We sat inside and listened to a recording with repeating stats and terrible jokes. Once we went outside and just enjoyed the cruise, it was 100 times more enjoyable. If it didn’t have the outside seating, I would say a canal tour is a skippable attraction.
Spending time in Amsterdam for my partners big birthday, booked this canal tour which lasted 70 minutes and it was an excellent way to see the city.
we spent 70 minutes touring the canal ways of Amsterdam and saw far more than if we had been on foot, so worth the money. Great boat and an excellent way of seeing such a beautiful town.
Could not hear the Captain very well but we were happy looking at stuff ourselves.
Suggestion moving forward is to have a more interactive map on the table so at all times you can see where the boat is in relation to Amsterdam City.
Wonderful time. Elegant and romantic. A delicious meal, superb service (all women including the chef and captain) beautiful views of the city at night.
