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.

El museo imprescindible si te gusta Van Gogh y el impresionismo. No están todas las obras, pero está dispuesto de una forma muy didáctica que te acerca al mundo del pintor y a su forma de ser y pensar. El crucero por el canal muy chulo también. Sí vas a Amsterdam y no navegas por los canales te quedas a medias. Translate this opinion into English.

The museum is a must if you like Van Gogh and impressionism. Not all the works are there, but it is arranged in a very educational way that brings you closer to the world of the painter and his way of being and thinking. The canal cruise is also very cool. If you go to Amsterdam and don't sail along the canals, you'll be left halfway. Opinion translated. Show original.

El paseo en barca por los canales de Amsterdam estuvo muy bien. La audioguía en español nos ayudó a disfrutar de la visita. Fue fácil conseguir los tickets y localizar el embarcadero cercano de donde salíamos. También la entrada al museo de Van Gogh. Muy recomendable Translate this opinion into English.

El museo es una gran vivencia artística con las mejores obras de Van Gogh, este es el museo de la familia. Luego el paseo por los canales es una experiencia distinta ya que verás la ciudad desde sus propios canales..... Un combo esencial para conocer Amsterdam Translate this opinion into English.

Muy recomendable, tanto el museo como el crucero por los canales. El tiempo en Ámsterdam a veces puede ser un poco incordio con la lluvia pero al estar ambos techados viene genial para este tipo de días. El museo no es excesivamente grande y no se hace pesado, me pareció muy interesante, la verdad. El crucero por los canales nos gustó mucho, en el mismo crucero te dan unos auriculares y puedes ir escuchando curiosidades e historia sobre los sitios que vas pasando. Translate this opinion into English.

Highly recommended, both the museum and the canal cruise. The weather in Amsterdam can sometimes be a bit annoying with the rain but being both covered is great for these types of days. The museum is not excessively large and it does not get boring, I found it very interesting, to be honest. We really liked the canal cruise, on the same cruise they give you headphones and you can listen to curiosities and history about the places you are passing. Opinion translated. Show original.

El museo muy bien poque compremos el audio i asi nos fuimos enterando de la historia de los cuadros.

Me gusto mucho que durante el trayecto por los canales escucharamos la historia de la ciudad Recomendamos esta actividad! Eso sii intentd hacer el crucero de dia!!

The museum is very good because we bought the audio and that's how we learned about the history of the paintings. (On the other hand, we had to visit the canals at 6:15 p.m. and since it was night we didn't see much. I really liked that during the journey through the canals we heard the history of the city. We recommend this activity! I did try to do the day cruise!! Pili, Mary and Miriam Opinion translated. Show original.

La entrada combinada al Museo Van Gogh y tour en barco por el río es muy buena opción y te da libertad para ver el museo ( Espectacular ) en el horario que reserves y hacer el tour por el río a la hora que más te interese. El tour está bien pero hay que hacerlo de día. Lo hicimos de noche y te pierdes mucho porque las calles no están bien iluminadas y te comentan cosas que no puedes ver porque está oscuro. El barco es cubierto y con calefacción pero no tiene bar. Recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

The combined entrance to the Van Gogh Museum and river boat tour is a very good option and gives you the freedom to see the museum (Spectacular) at the time you reserve and take the river tour at the time that most interests you. The tour is good but you have to do it during the day. We did it at night and you get lost a lot because the streets are not well lit and they tell you things that you can't see because it's dark. The boat is covered and heated but does not have a bar. Recommendable. Opinion translated. Show original.
