If you're short on time but really want to visit both attractions, it's totally worth it! I loved it—the Heineken tour is wonderful, and you definitely get to drink; they give you a token at the start of the tour. And the boat tour—need I say more? It's an absolute must-see!

Heineken was both a learning and fun experience. The canal cruise was smooth, and we got to see a lot of Amsterdam from a different angle.

Additional information

Heineken Experience + Amsterdam Canal Cruise

Your Heineken Experience ticket has a fixed timeslot chosen during booking. You must enter the museum exactly at this specific time. Your voucher needs to be scanned at the Heineken Experience entrance first. Your canal cruise ticket is an open ticket, meaning no timeslot is pre-allocated. You must redeem your open ticket inside one of the Gray Line Amsterdam/Blue Boat Company ticket offices to be assigned a timeslot for the cruise. Once redeemed, you can board the next available boat at either of the two docks listed below:

Dock 1: Opposite Hard Rock Cafe (Stadhouderskade 501). Take tram 1, 2, 5, 11, or 12 and stop at Leidseplein. The dock is a 2-min walk from there.

Dock 2: Opposite Heineken Experience (Stadhouderskade 550). Take tram 2, 5, or 12 and stop at Rijksmuseum (5-min walk) or take Metro 52 and stop at Vijzelgracht (2-min walk).

Heineken Experience

This experience includes alcoholic beverages. Availability is subject to age restrictions and local laws. Please carry a valid ID. Drink responsibly.

For safety reasons, guests under the age of 18 will not be served alcoholic drinks.

Facilities: lockers, cloakroom, and restroom.

Amsterdam Canal Cruise

Most boats have a roof that closes fully and have central heating on board. So even if it is cold outside, you will be warm inside the boat. The boats mostly sail within the city centre, where the water stays very calm, so they can sail in almost any weather.

If a cruise cannot take place due to extreme weather circumstances, the company will contact you to reschedule your ticket to another date.

Please arrive 15 mins before your departure.

Your voucher will be emailed to you shortly.

Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the starting point.

Please check your final voucher for the starting point details & specific instructions.
