The canal tour and National Maritime Museum package was a great deal! We started with the friendly Capatain of the Lover's Canal Boat tour and got some great information. Then there was a short walk to the Maritime Museum where the two highlights were the courtyard's glass ceiling and open concept and the exhibitions; the Amsterdam, a recreation of a Dutch East India Company ship was a real highlight!

Great combo :) The canal cruise is truly a MUST for any trip to Amsterdam, and the wax museum is simply a cool, quick highlight. With this combo you get around a lot and see the city from every angle. Really a top combo, no matter your age.

On Saturday we took the canal cruise and it was very beautiful because it allowed us to see some parts of the city we hadn't visited yet and learn about the history of the place. Captain Eddy also knew how to add a touch of cheerfulness and fun. Today, on the other hand, we visited the museum dedicated to one of our favorite painters, Van Gogh. Many works are on display, and the audio guide allows you to appreciate the experience even more and immerse yourself in it. Highly recommended!

Canal cruise is a fantastic experience. A must see. The GVB all day passes is a fantastic way to get around Amsterdam. Unlimited changes and fares is just easy

A Positive Experience with One Minor Point to Note We enjoyed the GVB Public Transportation Pass combo ticket, which included a 1-hour canal cruise with Lovers Canal Cruises. The GVB 3-day pass was also very easy to activate, and we were able to choose our own start time. The boat tour was beautiful and a fun way to explore Amsterdam from the water. An extra bonus was the captain, whose hilarious sense of humor created a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Definitely recommended! One minor drawback was the communication regarding the canal cruise. We didn’t receive the email with the QR code for the boat tour until the day of the cruise. As far as we could tell, it wasn’t clearly stated anywhere that this would be sent only on the day of the tour. As a result, it remained unclear for a moment whether we would actually receive the QR code. The name of the boat company wasn’t mentioned until that same day either. But all in all, it was a very successful combination, with a beautiful boat tour and a particularly friendly captain. 👍

Ordering and paying were very easy. The documents arrived very quickly via email and were also available in the app. Using the day pass was very easy. The one-hour canal cruise was a lot of fun; we got to see parts of the city we wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. The boat guide was very informative and shared a lot of additional details. I’d do it again anytime.
