  • Mesuem and canal cruise

    The mesuem is fabulous with a great cafe. The canal tour is amazing and definitely worth it. Great value and experience.

  • So confusing

    The museum was unreal and a must do. But this package? Nope. Just get tickets thru the museum site. I thought this would be a guided experience, but everything about it was confusing. I saw the boat and immediately wanted to skip. I ended up even skipping the canal tour and booked with another boat (one that was open air). Save your time, book direct thru the museum and find another boat tour when you’re in the city and can see what you’re signing up for.

    The boat ride was beautiful. Definitely recommended. Its the best value for money kind of tour. You have your own time to do the musuem and the boat ticket is open which you can choose to take same day any time or some other day at a specified time.

  • Combination of canal cruise and Rijkmusem are must sees when in Amsterdam.

    The canal ride by the Blue Boat company was a great way to see Amsterdam! Easier than walking everywhere. We enjoyed the Rijksmusem and especially the 2nd floor which has many Rembrandt’s and some Vermeer paintings. I didnt realize that the timed entry is for the museum and the canal ride can be taken anytime. So be sure to go to the museum at the stated time.
