The canal cruise was interesting and showed some good areas of Amsterdam. Only draw back was the smelly fumes out the back of the boat but that is to be expected. Loved the ice bar! Many people criticising and saying it was a waste of money but I thought it was a fantastic experience and my wife is now obsessed with the nougat and pistachio liqueur.

Very good value for money. Ice bar is brilliant and the staff there are great fun. Canal cruise was very informative and was nice just to sit after walking around the city.

I loved. The Bar experience is incredible. The cruise is also wonderful, but I left it for the night and regretted it. I believe it is more functional during the day.

Explore the beauty of Amsterdam on a canal cruise to see the main highlights like the old buildings, markets, ports, and more before making a skip-the-line entrance to the ice-cold Xtracold Icebar.

You can take the tour in one go, or choose to enjoy each option on alternate days for maximum flexibility. As a self-guided tour, explore the city in your own time and see the sights of Amsterdam at a leisurely pace.

From the water, enjoy the best views of the canal houses and houseboats. Admire merchant buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries, Amsterdam’s Golden Age, when trade flourished and was reflected in the elaborately decorated façades. Learn more about the Dutch capital while listening to the onboard audio guide, available in 19 languages.
