Sightseeing Cruises in Amsterdam

For our first time in Amsterdam I wanted to make it special to my family so I picked out one of the most famous museums there. Our journey started off well when we were mesmerized by the gardens we saw first up front. Continuing with our entrance we didn't need to wait much as per our pre-booked tickets. The staff at the door was very nice. All of the staff talked great in English and as tourist we felt integrated. The museum was enormous, had a lot to see. The art pieces gave our family a touch to Dutch history and the beauty of it. We recommend to have a guide because unfortunately we didn't have one and prehaps it was bigger than I had assumed and the idea that I could handle it alone was... wrong. Hopefully my daughters helped me a lot. We also recommend to go early morning because it can be crowded.But people there were really respectful! One of the craziest thing I might have seen there was the library! We were observeing the architecture when we saw really people reading and studying downstaris and the tourist up here were really respectful by being quiet! If you get tired there were portable chairs at the reception that you could take with you, very thoughtful! There was also a type of restaurant that was placed in a beautiful part. Tip: don't miss the gardens and also best time to vist: April and May. Overall it was and experience that I would choose it again. I'm so glad that this museum was on my list. Thank you Amsterdam!

If you really appreciate art work, take more time in Rijkmuseum. I went at 9.15am and had to rush out at 3pm for canal cruise. The cruise was pleasant as it was sunny! Suggest doing these 2 separate day or book canal cruise later at 4pm or 5pm. Take note to bring earbud for free app usage if not you will have to pay Euro 6.50 per device for the art narration. I think you can do without it as well but it will take longer to read all the descriptions.

Our boat tour in Amsterdam was absolutely wonderful. The views were breathtaking as we admired the city from the window, with its charming canals and beautiful scenery. It became even more special when we moved to the back of the boat, where there was an open area like a lovely floating terrace on the water. That part truly made the experience unforgettable. The captain was extremely kind, cheerful, and full of humor. He made us laugh a lot with his engaging commentary and explanations of the places, buildings, and bridges we passed. He is an excellent tour guide with extensive knowledge of Amsterdam. We also really enjoyed having our favorite drinks on board, which made the whole experience even more delightful.

The crew—and especially the captain—were incredibly friendly and helpful; they gave us an excellent tour of the canals and provided insightful commentary along the way

Such a fun and relaxing cruise-a great way to enjoy Amsterdam from the water. Alexia was a fantastic guide/bartender, and Fons was the best captain! He even gave our group a wonderful dinner recommendation for afterwards. I highly recommend this cruise!

Great deal—I saved a few euros, plus I didn't have to wait in line for a ticket. Best of all, the app is very convenient and easy to use, letting you buy various packages and even split them by day and person. I recommend it for anyone who needs to book in advance.

A very friendly captain with fascinating insights into the history of Amsterdam and entertaining anecdotes that perfectly complemented the automated commentary. A 60-minute cruise that even went beyond the advertised extra 15 minutes. All in all, an absolute must-do during a visit to the Venice of the North

The purchase went smoothly, and you could take the tram and scan your ticket at the scanner when boarding. The return trip was no problem either. Great!
