Amsterdam is best viewed from the water and during this 75-minute canal cruise, you'll understand why. You'll experience the best of the historic city center.

Discover the city's top highlights, iconic bridges and the 17th-century buildings lining the canals. You'll come across new architecture and bridges, showing a historical city that is rooted in history but continues to develop and change.

Home to the world’s largest collection of Vincent van Gogh’s paintings, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam transports visitors on a fascinating journey through the life of the artist and his contemporaries. The museum introduces the complete story: the artist, the context, Van Gogh’s personal ambitions, his emotions, the myths that surround him and his influence right up until this very day. The Van Gogh Museum’s collection includes world-famous paintings such as Sunflowers, Almond Blossom and The Potato Eaters. The museum also organizes three temporary exhibitions every year.

    For the Van Gogh museum perfect for cruising was planned a snack box that we did not have and that was in the description: rather disappointing.

    Beware unhelpful inflexible company with zero customer service - I made a date mistake when booking and ask not to cancel but to swap day or time - company were totally inflexible conveniently blaming their tour operator - don’t believe the sales pitch about being able to cancel at no cost - I lost money and had to rebook independently which btw was much cheaper

  • For the walk in...

    For the boat ride, a drink and a snack were planned, nothing like this was proposed. In itself, it's not a big deal but if I paid for it, it's a shame!

    So glad that we had booked ahead of time…the museum was closed to reservations for that day. The museum had wonderful information on Van Gogh and insights from other artists on his life and works. We also enjoyed walking a short distance to grab our boat tour. LOVED the bag of snacks and drink for our ride. Again, great information about the tour (via recordings w/headsets) views and a comfortable ride.

  • Great experience
