On my first day in Amsterdam, I was so amazed by the city’s beauty as I took a boat tour to go all the way around and see all of its historic sites.

We enjoyed our evening cruise. We were able to catch the sunset and see some of the beautifully lit canals in the evening. Our boat driver provided some extra commentary which was great. Very fun! The boat was enclosed and warm, but you could open the windows to get some great photos. Would definitely recommend this boat ride.

It was King’s Day, but even so, the boat wasn’t too crowded; we were even able to board an earlier one than planned, and the commentary was in French, which made it very interesting for us and our granddaughters. It’s another way to explore Amsterdam. We really enjoyed it.
