Porque la persona que permite el acceso al barco, escoge como si fuera su derecho elegir, como si fuera un antro de jóvenes, a pesar de que nos encontrábamos primero en la fila, nos dejó pasar al final, siendo tres adultos mayores de 60 años, lo que sinceramente nos molestó mucho! Porque nos tuvimos que sentar separadas! Y aunque disfrutamos el paseo, íbamos molestas por esta situación!

Because the person who lets people onto the boat acted as if it were their right, like it was some kind of youth club, even though we were first in line, they let us board last, even though we were three adults over 60, which honestly bothered us a lot! Because we had to sit separately! And although we enjoyed the ride, we were annoyed by this situation!

El museo Van Gogh : excelente. EXCELENTE!! Punto obligado para ir en Ámsterdam. La organización, el.diseño , las explicaciones: todo 10 puntos. El crucero : cambiamos el horario sin problema, la gente que nos atendió fue maravillosa. El recorrido por los canales...podría obviarse. No me pareció nada para destacar, aunque el capitán de la navegación fue muy divertido. Pero el recorrido no me deslumbra.

El museo fue genial, compramos el audio guía y fuimos viendo la exposición a nuestro ritmo y sin perdernos nada sobre la historia de los cuadros de Van Gogh, y su vida. Por otra parte, el crucero merece muchísimo la pena. Vas viendo la cuidad desde otra perspectiva, y ¡sin pasar frío! La actividad en su totalidad es todo un acierto si quieres disfrutar y aprender en Amsterdam. Translate this opinion into English.

The museum was great, we bought the audio guide and went through the exhibition at our own pace without missing anything about the history of Van Gogh's paintings or his life. On the other hand, the cruise is well worth it. You see the city from another perspective, and without getting cold! The activity in its entirety is a great idea if you want to enjoy and learn in Amsterdam. Opinion translated. Show original.

Excepcional l visita al Museo de Van Gogh. Si nos chocó la tenue luz en las salas que dificultan ver con más detalles los cuadros. Me imagino que será para proteger las pinturas. La visita por la canales muy entretenida, de noche tiene un aire más bohemio Translate this opinion into English.

Exceptional visit to the Van Gogh Museum. We were shocked by the dim lighting in the rooms, which made it difficult to see the paintings in more detail. I imagine it was to protect the paintings. The visit along the canals was very entertaining, at night it had a more bohemian atmosphere. Opinion translated. Show original.

Íbamos con poco tiempo para visitar la ciudad y esta opción que incluye la entrada al Museo Van Gogh y el paseo por los canales está muy bien. Además da a tiempo de ver bien el museo. Lo único que recomiendo es que intentéis hacer el crucero de día. Nosotros lo hicimos cuando ya había anochecido y hay cosas y detalles que van explicando y apenas se ven. Los barcos salen durante todo el día y podéis elegir al momento el horario que mejor se os ajuste Translate this opinion into English.

We didn't have much time to visit the city, and this option, which includes entry to the Van Gogh Museum and a canal cruise, is excellent. It also gives you enough time to see the museum properly. My only recommendation is to try to do the cruise during the day. We did it after dark, and there are things and details that are explained but barely noticeable. The boats depart throughout the day, and you can choose the time that best suits you. Opinion translated. Show original.

La experiencia fue muy buena. Entramos rapidísimo al museo, incluso nos dejaron pasar antes de la hora. Menos mal que reservamos el tour, porque a las 11 ya no quedaban entradas. El crucero por los canales fue precioso, muy agradable para ver la ciudad desde otra perspectiva. El capitán fue un auténtico crack, hizo el recorrido muy divertido. Translate this opinion into English.

The experience was very good. We entered the museum very quickly, and they even let us in early. Thank goodness we booked the tour, because tickets were sold out by 11:00. The canal cruise was beautiful, a very pleasant way to see the city from another perspective. The captain was a real genius, and he made the tour very entertaining. Opinion translated.

El crucero fue entrenido, fue sencillo encontrar lugar y hacer el paseo. El museo es maravilloso, lástima que el turno para entrar era 16.15 y menos de 2 horas para disfrutar las obras, es un poco limitado. Sería mejor contar con 3 horas para ver el museo Van Gogh Translate this opinion into English.

The cruise was fun, and it was easy to find a spot and explore. The museum is wonderful. It's a shame that entry time was 4:15 p.m., and there was less than two hours to enjoy the works. It's a bit limited. It would be better to allow three hours to see the Van Gogh Museum. Opinion translated. Show original.

Museo fantastico a dir poco, unico problema avevamo acquistato 5 biglietti con un'unica prenotazione e leggeva 2 biglietti con lo stesso codice a barre .Probabilmente è stato un errore nell'emissione dei biglietti. Crociera carina, è durata solo un'ora e ci aspettavamo un pò più di spiegazioni. Translate this opinion into English.

Fantastic museum to say the least. The only problem was that we had purchased five tickets in one reservation, and it read two tickets with the same barcode. It was probably a ticket issuing error. The cruise was nice; it only lasted an hour, and we expected a little more explanation. Opinion translated. Show original.

Lo mejor fue el museo . Es un lugar imperdible si vienes a Ámsterdam. El crucero es excelente. Si no hubiera comprado los boletos con anticipación no sabría cuál naviera me ofrece la mejor opción. Hasta hoy muy satisfechos de haber comprado en Civitatis con anticipación . Todos los tours han sido muy buenos. Y de no haber comprado los boletos del museo antes para el mismo día ya no hay disponibles. Translate this opinion into English.

The best part was the museum. It's a must-see if you come to Amsterdam. The cruise is excellent. If I hadn't bought the tickets in advance, I wouldn't have known which cruise line offered the best option. To this day, I'm very satisfied that I bought tickets through Civitatis in advance. All the tours have been very good. And if I hadn't bought the museum tickets in advance for the same day, they're no longer available. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una muy buena opción hacer la combinación crucero y museo Van Gogh. Hay una parada de cruceros en la misma zona del museo que te permite primero disfrutar de un paseo por los canales, con audioguía en todos los idiomas y después maravillarse con los girasoles de Van Gogh o viceversa. Translate this opinion into English.

A great option is to combine a cruise with the Van Gogh Museum. There's a cruise stop in the museum area, allowing you to first enjoy a canal tour with an audio guide in all languages, and then marvel at Van Gogh's sunflowers, or vice versa. Opinion translated. Show original.

El museo estaba bastante masificado aunque pudimos entrar un poco antes de la hora sin que nos pusieran problemas. El crucero fue con “Lovers”y no dejan salir al exterior del barco para verlo mejor. Otras empresas de barco si dejaban. Y solo valían 12€. Además los cascos que dan para escuchar la información del sitio que pasas (gratis) el conector no funcionaba bien. Punto a favor es que podías elegir la hora del día. Y lo cogimos de día. De noche no se ve nada

The museum was quite crowded although we were able to enter a little earlier than expected without any problems. The cruise was with “Lovers” and they don’t let you go outside the boat to see it better. Other boat companies did. And they only cost €12. Also, the headphones they give you to listen to information about the site you pass (free) didn’t work properly. The plus point is that you could choose the time of day. And we took it during the day. At night you can’t see anything.
