The tickets were easy to purchase for the time slot we wanted and the day we wanted. The tickets were readily accessable on our phone and had no issues in presenting them at the entrance to both museums. The museums were very well laid out and we could have spent so much more time exploring especially in the Rijksmuseum. Alas there were not enough hours in the day to see it all. So there is more to explore the next time we are in Amsterdam.

Very crowded museum even though the entrance is regulated by selling tickets by time slots. A lot of people taking pictures of almost every painting and taking selfies with paintings (even worse type of visitors). I am positive that more people going to museums and being exposed to art is globally a good thing, but am still wondering why some of them came. And their attitude and numbers are not good for "normal visitors" to enjoy, absorb, have proper concentration and perception of art. Museums certainly are not for crowds. They are silent and sacred places for those who really love and anderstand art.

Good thing we booked in advance because everything was sold out. The only downside was that the booking stated audio guides were included, whereas the app listed them as paid... in the end, we had to pay for them.

The captain Bard, was lovely. He took the time to explain all the history of Amsterdam whilst on the canal trip, throwing in some humour along the way! Really enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone travelling to Amsterdam . We looked at various canal excursions but we wanted an open boat so really happy we chose to go with head out, and it was also very reasonably priced. It made the trip to Amsterdam so much more enjoyable. 5 stars 10/10!

Pair reserved entry to the Van Gogh Museum with a live-guided open boat canal cruise featuring an onboard bar.
