The tour was more for my boyfriend, he also thought the tour was guided and would have much preferred that. We think if we had a guided tour or at least the option to choose and learn more about the stadium/ football history, the tour would be great. We walked around at our own pace but it was too quickly and we didn't learn much. Overall it was a good tour but could be better.

Canal cruise was very good, but it was extremely difficult to find the correct cruise! In fact, boat staff said they had never heard of Headout!

I expected much more from this experience, I sat in the back ( which I arrived last) and it was not easy to follow the 'audio guide and see what was being told at the same time. Also, the 'sudioguide could be heard intermittently , basically expectations were much higher than reality.

I really appreciated that our tickets were honored the day after we'd booked because of an unexpected rainstorm. Thanks!

A relaxing cruise in the evening

Enjoy a wonderful evening cruise through the canals of Amsterdam that lets you bask in the warm glow of the city illuminated at night. The unique architecture of buildings lining the sides of the canals and the hundreds of bridges you can pass under are lit up with a thousand lights, creating the perfect setting for your cruise. You will be welcomed on board the luxurious boat by a waiter, from whom you can order a cold drink. Take advantage of the onboard audio guide with your free headphones, available in up to 21 different languages, that will walk you through the city of Amsterdam, its interesting history, and how it became what it is today. If you're not in the mood for the audioguide, you can just sit back and relax as the city introduces itself to you, one picturesque view at a time.
