The experience was truly delightful and knowledgeable. During the midst of my cruise, I was able to learn the history of Amsterdam and why it is called that. Also, the experience became far more great as our guide was a 21-year-old guy who grew up in Amsterdam itself. He told me about the canal housing, the East India Company office (the first stock exchange in the Netherlands), and many more things.

The 2-hour VIP Tour was perfect, thanks in part to our guide Eden, who was so enthusiastic—you can tell from everything he does that his heart and soul are with AJAX!! Thank you for the unforgettable afternoon; my husband and I had a wonderful time, as did the girls who served us at Café Jopie.....AWESOME!!👏🏻👍🏻

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 seamless and efficient. The line moves quickly. The attendant helped me find the app and bar code needed for them to scan me in. Everything is electronic now, and l am still catching up. But this worked well and it is absolutely necessary to get ticket well ahead of time.

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
