Reviews
Brittany
This was so fun! The guides were funny and knowledgeable. The perfect way to end our trip to Amsterdam.
Ruth
There was an expert guided tour through the beautifully illuminated canals at night. You could also ask questions directly. The service staff was attentive and cheerful. The captain did great. It was wonderful and the cheese and three types of wine to choose from tasted wonderful. This tour is highly recommended :-) Keep it up! Greetings, Mr & Mrs Zurich ;-)
Steve
Boat was lovely and quiet and our guide "Rudolph" was brilliant. Thanks Rudolph :)
Mayke H.
The excellent museum is so big that it is a bit difficult to get around inside, so I recommend the audio guide. It is close to the city center. I recommend visiting it early in the morning, it is less crowded and so you can leave the afternoon to visit other sites.
Caroline
It was fantastic, we had the best time.
Sabrina
The Amsterdam canals were really fun with this type of tour
Sandra
I was very satisfied, the combination tour was very relaxed and the people were also very helpful with my mother's walker
Magdalena
Overall very good. The guides were late, the other skippers didn't know anything, which created a bit of a nervous atmosphere. But they apologized straight away and things started very quickly, drinks were offered straight away and off we went. There were also headphones, but everyone only wore them for a short time because there was more chatting. It was a really nice group of Germans and English (and us😂). The hour was over in a flash, it was very nice. Then off to the club, it was okay, pretty small and not much going on on a Saturday. But then we moved on after the shot and a drink. Really okay for the price. The only thing was that we weren't allowed to be "loud" on the boat, as the skipper often warned us, so the headphones were a bit unnecessary because it meant we sang along a lot, which wasn't welcome. Otherwise it was an experience.
Sara
Great food! Super nice service. Unfortunately, we had bad luck with another guest who misbehaved completely. The good man had probably already looked too deeply into the glass beforehand. You have to expect something like that... The trip is still highly recommended. Amsterdam is a dream, especially at night. 😀
Abdullah
It was good, but the information was a little superficial.
Nicola
The evening drive into the darkness was very pleasant and there was no lack of information. The captain's voice was quite loud; Unfortunately the pizza didn't taste good.
Michael
Nice 2 hour tour with delicious beer wine and steaks. Ideal for groups. Unfortunately you weren't allowed to play music on the jukebox.
Samantha
The museum is fantastic and has an amazing collection -sadly they do not have Start Night or the Night Cafe but they have so many others and a great narrative to follow as you go through the museum. The canal ride was nice and we appreciated the rest after so much sightseeing.
Sam
Got to see a lot of bars, meet great people on the pub crawl. Amazing boat cruise with history behind it and free drinks!
Juliana
We recommend! Very relaxed and the guide is very nice.
Nanhi
Overall experience was great. The guide and hostess on the boat were fabulous and friendly. The boat itself is not very comfortable as the top covering is low and seats are high so your neck and back are quite cramped if it’s a rainy day (which is often in Amsterdam). It would probably be way more comfortable with the top open but on a cold wet day the top needs to be covered.
Paul
Convenient meeting point close to our 5star hotel, enough cheese, wine & bread to last an hour & half, which ended up feeling like 10 minutes as two yanks talked our heads off…but overall very satisfying.
CHRISTINE
It's always very interesting to tour the city with the hop on hop off bus. It allows you to have a broad vision of the city and its extent. In addition, the comments allow you to learn about the history of the city. Absolutely do on the first day so you know what you're going to do next.
Karlijn t.
Everything worked out well, we didn’t have any problems with the tickets. Also, we requested some additional info by email that was quickly provided. The museum is very beautiful, and the audio guide is a must to understand VG’s work. The cruise was nice, and the Captain very friendly. I recommend both attractions.
Tatiana E.
This ticket was worth the cost. The museum was wonderful but very crowded as it was a holiday. We were able to enter immediately. The canal cruise was better than expected. The head phones allowed passengers to be informed. The boat was full and the canals busy be at of the holiday.

Hello, myself and my friends very much enjoyed the Rijksmuseum and the City Canal Cruise but i should let you know that the lady who served me in the office where i obtained our boat tickets was extremely unhelpful and did not want to engage with me and was reluctant to answer my questions. She also gave wrong information, i asked if we needed to book onto a particular trip and she said no, just turn up but when we arrived we found everyone else had booked and we were only let onto the boat after everyone else when they had found there were still spaces.
Ciara
From the start to finish Mouse was amazing.We were a multi generational family group aged between 21 and 78. He was patient , kind , funny and very informative . He helped us to make sense of the history and geography, very interesting. Showed us all the pubs and restaurants to go to. This is by far the best canal cruise in the city. We had cheese, wine, beer ,soft drinks, sweets, crackers, there was so much to serve everyone plenty. Thank you Mouse . We loved your energy.
