The city tour on the canal was one of the highlights of my holiday to Amsterdam. We was able to see a majority of the city from the canal and learn a lot about the history!

From there, we was able to pinpoint what we wanted to see within the city before we go home later that week.

It was amazing to learn more about how amsterdam came to be and what it was like in the 1800's!

Hot chocolate was delicious!
While the actual tour was great, the communication wasn’t. We booked the open boat tour and just happened to be in the area, so we stopped by to see if we could take an earlier boat if at all possible. It’s a great thing we did, because no one reached out (via email, text, or phone) to inform us that our original booking was canceled due to the rain. I fully understand canceling due to weather, but even the website and actual tickets said we would be notified if there were any changes/cancellations.

The Captain and Guide were very knowledgeable and humorous. Lots of interesting information about the city of Amsterdam from the vantage point of the canals.

Great, unforgettable experience! I booked through booking.com and started the tour around 4 PM. It gave me the chance to catch both some snippets of the sunset + evening time. Would have gone at 3:30 if my schedule allowed it so we're facing the west when the sunset happened.
