Las actividades estuvieron geniales, pero creo que en la descripción de la actividad debería estar más claro las distancias entre el paseo en barco y la Heineken experience, porque al momento de comprar no es información que se muestre claramente. Debido a esto casi pierdo la entrada a la Heineken al haber seleccionado poco tiempo entre las dos actividades. Yo hice el paseo en barco primero y recomendaría por lo menos dos horas de separación entre las actividades, mi tour duró hora y media. Translate this opinion into English.

The activities were great, but I think that the description of the activity should be clearer about the distances between the boat ride and the Heineken experience, because at the time of purchase it is not information that is clearly shown. Because of this I almost missed the entrance to the Heineken as I had selected little time between the two activities. I did the boat ride first and I would recommend at least two hours of separation between activities, my tour lasted an hour and a half. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour de heineken es por cuenta de uno, solo escucha uno ciertos audios pero todo es uno solo. Muy rica cerveza, esperaba más de esta experiencia. En cuanto a el paseo del barco, muy simple y sencillo. Las indicaciones en donde tomar el barco no son muy claras. Igual, todo es por medio de audios. Muy sencillo para lo que se pagó.

The Heineken tour is self-guided; you only listen to certain audio guides, but it's all part of the experience. The beer was very good, but I expected more from this experience. As for the boat trip, it was very basic and simple. The directions for boarding the boat weren't very clear. Again, everything is done via audio guides. Very basic for what you paid.

Heiniken bueno, no está mal pero no es una cosa que repetiría, más que nada porque a mí no me gusta la cerveza. Paseo en barco no está mal, eso sí está mal indicado, Civitatis te indica una dirección que no es la correcta, ahí es donde termina la actividad, encima preguntas a la gente y lo q te dicen es que como no pone el nombre de la empresa no sabes quién es, yo lo supe x casualidad, es lovers, sinos os podéis volver locos porque hay muchas.

Heineken is okay, not bad, but not something I'd repeat, mainly because I don't like beer. The boat trip isn't bad, but it's poorly signposted. Civitatis gives you the wrong address, and that's where the activity ends. On top of that, when you ask people, they tell you that since the company name isn't listed, you don't know who it is. I found out by chance; it's Lovers. Otherwise, you'll go crazy because there are so many of them.

La Heineken Experience, muy bien. Una experiencia muy chula y diferente. Lo más negativo es que aunque en la parte del paseo en barco por el canal te pone la dirección, no te pone el barco o la compañía con la que es, por lo que si vas muy justo de tiempo puede que no llegues a esta parte. Nosotros llegamos justos de tiempo por este motivo, pero después el paseo muy bien.

The Heineken Experience, very good. A very cool and different experience. The most negative thing is that although in the part of the boat trip through the canal it gives you the address, it does not give you the boat or the company it is with, so if you are very tight on time you may not get to this part . We arrived just in time for this reason, but afterwards the walk was very good.

Sentimos si hubo algún tipo de confusión con respecto al barco correspondiente. En el bono de la reserva brindamos el número de contacto de nuestro equipo local, quienes pueden atender a cualquier duda. Aun así, agradecemos los comentarios y tomamos nota de ellos con intención de mejorar. Translate this opinion into English.

Es una pena ya que es una actividad bonita pero las 2 horas en Inglés para los que no entendemos fue un pegote la parte explicativa. Vi en falta un guía en español o unos auriculares para traducir ya que en cualquier tour te lo facilitan. Deberían mejorar esa parte y facilitar auriculares.

It's a shame since it's a nice activity but the 2 hours in English for those of us who don't understand the explanatory part was a glob. I saw a lack of a guide in Spanish or headphones to translate since in any tour they provide it for you. They should improve that part and provide headphones.

Debería de tener un guía en español para grupos, el audio guía es un fracaso ya que te pierdes mucha explicación que dan en el momento. Una vez finalizado el tour teníamos el paseo en barca el cual podían indicar que es en el otro extremo de la ciudad no en el embarcadero que queda justo frente a la fábrica ya que por las pésimas indicaciones perdimos la barca y no pudimos hacer la actividad. La distancia de un punto a otro era de 38 min caminando.

They should have a Spanish-speaking guide for groups; the audio guide is a failure because you miss a lot of the explanations they give live. After the tour, we were supposed to take a boat trip, but they should indicate that it departs from the other side of town, not from the dock right in front of the factory. Because of the terrible directions, we missed the boat and couldn't do the activity. The distance between the two points was a 38-minute walk.

