Details

Enjoy the sights of Amsterdam, a cosmopolitan city of the 21st century along with buildings from the 17th century floating down the canals. From the Music Building in the harbor to the VOC ship you can see many sides of the city, including the Golden Bend and Overhoeks, the city's newest quarters.

If you want something to munch on while you see the sights, you can add an optional snack box to your cruise. Onboard, you can listen to your personal audio guide with commentary in 20 languages and free headphones. The kid-specific "freshwater pirate" audio commentary and their very own goody bag that they can use on the boat will delight the little ones.

The activity was very good and positive. The team was very friendly and the tour went perfectly. A super fair price considering the activity. Amsterdam has a unique vibe and with this tour we can discover other corners of this beautiful city from another perspective. The audio guide explains well some details of the city.

Very informative tour and friendly captain and staff. We got there on the nick of time but the lady staff was very friendly and assured us we can relax a bit and take the next one coming in the next 15 minutes. 5 stars! 😊

A very pleasant atmosphere, good route. A little more storytelling would have been nice.

The tour was a nice change and wonderful as an overview from the water. However, we only sailed on the outer canals because the boat was very large. The inner smaller canals were not seen. We then made up for it on foot. There were only chairs and no comfortable benches. The boat was also quite old.

Very fun canal boat and not overcrowded, had a whole table to myself. Very nice interior and great that it was fully enclosed with the weather. They provide headphones and an audio guide in multiple languages. Would absolutely do again.

The trip only lasted a little over 70 minutes. The audio guide didn't have that much information, but there was live information from the captain, which was very nice.

The snack box was not appreciated, there were too many/too many specific snacks for everyone to like, perhaps a chocolate bar and classic crisps would have been more appreciated. But the ride was very nice!! It really deserves a lot
