Self-Guided Tour option is the way to go
If you appreciate art, this is a must-see. Get your ticket in advance and make sure you have the QR code ready to be scanned. There was only a small, fast moving line at 9 am to get in on a Tuesday. You must get the self guided tour option. It’s not at all expensive. While busy, at no time did I feel crowded and there was plenty of opportunity to stand in front of your favorite painting for a few moments. Crowd was quiet, polite, and I never felt like I was in someone’s way. What a beautiful experience.

confusing directions
instructions for initial meeting place was not clear and confusing. After receiving 4-5 emails with updates, etc, it was difficult to find correct meeting place, and because of this, I missed the tour

Scam! (van Gogh Museum)
Fraud!
Tickets that were far too expensive were not tickets, but vouchers. According to the confirmation, these were supposed to be exchanged for tickets on-site, and there were GPS coordinates provided.
On-site, no one showed up, the provided phone number was unreachable and "unknown," and the Viator app was not connected to booking.com, so our reservation did not appear there.
We did not receive valid entry tickets from Werder via email, SMS, or WhatsApp!!
324 euros simply scammed without any service provided. The result: three extremely disappointed and desperate children who had traveled from Germany with us, full of anticipation for van Gogh.
Incredible total scam.
We demand our money back!
Operator response
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback.
Wir möchten klarstellen, dass in unserer Produktbeschreibung nicht angegeben ist, dass Gutscheine vor Ort in Tickets umgetauscht werden müssen. In den Buchungsdetails wird erläutert, dass die offiziellen Tickets separat am Tag vor dem Besuch über Viator CLC und WhatsApp (falls verfügbar) versendet werden, und Ihre Tickets wurden entsprechend verschickt. Es handelte sich um eine selbstgeführte Option ohne Gastgeber. Unsere Preisgestaltung berücksichtigt Verfügbarkeit, Steuern, Zuschläge und den Zugang zu Last-Minute-Tickets.

Scam!
Scam! We booked 5 a lot too expensive tickets at booking.com for our family, including three kids who also really were looking forward to the van Gogh Museum.
According to the confirmation we should change our vouchers with tickets at the museum, google-maps-link with coordinates were sent to us.
Nobody was there, the phone number was not available, and we hadn't received any valuable tickets per email, WhatsApp or sms.
We are more than disappointed and hurt due to this scam.
Return us our 324 Euro inmediately!!!
Operator response

This was a self-guided option with no host included. Our pricing reflects availability, taxes, surcharges, and last-minute ticket access.

Very, very expensive. Buy your ticket at the museum well in advance so you don't have to use these excessive fares

Notre structure tarifaire prend en compte plusieurs facteurs, notamment des frais supplémentaires, des taxes ainsi que la flexibilité que nous offrons.

Nous vous remercions pour vos commentaires et continuerons à travailler afin d’offrir un service de qualité et accessible à nos clients.

At no time in the booking...
At no time in the booking process did Viatour say you need IOS 18 to download the purchased tickets. My phone is older and there is no option to download an older version of the app. The people at the museum were helpful but unable to admit us because the technical issue.
Beware, communication regarding the needed app was poor. If you have an older phone you cannot retrieve your tickets. A total waste.

It's a museum you shouldn't miss
It contains very nice works by painter Van Gogh and his miserable life. Also his conflicts that led to his suicide.
