Tickets are only supplied in electronic format. AGB Erfgoed is not responsible for the loss or theft of e-tickets. On the day of the visit, e-tickets may be inspected. AGB Erfgoed has the right to ask to see a valid and official proof (of identity) when discounted e-tickets have been purchased.
For bookings for which payment will be made at the reception desk, the user will receive a booking confirmation. On the day of the visit the user has to present the confirmation at the reception desk and pay the amount due with one of the available methods.
The user agrees to supply the correct details that are required to complete the order. The person who makes the purchase is considered to be the only purchaser.

GUIDED GROUP VISITS
A guide can be requested up to 10 working days prior to the date of the visit. The number of visitors per guide is limited and may differ depending on the tour and the location. The museum is entitled to refuse a group that exceeds the maximum number of participants.
As soon as the request is confirmed by BOEKjeBEZOEK, the user will receive a booking confirmation by e-mail. The booking will be binding from then on. The user will receive a request for payment after final confirmation by BOEKjeBEZOEK.
CANCELLATION AND AMENDMENT CONDITIONS

Guided tours can be cancelled free of charge up to 10 working days prior to the visit. In case of cancellation later than 10 working days prior to the date of the guided tour, the full amount will be charged.
