Easy to use, fuss free. Came with an audio guide and actually finished walking the entire palace about an hour or so. Not a huge attraction but the sculptures and paintings were pretty great.

It was convenient to be able to manage the vouchers for the three reservations in Amsterdam in one ticket. When reserving the Van Gogh Museum, the reservation slots may be filled up a little in advance, so we strongly recommend purchasing well in advance and specifying the date and time.
