What you'll see and do
Diamant Museum Amsterdam
Located between the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum at the famous Museum Square you will find the Diamond Museum Amsterdam. While the museum prepares for its new home, the highlights of the collection are on show in a temporary exhibition, with a guided diamond factory tour on one ticket. Amsterdam has been the City of Diamonds for four centuries, and many famous stones were cut here, such as the Cullinan (the largest diamond ever found) and the Koh-i-Noor (the mountain of light). Learn about every aspect of the world of diamonds. From the origins of diamonds, to the valuation, different types of diamond and the attributes that make them special and so valuable. Watch master polishers turn rough stones into brilliants in front of you during a 30 minute guided factory tour, gaze upon the diamond encrusted version of 'Starry Starry Night' by van Gogh, see how kings throughout history showed their power and status through our replica crowns and the famous diamond-studded ape skull.

Really Bad experience
I have paid 9 euro to have an audio guide with very few explanations on the process. Workers were doing nothing at the moment of the visit.We have ended the tour in less than 30 mins . It Is like to pay to just enter in a jewellery.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry the visit didn't meet your expectations. We'd like to understand what happened with the explanations and timing. Please reach out to us directly at ota@royalcoster.com so we can look into this.

Huge diamond replicas.
Great museum. Although mostly replicas, the guide was very knowledgeable. It helped when I and my wife visited the "Tower of London" and saw the crown jewels.

Amazing!
Amazing experience! The tour was incredibly fascinating, and the hospitality was absolutely perfect. A special mention to Mr. Simone Pilla for his kindness, professionalism, and for guiding us through the incredible world of diamonds. His passion and knowledge made the visit truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amsterdam: Diamond Museum Highlights & Guided Factory Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Amsterdam: Diamond Museum Highlights & Guided Factory Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amsterdam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amsterdam: Diamond Museum Highlights & Guided Factory Tour take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amsterdam is not rushed.
Is Amsterdam: Diamond Museum Highlights & Guided Factory Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 87 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amsterdam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amsterdam: Diamond Museum Highlights & Guided Factory Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amsterdam: Diamond Museum Highlights & Guided Factory Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amsterdam: Diamond Museum Highlights & Guided Factory Tour?
+
Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amsterdam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amsterdam and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amsterdam: Diamond Museum Highlights & Guided Factory Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amsterdam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Amsterdam?
+
On Outty we rank every Amsterdam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with 10 Tastings, Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group, Amsterdam 90 minutes Canal Cruise with bar and snacks on board.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Amsterdam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Amsterdam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Amsterdam: Diamond Museum Highlights & Guided Factory Tour?
+
Included: Self-guided Diamond Museum Highlight Exhibition Visit; Guided Factory Tour; and Entrance Ticket. Not included: Food and drinks; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Amsterdam: Diamond Museum Highlights & Guided Factory Tour?
+
The experience starts at Diamant Museum Amsterdam, Paulus Potterstraat 6, Amsterdam, 1071 CZ, The Netherlands. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Amsterdam: Diamond Museum Highlights & Guided Factory Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French, Dutch and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Amsterdam: Diamond Museum Highlights & Guided Factory Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
