I really liked the Moco and highly recommend it to anyone who likes contemporary art. Plus, the combo with the cruise was really nice and practically a steal at that price. It's highly recommended if you're interested in learning about the history of Amsterdam in addition to visiting it, but personally, I also recommend the cruise because seeing the city from the canals is a whole different experience.

Nice, varied rooms. Great photo opportunities. The translation of the text into English wasn't great (done by a translation app?). The conversation between the paintings was a funny effect, but after a while, it didn't hold our attention anymore.

Everything worked out great and we were even able to go half an hour earlier than booked! Very friendly staff, good explanations on board the boat in many languages! Departure point was easy to find! I would definitely do it again!

Both 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.

I’m Dutch, and I wanted to introduce my Belgian granddaughter to the Netherlands in an interactive way—and it worked out great. From the canal boat tour to the bikes, the ice skates, and the super-fun photos in traditional costumes and in paintings by Dutch masters. And let’s not forget the stroopwafel we received upon arrival. Amazing!!

A fun experience. Warm welcome, great highlights. Clean and tidy, with free lockers for your belongings. There’s a bar where you can buy drinks and light snacks. All in all, a fun thing to do.

The 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.
