Amsterdam Combo: Van Gogh Museum and Canal Cruise with Optional Skip-the-Line Keukenhof Gardens
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Combine a 1-hour canal cruise with an admission ticket to the Van Gogh Museum, Keukenhof Gardens or both on this Amsterdam combo tour. Select the cruise departure time that best suits you and see Anne Frank House, the Skinny Bridge and the old port from the water, while enjoying audio commentary. Choose to combine the cruise with hassle-free access to the Van Gogh Museum or the blooming fields of the Keukenhof Gardens. Alternatively, upgrade for skip-the-line tickets to both attractions.
Choose a combo tour that includes a 1-hour sightseeing cruise in a luxury, glass-topped canal boat as well as skip-the-line entry to either Keukenhof Gardens, the Van Gogh Museum, or both. All activities can be undertaken in one day or split across several days.
Amsterdam Canal Cruise (1 Hour):Choose to take your sightseeing canal cruise at a time that suits your schedule. Step aboard the glass-topped canal boat near Amsterdam’s Central Station and listen to pre-recorded commentary about the Dutch capital as you glide across the water. Look out at the pretty gabled houses that line the water, and float by top sights such as Anne Frank House, the Skinny Bridge and the old port area. After around an hour, your cruise concludes back at the original start point. Skip-the-Line Keukenhof Gardens Ticket:Use your complimentary public transport ticket to travel out to Keukenhof Gardens at a time that suits you. Then, on arrival, bypass the main lines with your pre-booked ticket. Once inside, stroll around the winding paths of the expansive gardens and inhale the scent of flowers. Admire the striking fields of well-tended tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, all vibrantly hued and in full bloom.
Admission ticket Van Gogh Museum Ticket: Visit the popular museum on a day of your choosing. Beat the crowds with an early morning or late afternoon time slot (the time slot needs to be booked at your local operator's shop). Make your way around the world’s largest collection of Van Gogh’s works. Examine the artist's letters and drawings, and get up close to famous paintings such as Sunflowers and The Potato Eaters. You'll also see works from other respected 19th-century artists, such as Paul Gauguin and Edouard Manet. Please note: The Keukenhof Gardens are only open between March 23 and 21 May 2017.
A great action packed day in AMSTERDAM. A great value with all three activities memorable. On a river cruise only in port 12 hours with enough time to enjoy all of them.

This tour was amazing!

The good news: Keukenhof Gardens is beautiful, and the canal cruise was fine. The bad news: the operator didn't bother to buy tickets for the Van Gogh Museum and claimed that no tickets were available. That wasn't true I checked the Van Gogh Museum's web site, and tickets were readily available. If you really want to go to the Van Gogh Museum, don't book this tour sorry, Viator. You'll probably need to buy the components yourself. For the Van Gogh Museum, that means buying tickets directly from the museum's web site in advance. If you're not staying nearby, you also should buy a pass for Amsterdam's system of trams and buses you can buy that after arrival. For Keukenhof Gardens, you'll need 2 things: a train ticket from Centraal Station to the airport which you can buy at Centraal Station and a combo pass for Keukenhof Gardens that includes bus transportation between the airport and the gardens. You can buy those after arrival, too. If you want to take a canal cruise, there are several operators for that. You can see them from Centraal Station and buy a ticket from one that looks good after you arrive. The operator I used was canal.nl you can buy tickets for that one at the storefront labeled iAmsterdam in front of Centraal Station. Then again, that's the operator that messed up my tickets to the Van Gogh Museum, so I don't necessarily recommend them -- but their canal cruise was fine.

We had an amazing time, well worth it.x
Review by: Alex L, July 2016
Difficult to get to the Keukenhof and back to A'dam, I assumed wrong of course that the bus to the Keukenhof and the canal boat trip were close together not all the way across town. Keukenhof was beautiful, Rijksmuseum ws great and I could have used more time and the canal trip was wonderful._br/_ AL, Madison, CT

Good staff, god commentary. Most was in top condition.
Review by: Marie W, June 2016
We loved this trip. One difficulty was finding the location to hand in our online receipt for the actual tickets to use. We wish Viator would provide that information. The other was that to get to the airport requires taking two public transit trolley/bus from downtown. We bought a round trip day pass to do this. Then we found out that we had paid for the same transport with Viator so we paid twice. In any case it was a great trip and a great day and way to see Amsterdam and the tulips.

Keukenhof Gardens highly recommended. Do understand that by booking this combination you are on your own, no guide or someone directing you.
Review by: Cynthia J H, May 2016
Good combo package with Keukenhof and the Canal Cruise. However, it was the last weekend of the season at Keukenhof and the tulip fields were closed, much of the blooming was over. It was still a wonderful experience, beautiful displays and gardens. Loved the Amsterdam canal tour - very informative and leisurely. It made for a long day, but very pleasant and memorable.
Review by: Tim G, May 2016
Wonderful Garden experience, the Canal Cruise was good, but we did not have an easy time finding the starting point. Suggest better directions than across from the main train terminal.

