This was probably one of the best hop on hop off tours that we did on our trip!

The hop on hop off canal boat was very nice. Don't listen if the concierge at your hotel tells you they don't have narration on the boats. They DO! Just a heads up, if you buy a combination ticket you still have to stand in line to exchange it for admission but you do save a few bucks. Service from Viator couldn't have been better.

Canal bus is a great way to get around Amsterdam but be prompt at the stops, they don't wait around. Van Gogh museum is fantastic.

I bought the audio tour. It really helped me appreciate Van Gogh's art knowing his personal history.

This is a great way to get familiar with the city of Amsterdam. The Van Gogh Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in art! I was happy not to stand in line anywhere during the whole tour and transit.

Skipping the looonnng line at the Van Gogh Museum was a big time saver. A beautiful museum worth the time visiting, that's if you love art and Van Gogh. We did. The Canal Bus was a great way to travel around, the routes red-green-blue are well planned and easy to understand and fun. We enjoyed it.

We enjoyed the Van Gogh paintings. The museum sets the exhibits and paintings off very well. We loved the canals, and the canal bus was a reasonable way to tour Amsterdam and learn about its history. My husband absolutely loved Amsterdam and its people.

This is a great way to see the city and relax. Also, it gives you a chance to chat with fellow tourists. You still have to queue to collect your ticket at the museum, but this wasn't a problem.

The trip was fine. I didn't use the canal boats as much as I probably should have. Also, the city isn't that big that you need to use the canal boats. The information put out during the tour, though, was superb. Thank you!

I wish more of the Van Gogh museum had been open when we visited. Only half was open to visitors.

There was no problem at all converting my home-printed ticket for the hop on-hop off ticket, and having the museum ticket in advance meant no wait in line. I definitely recommend it.

Had a fantastic time and good to be able to use the canal pass up until 12 the next day.

Difficulties of combining cruise planned tour and skip the line tickets. First, conversion to museum passes can only be provided by canal company ticketing. Museums do not convert. Secondly, although museum access is included in the claims, only the Van Gogh Museum applied and its computer was down so we had to pay. Reieksmuseum did not provide access and we had to pay again. Thus the Skip the Line ticket was useless given the short time we had in Amsterdam. Finally, an exhibit of book publishing and art history which I understood to be at the Reieksmuseum was at the Amsterdam airport instead and there was no time to get there. So Amsterdam was a bust and I will have to come back and allow more time.
