GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Could you ever leave Amsterdam without visiting the magnificent museums that define this city full of life, freedom, and culture? Our travel itinerary already included tickets to the Van Gogh Museum, but not to the Rijksmuseum—which we were able to book on our own very easily through HeadoutCCarolyn H
CoupleVerified booking2 days ago5/5I loved the history that was presented with the paintings. It gave me a deeper appreciation for what the artists were depicting- from family life to outdoor life all those years ago in that part of the world. Plus, I was exposed to artists I hadn't heard of before. Really wonderful artists. But honestly, one of the most special moments for me was the Rembrandt painting which depicted a husband and wife, who was wearing a red dress. It was a tender and beautiful painting. I especially wanted to see it because I believe that this painting was the one that Van Gogh stood in front of for a very long time as noted by observers who saw him there. I stood in front of it too, though probably not for as long as he did. Anyway, it was a lovely experience.VVannucci S
CoupleVerified bookingYesterday4/5We arrived 15 minutes before our scheduled time, and the line at the entrance was short and moved quickly. The staff, who were very kind and efficient, welcomed us warmly. The tour suggested by the audio guide highlights the most interesting works in each section. The library is absolutely beautiful—when you walk in, it literally takes your breath away.MMichaela Z
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5A huge museum, with an equally huge selection of paintings ranging from van Gogh to Rembrandt! The same goes for the exhibition of ship models and porcelain! The only minor drawback: the descriptions of the paintings in the online guide were a bit sparse and lacking! The descriptions—and the number of them—could definitely be more detailed and more numerous!LLaura K
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5I couldn't bring up the app to retrieve my ticjets at the ebtrance to the museum! I called Headout in a panic and they said they could email them to me, which they immediately did! I was ecstatic! The museum was overwhelming! The works if all the masters were so life-like and stunning! Some actually brought me to teara!