Beautiful gardens lovely setting
Review by: Deborah S, May 2016
We went to the Keukenhof Gardens when it was raining. There was NO line, so this voucher was really unnecessary. The voucher came in handy for the Van Gogh Museum though. There were long lines there. It was great to just go up to the group ticket window and bypass everyone waiting. Try the Canal Cruise at night, it's a whole different perspective.
Review by: Lee K L, May 2016
Very much enjoyed the Gardens, Museum and the Canal Cruise. Hard to get them in in one day and would have liked to spent more time in the gardens and the museum.
Review by: Michelle O, May 2016
The whole tour was beautifully put together _br/_ The only problem I had was you had to navigate the public transport. And let me make it clear it is only me that has a problem with this. I would have felt much more comfortable with an option of personal transport. Also, the address of the office across from Central Station was way too broad. I looked around for 45 minutes to have it be right in front of me.
Review by: Debra R, May 2016
Didn't save any time because I had to exchange my voucher for tickets at each place. At the Van Gogh museum I even had to exchange my ticket for a ticket from the museum before I could get in line to get in. So NO skipping the lines...
Review by: Susan C, April 2016
The Keukenhof Gardens in April are amazing. Must see! Pavilion displays are very creative, too. The Canal Cruise was disappointing. The audio was hard to hear and very little said. Took another cruise in Paris with a live person narrating the tour and this was MUCH better. The Van Gogh museum is also terrific and skipping the lines is so helpful.
Review by: Linda M, April 2016
Enjoyed the sights, but logistics was very complicated
Review by: Alicia S, August 2015
Great time, thanks!
Review by: Christina S, August 2015
Keukenhof Gardens closed since May they only open 3 months of year - March to May and hundreds in queue for Van Gogh Museum in voucher row yet could have got ticket at kiosk with 3 ahead for only 13 and walk straight in. Canal Cruise good and only short wait but could have got it for 11. Assistant at Cruise Kiosk said he hadn't seen these vouchers in over 6 months and couldn't believe that they were on sale when gardens closed. Paid 33 x 2 definately not worth money and wouldn't recommend anyone to buy any vouchers before going on trip and plenty of discounts when you arrive.
Review by: Crystal Lynn C, August 2015
We could only do the canal tour,the so called fast track line was 3 hours, never even cashed in our tickets for the museum
Review by: David K, July 2015
The tours were as expected. The counter person at the Boat dock was not helpful and gave us wrong information. We waited in line longer at the Van Gogh than the people who simply walked up but the Keukenhof advance helped. It was helpful that we did not have to worry about each stop on the way.
Review by: Selina C, June 2015
The lines to museum were too long. Voucher helped at van gage but we waited 70 minutes. We prefer e ticket. There is more than one place to redeem voucher for tickets. Leidesplein had a canal cruise ticket office. We had a great trip.
Review by: Pamela D, June 2015
Although the deal states skip the queues, you don't! Almost everyone has pre-booked tickets so you still need to queue to gain admission to the museum and to get a space on the bus to Keukenhof. However, the buses were frequent so our wait was approximately 30 minutes. The queue for the museum took about 20 minutes to gain entrance, the sun was shining so it wasn't too much of a drag! The wait was worth it for both, Keukenhof is truly amazing.
Review by: christina t, June 2015
this ticket worked very well. however we did not realise we had to exchange our printed voucher for tickets before going to the gardens. Luckily I had printed off 2 copies so they kept 1 at the gardens and the other we exchanged for the boat trip in the centre of Amsterdam. At the gardens we gained immediate access to the gardens without having to queue. The gardens were really beautiful but far too busy and the queues for the toilets were ridiculous, so we left earlier than planned. I think they need to think about visitor numbers! The canal boat cruise was very nice, although we had to queue for a boat. It would be nice to be able to pre book a departure slot. All in all I would recommend the above and do book in advance for the gardens.
Review by: Francine M, June 2015
The best thing was not having to stand in lines. For any museum in _br/_ Amsterdam the lines are ridiculous! The cruise was great , a nice introduction to Amsterdam, the gardens were just amazingly beautiful and of course Van Gogh was great. I recommend all these and getting the tickets ahead was much easier.

TULIPS TULIPS EVERYWHERE.

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Ranoush, June 2015
Very nice.. i lobved the canals tour and the museum , was confused about the gardens transportation but i found my way at end.. gardens are a must see if you are there in its opening season.
Review by: Ross M, May 2015
The canal tour was lovely and we enjoyed it very much. The Keukenhof Gardens were fabulous, worth every minute spent there. However, we got to the Van Gogh museum and with pre paid tickets the line wait was just shy of two hours....far too long.
Review by: Dayana O, May 2015
A really nice experience, unfortunately in Keukenhof Gardens not all of the flowers were blooming, many of them weren't ready yet and we couldn't enjoy all the amazing flora of the place. Maybe because it was mid-April and we went too early.
Review by: Julia W, May 2015
Only gripe-' beat the queue' tickets, didn't beat the queue, because we still had to queue up for tickets with everyone else!!! Very good value though!
Review by: Johanna C, May 2015
Everything went well until the VanGogh Museum.You advertised skip the line. That was not the case. We were to wait over an hour. Other commitments so we were not able to see it. .very disappointing.
Review by: micknliz, May 2015
Garden worth seeing, Line at museum very long in the afternoon.
Review by: Jamjureester, May 2015
Top 3 interesting places to visit but it could be better to buy locally in separated tickets. To buy combo ticket is not worth for money.
Review by: Don R, May 2015
With this voucher I still had to wait in line for 45 minutes. Then they wouldn't scan the bar code off my phone. wasted
Review by: Cyrilla D. S, April 2015
This was a wonderful trip, would definitely recommend to all
Review by: Bonnie T, April 2015
