★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 74 reviews · 1 day · from $50

Combine a timed Rijksmuseum visit with a 24-hour Amsterdam sightseeing bus pass, including canal views, Dutch masters, and multilingual audio.

“Good value and museum is really worth it. Staff are excellent. What let's down the experience is the bus tour. The stops are not clearly marked, hard to find without tge map and the tour spends 1/4 of the time around the Centraal station where there is no much to see. Unfortunately the way Amsterdam roads are, the bus can't go at mall interesting places. Also tge audio tour is somewhat very limited.”
