“This is a wonderful your! Zet (not suit of his spelling) out your guide was incredible. He was fun, full of energy, entertaining and very knowledgeable. The captain (do not remember his name) was also knowledgeable and they both also answered questions with ease. The captain maneuvered the canals like a pro. Great tour especially during the Festival of Lights. Highly recommend!”

“Great tour of Amsterdam via the water would highly recommend 👌”
90-minute heated Amsterdam canal cruise with unlimited Heineken, Dutch snacks, and guided sights from near Rijksmuseum or Central Station.
“I was quite disappointed by this tour. While the ratings are excellent, I did not think it lived up to it. First, the boat is not heated. If you go on a frisky evening, dress appropriately. Second, the fact that the boat is not heated leads to the windows to fog up meaning you will miss all the views. Sure, rags and squeegees are provided but, if the guests across from you doesn’t feel like clearing up the window, you are out of luck. It’s also a bit misleading to say cheese is being served… there’s 2 ramekin size bowl with about 10 small cubes… Finally, the tour was not…”
6-hour day trip from Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans windmills, Volendam fishing village, and Marken, plus cheese tasting and Wi-Fi.

A full day north of Amsterdam: windmills at Zaanse Schans, clog-making, Edam cheese tasting, plus Volendam and Marken.
“A lovely trip. We got to see quite a lot. I wish we'd had more time at the windmills but I know it would have been at the expense of other places.”
