The museum was a great experience as well as the boat trip on the canal. Going from the museum to the boat was tricky because Google Maps got confused with the canals lol

Great Museum. Canal Cruise hard to arrange

The Museum is great however trying to arrange the cruise is difficult. You cannot get cruise tickets from all pick up points. You have to walk some distance to get them.

Confusing directions

Very confusing directions on how to get tickets. We were unable to do canal cruise because we could not determine how to get tickets

Easy and helpful self guided app Bring your simple sandwich and bottle water instead of eating inside to avoid long line up for cafe. You can eat in the entrance hall.

Leave Plenty of time to See Museum & Canal Tour

Great way to ensure entry to the Rijksmuseum, and the museum was beautiful. The canal cruise was an open boat in the sunshine with company Lovers, and it was very good as well. Easy to hear commentary and comfortable cruise.

Everything was ok, the audio guide is not for the museum only for the canal cruise. Easy to reach the boat in front of the museum

Great museum - go at your own pace

Very interesting museum. We didn’t want the audio tour and just went at our own pace. We were there a little over 2 hours. We chose not to do the canal tour because we were tired.
