I liked the canal cruise, even though the focus was more on the food and drink, but that's exactly what I liked about this tour. The pizza was from New York Pizza, unfortunately it was already cold when you got it. The drinks were always refilled and you also had the choice between 3 different types of wine. The guide was nice and talked live about the things you saw.

The museum is very good! I just would have liked two thinks: 1- related to the museum - the audio guide was really good even though I would have preferred an introduction on Van Gogh and an explanation on his artistic phases while we were moving across the levels of the museum. 2-i didn’t understand the the audio guide is related to the canal cruise and not to the museum. You can purchase the guide in the museum for 5 additional €

The canal cruise in Amsterdam was an unforgettable experience that I recommend to everyone. The quaint buildings and bridges along the canals were stunning and our captain was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Particularly impressive was the member of staff Martin who made our experience even better by impressing us with his knowledge and friendliness. Complimentary drinks on board also added to the pleasant atmosphere. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam.

Be sure to give yourself enough time to fully explore the museum... I spent three hours there and found myself rushing towards the end coz i was pressed for time with another place to be at. Also quick tip would be to go straight to the second floor and then make your way down...
