CoupleVerified booking4 days ago4/5The tour guide was good fun at introducing places and telling stories about buildings and sights we saw around during the cruise. I will definitely reccomend. Pictures are a little hard to take due to the design of the boat but I reccomend just sitting down and enjoyign the sights in person. The audio description comes in many languages but would be great if it could be pointed out by the guide as sometimes you cna be unsure as to what you are looking for.GGerrit M
GroupVerified booking6 days ago5/5Both attractions were well worth the visit. It’s great to experience Madame Tussauds in Amsterdam because many local people are also featured as wax figures. The canal cruise was a particularly wonderful experience because you get to see so much and learn a great deal about Amsterdam, its history, and the buildings. This certainly won’t be our last visit to Amsterdam.AArthur K
