What people are saying about The Amstel

The package is a must do for those visiting Amsterdam for the first time! The RIJKSMUSEUM is an enriching experience. Seeing the familiar Rembrandt and Vermeer paintings in real life and appreciating the history and the stories behind them was a feast! The app providing an engaging background to the paintings was both educational and entertaining. Having a cloakroom where you can put your coat allows you to wonder around comfortably. We were fortunate as there were special exhibitions of the Clara, the white Rhino and the contemporary exhibition of the blooming flowers. The caffe has good food too. The boat tour is another unmissable treat! You can enjoy the well chosen music while listening the excellent guide or go out to take those magical shots of the romantic canals and bridges at night! The package is definitely value for money! Enjoy!

Van Gogh museum was fantastic, great facilities for personal belonging storage. Very helpful friendly staff . Good experience for children , great selection of gifts in shop. The canal trip was good , good information provided by the guide . Seating on boat very cramped however , 3 facing 3 ,

The Rijksmuseum was an amazing experience, the city canal cruise was totally crap, you can’t see anything, the guide sound began way too early so it was almost impossible to find what they are talking about and to see the buildings.

Отличный музей . Стоит посетить хотябы раз . Все очень удобно включая аудио гид на разных языках
