Out on the water in the evening with the best captain, "Dirk"! The stories told by the captain himself were wonderful (informative and entertaining)—and best of all, in English!—and he even took us on an extra loop to a great photo spot. The whole team was very helpful—I had bought tickets online, but we ended up at the wrong boarding location. When we asked, however, they let us board here and it wasn’t a problem. The very young team was very polite and friendly to us guests. Top-notch service!

The audio-guided tour was very enjoyable and helped me understand the works on display. It’s best to arrive early in the morning to get the most out of the museum. Plus, the coat check is free. If you have a good pair of headphones, the museum’s app is free and offers the same service as the audio guide.

An amazing experience! 5☆ It was a birthday gift for my 14-year-old son, who’s an Ajax fan.🥳 Warm welcome at the reception desk, a sign listing VIP guests, an Ajax scarf, and a friendly tour guide. We got to see every part of the stadium, enjoyed non-alcoholic drinks in the VIP lounge, and chatted about the history of this magnificent building. With the VIP ticket, you get a 10% discount at the Ajax store. Highly recommended!👌

The location makes the experience really unique. You have to wander around to get the most out of it. Even if you stay in place for a while you get unique views into the cellars and can experience different displays at one. Absolutely worth it

Went and check this out the other day it was an enjoyable experience and I was able to walk through at my own pace, took about an hour to get through it, but I was going slow and enjoying everything. It wasn't very expensive and definitely worth the cost. Highly recommended.!

The show and the individual small rooms make the experience even more unique and amazing. How the show Switches from one painting to another was thrilling and always different. It was absolutely breathtaking. Can only say would do it again and again and again.

These tickets are highly recommended, especially for getting around Amsterdam. Unfortunately, it's a bit tricky to get to the airport with the GvB ticket.