La experiencia Heineken genial. Ahora la visita en barco no fue como esperábamos. Según el correo que nos enviaron de Civitatis el barco salía de un punto el cual estuvimos esperando cerca de una hora y cuando llegó el barco no paraba en ese punto. Tuvimos que ir a la otra punta de la ciudad a coger el barco y gracias a que un trabajador de la excursión nos lo dijo porque los puntos que daba civitatis para cogerlo no estaban disponibles.

The Heineken experience was great. However, the boat tour wasn't what we expected. According to the email Civitatis sent us, the boat was supposed to depart from a certain point, which we waited for almost an hour to reach. When it finally arrived, the boat didn't stop there. We had to go to the other side of the city to catch the boat, and we were lucky enough to find out because the designated boarding points provided by Civitatis weren't available.

A experiência em si foi legal, mas as orientações do voucher estão erradas e por pouco não perdemos o passeio. O voucher indica que se pode embarcar em vários pontos diferentes, quando na verdade o único ponto de embarque e desembarque é próximo a estação central. Outra coisa também é que não fica claro que os cruises são da Lovers e não da Heineken, até então havíamos entendido que era da Heineken e por ter o Heineken Experience associado o desembarque seria próximo à fábrica, o que não foi.

I travelled with my partner

Confirmamos que é possível embarcar em qualquer uma das paradas estabelecidas. Lamentamos se isso causou alguma confusão e levaremos isso em consideração para continuar melhorando o serviço que oferecemos.

No pudimos hacer el paseo en barco, debido a que no se presentó el barco a su hora, ni media hora después. Además el sitio donde teníamos que estar, la taquilla estaba cerrada, por lo que no pudimos tampoco preguntar, ni obtener ningún tipo de información. Por lo que después de no hacer esa excursión, nos fuimos a la heneken experience, donde ahí si tuvimos la posibilidad de hacer la visita. Adjunto foto, que ya la pasé a vuestros compañeros el mismo día, a esas horas.

We weren't able to take the boat trip because the boat didn't show up on time, not even half an hour late. Furthermore, the ticket office where we were supposed to be was closed, so we couldn't ask questions or get any information. So, after skipping the excursion, we went to the Heneken Experience, where we did have the opportunity to visit. I've attached a photo, which I shared with your colleagues the same day, at that time.

La verdad que el paseo en barco dejó un poco que desear, un paseo sencillo y tranquilo. Por otro lado la experiencia Heineken recomiendo que lleven auriculares para el movil y así poder escuchar las explicaciones en tu idioma, ya que si no tienes un buen nivel de ingles no te vas a enterar de nada, por otro lado la organización es un poco desastre, ya que entramos mucha gente y se formó una aglomeración y no veiamos nada de lo que explicaba. A medida qje avanzamos mejoró.

The truth is that the boat ride left a little to be desired, a simple and calm ride. On the other hand, for the Heineken experience, I recommend that you bring headphones for your mobile phone so that you can listen to the explanations in your language, since if you don't have a good level of English you won't understand anything. On the other hand, the organization is a bit of a disaster, since there were a lot of people and a crowd formed and we couldn't see anything that was explained. As we went along, it got better.

Sentimos que la experiencia no se ajustase del todo a lo esperado. En Civitatis solo deseamos que nuestros clientes vivan las mejores experiencias posibles. Para ello, tomamos nota de todos los comentarios con intención de mejorar. Translate this opinion into English.

L'esperienza in generale è stata molto piacevole ed è ben organizzata. Tuttavia, le indicazioni fornite non sono molto chiare. Sarebbe utile specificare meglio luogo e orari dei vari battelli o indicare l'applicazione "City sightseeing" come riferimento. Translate this opinion into English.

The overall experience was very pleasant and well-organized. However, the directions provided aren't very clear. It would be helpful to better specify the locations and times of the various boats or to use the "City Sightseeing" app as a reference. Opinion translated. Show original.

A experiência Heineken é incrível, vale muito a pena a visita para quem aprecia a Heineken, o passeio de barco também é excelente é a melhor forma de conhecer a cidade de Amsterdã de uma forma mais completa, o único problema com essa atividade é o tempo que perdemos seguindo o passo a passo, por exemplo no voucher fala para você ir ate a loja ticket trocar o papel da civitatis pelo ingresso, isso não é necessário vc entra nas duas atividades com o próprio papel da civitatis Translate this opinion into English.

The Heineken experience is incredible, it's well worth a visit for those who enjoy Heineken, the boat trip is also excellent and the best way to get to know the city of Amsterdam in a more complete way, the only problem with this activity is the time we wasted following the step by step, for example, the voucher tells you to go to the ticket store to exchange the Civitatis paper for the ticket, this is not necessary, you enter both activities with the Civitatis paper itself.
