Pair Van Gogh’s masterpieces with a 75-minute Amsterdam canal cruise, including timed museum entry, multilingual audio, and flexible boat boarding.
“The environment and art in the Van Gogh Museum were incredible. I found the story of his life and struggles very moving, and the art he created in spite of his struggles is incredible. The canal cruise was relaxing and so informative, would highly recommend doing this if it’s a first trip to Amsterdam and you want to learn a bit about the city and its history.”
Pair Van Gogh’s masterpieces with a one-hour Amsterdam canal cruise in a practical, time-saving ticket for a first visit.
“I ended up not using the canal trip part of the ticket. I couldn't find the office and having to physically go there to pre book while on a short, busy trip was a pain. However, the Van Gogh Museum was excellent. Many of his more famous works are at other galleries, eg Starry Night but there are plenty of beautiful and interesting paintings here, along with sketches, letters etc. Well worth a visit if you have any interest at all in this extraordinary artist.”
Skip the Van Gogh Museum’s long entry lines, follow a private guide through his life and art, then keep exploring with an all-day ticket.
“Irina was my guide for the Van Gough Small group tour on October 6, 2025. She was professional and quite educated in the world of Van Gough and European art in general. I felt as though I learned the equivalent of one semester of European art from her in 2.5 hours! I cannot imagine a better experience if you are interested in one of the most iconic painters in history. Irina is a treasure! Thank you for the best tour I’ve ever taken!”

Pair a timed Van Gogh Museum visit with a one-hour Amsterdam canal cruise, but read the ticket and cruise instructions carefully before booking.
“There was no tour guide (how can you call it à tour then?) for the Van Gogh museum (and I had to say we we’re disappointed that some of his most famous works weren’t on display), and the boat tour had to be arranged separately clear across town. The boat (Lover operated) was an oven and the windows had so much glare that pictures were hard to take. Viator should do better packaging such an offering.”

“The fantastic guide made the tour a pleasure and highlight of the day.”

See Van Gogh’s major works with a small-group guide who connects his art, life, influences, and final years inside Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum.
“Going to the Van Gogh Museum and seeing a collection of his incredible paintings was a major contributing factor to including Amsterdam in our travel plans. In view of this we decided that we would benefit most by having an expert guide. We chose Babylon Tours and we were delighted with our Tour Guide Anna. She certainly was the ‘expert guide’ we were hoping for. The cost was a little more than other tours that we had seen advertised but was reflected in the time and expertise she shared with us and 2 other couples in our small group tour. Her planned progression of paintings and sharing of related factual…”
