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.

Despite the bad weather, the ride was ok, at least window wipers were distributed. The price is somewhat excessive for this service.

The audioguide included interesting informstions (although I personally prefer a live tour guide). What I did not like, was the boat itself, as in the back, there was limited view because of the roof and the walls; unfortunately I could not see the buildings properly.

The whole tour was amazing. Good audio announcements which were very informative and exciting. Too bad the tour is only 1 hour. We would love to come back. We can highly recommend the tour in the evening.

Very nice tour in the evening when the city is illuminated. Very informative, we particularly liked the choice of 19 different languages. The captain was very nice and explained the history of Amsterdam from time to time.

An enchanting evening cruise

As the sun begins its descent, casting a golden hue over Amsterdam, there's no better way to experience the city's magic than on a leisurely 90-min canal cruise. Glide through the heart of the city, where historic buildings and charming bridges are reflected in the still waters. Witness iconic landmarks such as the Anne Frank House, a poignant reminder of the city's wartime history, and the Westerkerk, a towering church with a distinctive spire. Don't miss the opportunity to spot the Magere Brug, or Skinny Bridge, a picturesque red footbridge that's a favorite among photographers.

Elevate your experience

To enhance your evening cruise, consider upgrading your ticket to include a delightful snack or a sophisticated wine and cheese box. As you savor the delicious treats, let the city's ambiance wash over you. The gentle lapping of water, the twinkling lights, and the historic charm of Amsterdam create an unforgettable atmosphere. Whether you're sharing a romantic evening or enjoying a night out with friends, a canal cruise offers a unique perspective of this captivating city.
