. The museum itself is incredible, and having a guide like her made the visit so much better. Definitely a must if you love art.

Operator response

Thank you! So glad Linda could bring the art to life and make your visit extra special.
