I absolutely loved how my Amsterdam experience combined beauty and culture in the perfect way. The 75-minute canal cruise was magical—gliding through the historic waterways, seeing the city’s iconic architecture from such a unique perspective, and feeling the charm of Amsterdam come alive. Visiting the Rijksmuseum afterwards made the day unforgettable. Standing in front of masterpieces by Rembrandt and Vermeer, I felt both inspired and connected to centuries of history. Together, the cruise and museum created the perfect balance of relaxation and discovery—I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

So glad we decided to go Rijks museum rather than Van Gogh (which I am sure is good, but didn't have time to do everything). We were able to see Van Gogh and Rembrandt and many, many other of the masters at the Rijks. And the food at the cafe there is delicious!! We were there for over 3 hours and skipped a lot! It is a beautiful place filled with beautiful pieces of history. The canal cruise was also very nice. Was guided cruise that showed many things we would have missed otherwise.

The rijksmuseum was fabulous. So much to see but a long waist and poor service at the cafe. The Blue boat cruise however was very poor. While the canal cruise itself was enjoyable the audio commentary and interaction from the boat captain was very limited. No. Lear directions as to what we were looking at and no interesting facts or takes about Amsterdam and its history. Very disappointed. We learnt more from our daughter who'd done a different boat cruise only 2 weeks before

Dive deep into history with the Rijksmuseum's 8,000 objects, then cruise past architectural landmarks like the Anne Frank House and Skinny Bridge in 60 mins.

Go on the cruise from Centraal Station, then head to the Rijksmuseum, just 15 mins away by public transport. Enjoy both on the same day, in any order you choose!

Use the in-depth multimedia guide to illuminate the art and history at the museum, and enjoy multilingual audio commentary on the cruise for city and landmark insights.

Get up close to over 400 world-renowned masterpieces, including Rembrandt's The Night Watch and Vermeer's The Milkmaid, housed within the Rijksmuseum.

Relax and enjoy the views from a glass-top boat for clear perspectives of Amsterdam's famous waterways, regardless of the weather.

The paintings looked so real, I appreciated the colours, not sure if some of them were restaured, but great work. Especialy the picture from 1500-1600 years.

A great collection of fine are and its history in Amsterdam and Europe...well spent 3.5 hrs and I would recommend as one of the cities 'must see's attraction. Only complaint might be the tour groups lingering in front of the museum's top works while discussing other attractions...a minor issue.
