The English-language tour was well organized, easy to understand, and very enjoyable. It gave us a good impression of the Dutch culture in the region. There was also plenty of time to sample regional products. Thank you very much, Amanda, for the wonderful tour throughout the day.

The location makes the experience really unique. You have to wander around to get the most out of it. Even if you stay in place for a while you get unique views into the cellars and can experience different displays at one. Absolutely worth it

The process of purchasing and using the digital ticket was super quick and easy. But of course, what I liked best was the museum itself. I've never seen anything like it. The atmosphere was great and unique. It was something new and different from other museums.

Went and check this out the other day it was an enjoyable experience and I was able to walk through at my own pace, took about an hour to get through it, but I was going slow and enjoying everything. It wasn't very expensive and definitely worth the cost. Highly recommended.!

It was a great way for us (both 19) to enjoy art in a modern way. Really gave us more appreciation for the old masters. Highly recommend for people who are not so keen on museums, but still want to enjoy those wonderful paintings
