We visited Amsterdam and decided to visit Madame Tussauds last minute. We booked tickets via the website which was very easy and quick, also offering tickets in the very near future which was great as our visit in Amsterdam was only 5 hours. The experience was exceptional and the wax works are amazing. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Everything was so easy, from the moment I bought the ticket for the moment I presented them on the Madame Tussand museum. Excellent app that was very helpful to find new places to visit.

The easy access was the best part of all. I was able to buy tickets fifteen minutes before the opening time. No red tape or lines. The experience of returning to the museum was incredible. I first visited the museum years ago, and now I’m back. The new exhibits and featured artists are really cool. Everything was great.

It’s worth buying a ticket that includes multiple attractions, since it works out cheaper. The purchase process is easy and intuitive. During the week, we had no problem buying tickets the day before. We started with a boat at a specific time because they depart from Central Station, which is in a great part of Amsterdam. The restroom on the boat is free. It was a very pleasant cruise. You can sit inside or outside the boat. About two hours later, we had a reserved entry to Madame Tussauds. We really enjoyed it—the figures looked just like the real thing. At the entrance, we received a ticket with a barcode that, at the end of the tour, lets you view your photos on a screen and purchase them for an additional fee. It was a lot of fun. I recommend both attractions—it’s a shame we didn’t have time for others.

The museum was well-stocked, and the wax figures were very realistic. The cruise was pleasant, apart from the lack of space.
