Cumple con lo prometido. Si bien, el barco es demasiado grande, con una zona de cristalera (debe estar bien en invierno) y una pequeña parte sin acristalar pero con un toldo. Hacía un día precioso y con el toldo te perdías una grandísima parte de las vistas y cuando pasabas bajo un puente, no veías nada. También, la capacidad del barco está tan maximizada, con asientos estrechos, que no podías apenas moverte para ver el otro lado o sacar una buena foto. Hay mejores opciones para paseo en barco.

It delivers on what it promises. However, the boat is too big, with a glass area (it should be fine in winter) and a small unglazed area with an awning. It was a beautiful day, and with the awning, you missed a huge portion of the view, and when you passed under a bridge, you couldn't see anything. Also, the boat's capacity is so maximized, with cramped seats, that you could barely move to see the other side or take a good photo. There are better options for boat trips.

Se nos atrasó el vuelo y no llegamos a la actividad, pero al llegar pudimos volver a comprar los boletos y tomar el mismo paseo con el mismo proveedor. La verdad está muy bonito el paseo, la ciudad está preciosa y la experiencia de conocerla a través de sus canales es un 10/10. Translate this opinion into English.

Our flight was delayed and we didn't make it to the activity, but upon arrival we were able to repurchase tickets and take the same tour with the same provider. The tour is truly beautiful, the city is gorgeous, and the experience of exploring it through its canals is a 10/10. Opinion translated. Show original.

Visita es agradable, audioguía muy bien porque explica monumentos que ves durante el trayecto y un poco de contexto histórico. Negativo:aforo debería ser menor,barco muy lleno y según donde estés sentado no tienes buena visibilidad. Nosotros estábamos al fondo ,fuera y bien. Deberían hacer más barcos Translate this opinion into English.

The tour is pleasant. The audio guide is very good, explaining the monuments you see along the way and providing a bit of historical context. Negative: The capacity could be smaller, the boat is very crowded, and depending on where you sit, you don't have good visibility. We were at the back, outside, and it was fine. They should make more boats. Opinion translated. Show original.

He realizado el tour en barco por los canales de Amsterdam con mi familia y la experiencia ha sido estupenda. El único problema es que hacía mucha calor y que el conductor hablaba en inglés en algunas ocasiones y mi familia no lo entendía, por lo demás, genial! Las audio-guías permitían seguir el tour en español de manera correcta. Translate this opinion into English.

I took the boat tour through the canals of Amsterdam with my family and the experience was wonderful. The only problem was that it was very hot and the driver spoke in English on occasion, which my family couldn't understand. Otherwise, it was great! The audio guides made it possible to follow the tour in Spanish. Opinion translated. Show original.

Paseo por los canales más grandes de la ciudad. La autoguia te explica lo que vas viendo. La pena que nos tocó en la parte de cristales y es complicado hacer fotos. Tampoco te puedes levantar para hacer fotos, ya que no te dejan por seguridad. Puntual la salida y la llegada. Vale la pena hacerlo. Translate this opinion into English.

A walk along the city's largest canals. The self-guide explains what you're seeing. It's a shame we were stuck in the glass section, and it's difficult to take photos. You can't even stand up to take photos, as they won't let you for safety reasons. Departure and arrival are on time. It's worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Estuvo bien. Fue un paseo agradable en barco cerrado, con explicaciones del capitán y a través de auriculares. Bien ajustado al paso por los lugares explicados. Es recomendable si quieres conocer parte de Ámsterdam por los canales, pero no esperes más.

It was good. It was a pleasant tour on a closed boat, with explanations from the captain and through headphones. It fit well with the guided tours. It's recommended if you want to explore part of Amsterdam through the canals, but don't wait any longer.

El viaje en el barco estuvo bien.. se pueden ver varias cosas, el audioguía funcionaba de forma sincronizada pero es difícil sacar fotos si no estás al lado de las ventanas.. Lo recomiendo para que se pueda conocer Amsterdam a través de sus canales. Translate this opinion into English.

The boat trip was great. You can see a variety of things, the audio guide worked synchronously, but it's hard to take photos unless you're right next to the windows. I recommend it for exploring Amsterdam through its canals. Opinion translated. Show original.

