The fact that they managed to allow us on when we arrived exactly on time! Definitely recommend coming a bit earlier than your time to get good seats but it meant we got to share our table with some wonderful people that we got to chatting to - which is a definite plus. Our captain was knowledgeable and would add extra info over the recorded audio guide. And yes, we sailed in scorching heat but the breeze was still nice and definitely and activity we would recomend to other people :)

Discover the charm of Amsterdam on a 75-min cruise through its canals, with the convenience of choosing from two centrally located boarding points.

Board near the Heineken Experience to start your day in the Museum District, or near the Hard Rock Cafe for exploring the Leidseplein entertainment area.

Enhance your journey with immersive audio commentary available in 19 languages, plus children under 12 years old can sail with discounted tickets.

Marvel at the baroque architecture lining the waterways and cruise past highlights such as Nieuwmarkt, once known for public executions, now filled with markets and cafes.

Great way to see Amsterdam and get an idea of the history of the city. The section outside the canals and onto the Amstel really highlights the scale of the city. Definitely worth checking out when you're there.

A nice tour with an audio guide in Italian. The only issue was that some of the headphone jacks weren't working properly.
