Great canal tour! - we did a day cruise. Super friendly team on board, great sights and explanations, good drinks on offer, overall fantastic atmosphere and plenty of blankets to keep you warm during this cold weather. Highly recommend it!

Great value for money as it was so easy to travel on the teams and the bus. The many attractions were fantastic as well! Took the 3 day card and even when we decided to do a last minute visit to the Maritime Museum, it was easy too!

The boat trip was a really nice experience to get to see the city. Our captain and guide (Bram) was very friendly and provided us with very useful information and insightful stories about Amsterdam. Highly recommended

The tour guides had lots of knowledge but weren't overbearing at all! Great views the whole time.

Super interesting museum for kids and adults! To see everything you need to spend a day there.
