Was a good boat tour for the cheap price. Wasn't an hour, was closer to 40 mins. Saw a decent amount of things. I am not sure we ever passed the Anne Frank house as advertised, and if we did the audio guide did not point it out like it did the other attractions.

Frank/Frankie/Harry potter was an excelent driver and tour guide. The meeting area was easy to find at the back of the station (on the water side) bus was speedy clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend booking.

  • Cruise along Amsterdam's iconic landmarks

    The best way to take in Amsterdam is from the water, and this cruise enables you to do just that. Take in the Dutch Baroque architecture that spreads across the canal banks and feel the artistic expression radiate from this UNESCO World Heritage Site. On your cruise, you’ll cover not just the 17th-century Renaissance age; but also the modern-age 21st-century look of Amsterdam. From the Anne Frank House Museum, the historic Heritage Museum, the hallowed Westerkerk Church and the Skinny Bridge, this cruise covers it all. Board from any of these three points – Central Station, Anne Frank House, or Leidse Square. You can even choose to upgrade to a semi-open boat.
