Tickets with a guide
Rijksmuseum tickets on this site always come with a guide: four listings, from $83 for a two-hour group tour with the entrance ticket included, to $324 for a private tour whose description says the price covers museum entry for two people and the guide works for tips. None of them is a bare entry ticket. Each tour lasts two hours, or 5.5 hours if you add the Van Gogh Museum. They are for visitors who want Rembrandt, Vermeer and the Dutch Golden Age explained in front of the paintings.
Quick answer
The short answer. The cheapest and most reviewed of these Rijksmuseum tickets is the two-hour guided tour with the entrance ticket included: $83, rated 4.8 from 1,100 reviews. For a private guide, $223 buys two hours on Rembrandt, Vermeer and Hals, rated 5.0 from 60 reviews.
What you are buying
Every listing on this page is a guided visit. You pay for a guide who takes you through the collection, and on three of the four the museum entry is stated as part of the price. If you want only the door and your own pace, none of these is that product, and the prices here are not the museum desk price.
If you are comparing Rijksmuseum Amsterdam tickets because you want the paintings explained, read the inclusions first. The group tour has the entrance ticket in its name. The combined tour promises skip-the-line access to both museums. The private tour with entry says the ticket covers museum entry for two people. The other private tour describes two hours with the Dutch Masters and does not mention entry, so check that listing before you pay.
One more detail matters for the price. The description of the $324 private tour calls it tip based, so the guide is paid on the day on top of what you book here.

The Van Gogh Museum guide→Is it worth it?
The Rijksmuseum tickets price here runs from $83 to $324. Per hour, the group tour costs $41.50, the private tour $111.50 and the private tour with entry for two $162, before the tip its description asks for. The combined day with the Van Gogh Museum is $52.55 an hour across two collections.
The ratings are close: 4.8 to 5.0 across all four. The difference is the evidence behind them. The group tour's 4.8 rests on 1,100 reviews; the private tour with entry for two has 8.
So, honestly: for most visitors the $83 group tour is the sensible choice here. It is the cheapest, it states the entry, and it has by far the most reviews. Pay for a private guide if you want the questions answered for your party alone. Compare the rest of the city on all 72 tours compared, or see private tours of the city.
