Canal cruises

The 60mins canal cruise was very pleasant. The skipper even dropped us off at the museum. The museum was excellent. We used the audio guide to find the 'highlights'. It was very informative, but we found it quite difficult to understand its directions around the museum. So we had to keep asking the very friendly staff.

"It was a lovely experience floating through the canals. There are audio descriptions through headphones with many language options. The boat had a good sized toilet at the rear, which was more accessible than previous boat trips I have been on. I opted for the snack box which included a large packet of plain crisps, a small pack of salted peanuts, a bag of popcorn, a stroopwaffle, and a choice of drink. - If the boat is busy the seats are too close together and often get in the way of other ...

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.

This a great way to see the city from a different perspective via the famous canals. The cruise lasts the full time which is good value for money. Make sure to bring your own headphones that can be plugged in if you want to listen to the narration. Also, there isn’t anywhere to listen to the narration on the seats outside so sit indoors if you want that. Overall, an enjoyable experience that I would definitely recommend.

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 a...

The only thing i have to underline Is that no skip the line ticket exists actually to access Van Gogh' s Museum. But we entered without problems...Furthermore i want to say that the boat trip was wonderful, especially thanks to the boatman and his talkative personality! Thank you again!

The Van Gogh Museum was more than worth it, but the canal cruise was quite boring! We even upgraded to the Amsterdam Light Festival ticket for 8 euros/ticket and it was not worth the trip. I would have skipped the light tour altogether. If you want to go on a canal cruise I recommended to do it in the day time or better yet go on the tram and see the city... much cheaper and you see so much more of the city in a shorter time frame.

It was a nice boat trip with plenty of information. View can be somewhat limited due to the roof and windows, particularly if sitting towards the aisle. Voice computer for multilingual explanations needed to be restarted once. But the captain provided lots of information in the meantime, and did also provide additional information thourhout the trip. The boat had a comfortable standard, with toilet as well. Rain protection was given. The roof is open during dry weather.
