This costs nearly 60 Euros for a couple and lasts 2 hours. This being the only night we could go, we foolishly went on a rainy night. Don't do this. The windows were steamy on the inside and covered with rain drops on the outside. We had aisle seats, which meant we simply couldn't see a thing. This made for... More

Both my son's (19,9) enjoyed this cruise watching the city go by and seeing the boats navigate the corner's and bridges were worth the relatively high cost. More

We took Gray Line canal boat yesterday. We chose Gray Line because it was the nearest canal boat to the station. I asked the captain if all the boats follow the same route and he replied "Yes!" which was a lie. In reality Gray Line's route lies away from the city centre through some modern wide canals with very few... More

I only had one day in Amsterdam, and a Canal Bus hop on hop off ticket helped me to make the most of it. For most of the day, I used the service for fairly short distances between attractions, then at the end of the day I took the blue line in full for a bit more sightseeing. Even though... More
