We found the exhibition fascinating. The models are amazing and it has just the right amount of historical information - not too overwhelming! Also being a fairly small museum it suited us. Staff were very friendly too.

We compared several canal cruises in Amsterdam and honestly, some companies charge almost double for exactly the same experience. This cruise was by far the best value for money and ended up being our favorite. The boat was covered, which was great, and there was also a toilet on board. The cruise lasted about an hour and took us through the canals while providing interesting information about the city. The captain stopped at important landmarks, so there was plenty of time to enjoy the views and take photos. There was lots of space on board, and some seating areas even had tables, which made it feel a bit like sitting in a cozy restaurant while cruising through Amsterdam. It was self-catering, meaning you couldn't buy drinks on board, but that's also one of the reasons why the price was so reasonable. We paid only €15 per person, and online tickets were available for as little as €13. I highly recommend this cruise. One of the worst things when traveling is falling into tourist traps, but this company was friendly, honest, and offered an excellent experience at a fair price. The views were absolutely beautiful and it was one of the highlights of our trip.

I really enjoyed the canal cruise! What I appreciated the most was that there wasn’t an overload of information, so I could simply relax and enjoy the beautiful views of the city. I also noticed right away that the windows were perfectly clean, which made a huge difference. My first canal cruise experience was during the Light Festival with another company, and unfortunately the windows were so dirty that I could barely see anything outside. This time, the view was crystal clear, and it made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend this cruise to others!

Cruising the canals of Amsterdam was simply an incredible experience. Getting to know this historic and art-filled city is something we should all do at least once in our lives. Looking beyond the channels I could reflect on the importance of feeling this, being here and being able to know all this is something unforgettable for me. I will definitely come back more often, and I will do the same tour through the headout! Thank you very much.

Wander among models of Dam Square in 1675, the Red-Light District and the Anne Frank House, with video screens and audio guides explaining each display.

For a contrasting experience, cruise along Amsterdam’s famous canals on a heated glass-top boat with multilingual audio commentary and kid-friendly activities included.

The houseboats The rest was hard to appreciate because the audio guide worked at first but stopped working later on; so there were no explanations. Also, there was a lot of noise on the boat, including a child screaming—and the parents just let it happen!
