What To Expect
Anne Frank House
The Anne Frank House (Dutch: Anne Frank Huis) is a writer's house and biographical museum dedicated to Jewish wartime diarist Anne Frank. The building is located on a canal called the Prinsengracht, close to the Westerkerk, in central Amsterdam in the Netherlands. During World War II, Anne Frank hid from Nazi persecution with her family and four other people in hidden rooms at the rear of the 17th-century canal house, known as the Secret Annex (Dutch: Achterhuis). She did not survive the war but her wartime diary was published in 1947. Ten years later the Anne Frank Foundation was established to protect the property from developers who wanted to demolish the block
Westerkerk
The Westerkerk is a Reformed church within Dutch Protestant Calvinism in central Amsterdam, Netherlands. It lies in the most western part of the Grachtengordel neighborhood, next to the Jordaan, between the Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht.

5.00The boat was perfect, not overfull and the atmosphere was fantastic. Its a nice touch to have the sitting arranged in 3+3 with tables. Drinks included were good and there was variation of alcoholic and soft drinks. The guide in Dutch and English was very informative. Thank you for a nice trip.
Nice tour with initial difficulties.

4.00Nice tour with some side information about the city. Sorry, the TripAdvisor booking was not found by the organizer. In the end we were lucky that the ship was not fully booked and we were still taken.

1.00The boat never came - we were waiting on the dock for over an hour in the cold. No one could get a hold of the operator.

1.00Do not book this trip, this was booked as part of the start of the New Year celebrations however our party of 6 as well as approx 20 other people was left waiting for a boat that did not turn up. The contact number would not connect we waited well over 40 mins just in case it was running late but nothing.
You don't have to have

3.00There is no clear queue. As soon as you get in, a grape forms. The boat obviously only leaves when it's full. The tour was in English and German. I thought it was a pity, because you sell it as a German-speaking tour. Drinks service was great. If it accumulates on the water, then the captain accelerates. So that you rush past the attractions. I wouldn't do it again.