Se hace corto, dura sólo una hora, y las explicaciones son algo escasas, Amsterdam da más de sí. La audioguia está bien, el espacio dentro del barco también. Mucha gente, pero bien organizado. Durante el trayecto se explican curiosidades de monumentos, canales ... pero también de dos restaurantes/bares que no tiene mucho que ver con la cultura holandesa. Punto a mejorar Translate this opinion into English.

It's short, lasting only an hour, and the explanations are somewhat sparse; Amsterdam offers more. The audio guide is good, as is the space on the boat. It's crowded, but well-organized. During the trip, interesting facts about monuments, canals, and even two restaurants/bars that don't have much to do with Dutch culture are explained. This could be a point for improvement.

El tour es interesante e un imprescindible cuando visitas Amsterdam. Aun así, si no llegamos a ir a la oficina de Lover’s Tour (quien hace el tour), nos lo perdemos, porque en el punto de encuentro no ha venido nadie y en ningún momento se nos ha informado de que no vendría nadie a buscarnos ni de a ayudarnos a saber dónde ir. Si no llegamos a mirar bien el tiquet, no sabríamos ni que Lover’s Tour es quien hacía realmente el tour.

The tour is interesting and a must-do when visiting Amsterdam. Even so, if we didn't make it to the Lover's Tour office (which runs the tour), we'd miss it, because no one came to the meeting point and we were never informed that no one would be coming to pick us up or help us find our way. If we hadn't checked the ticket carefully, we wouldn't even know that Lover's Tour was actually running the tour.

A guia Patrícia foi muito atenciosa. Deu várias dicas e explicações da cidade. Nos levou pra conhecer um pouco da história de Amsterdã e indicar bons locais pra comer. É um tour bem interessante. Aconselho a fazer logo quando chegar a cidade pra saber como funcionam as coisas. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide Patrícia was very attentive. She gave us lots of tips and explanations about the city. She took us to learn a little about the history of Amsterdam and recommended good places to eat. It's a very interesting tour. I recommend taking it as soon as you arrive in the city to see how things work. Opinion translated. Show original.

El paseo estuvo muy bien, la explicación durante el trayecto también. Lo único que estaría bien mejorar es que digan cuál es la empresa que va a hacer el paseo xq no están como Civitatis y hay muchas y anda uno corriendo y preguntando cuál es la correcta. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was very good, as was the explanation along the way. The only thing that could be improved is to specify which company is doing the tour, because they're not like Civitatis, and there are many, so you have to run around asking which one is the right one. Opinion translated. Show original.

No estuvo mal ,pero no la pude disfrutar al cien por cien puesto que era con audioguias y a veces cuando te daban la explicación ya habías pasado por el lugar además el capitán al comentar cosas en inglés las personas que no sabemos por eso cojimos el paseo en español no entendíamos nada mientras el resto de pasajeros lo disfrutaban . Pero muy bonito ver Ámsterdam desde el canal. Translate this opinion into English.

It wasn't bad, but I couldn't fully enjoy it because it came with audio guides, and sometimes by the time they gave you the explanations, you'd already been there. Also, when the captain commented in English, people we didn't know, so we took the tour in Spanish and couldn't understand anything, while the rest of the passengers enjoyed it. But it was very beautiful to see Amsterdam from the canal. Opinion translated. Show original.

Supongo que tenia expectativas muy altas. No es que esté mal, solo es que esperaba más. Las audio guías, me sorprendió que las iban poniendo a mano el capitán de la embarcación. Ni siquiera estaban geolocalizadas, algo tan sencillo en los tiempos que estamos. Me hubiera gustado que me explicaran muchas más cosas.

I guess I had very high expectations. It's not that it's bad, I just expected more. I was surprised that the audio guides were provided by the captain of the boat. They weren't even geolocated, something so simple in these times. I would have liked them to explain a lot more things to me.

O passeio de barco pelos canais foi uma escolha assertiva. Uma experiência super agradável num final de tarde em Amsterdam: não poderia ter sido melhor. O passeio é calmo, repleto de informações, é possível escolher o idioma desejado através do áudio-guia disponível, o que torna a escolha ainda mais democrática e acessível.

The boat trip through the canals was a great choice. A super pleasant experience on a late afternoon in Amsterdam: it couldn't have been better.
