We arrived for our canal tour to be told to walk to Moco Museum (my husband has difficulty walking) we were refused entry there with our ticket and sent back to the canal departure. By this time we were both exhausted. No one could explain why as the tickets were paid for! I requested a partial refund and was refused by the tour company as we had no time left to attend the moco museum before departing Amsterdam. I think this was unacceptable as it was not our fault. The canal tour however was informative and comfortable.

My wife and I took this wonderful 75 minute cruise immediately after arriving in Amsterdam. While I normally would not have done it right away, we did as part of a larger tour group. I now understand the value as you see and learn about things you might have missed on your own. It was a sunny and warm fall day so the cruise was perfect. See the photos and you'll understand why.

It was nice to see part of the city although the outside noise didn’t allow us to hear well what was being explained about every point.

Beautiful, peaceful canal tour of Amsterdam. I loved the snack box, because it let me try some local foods like stroopwafel and paprika chips. This was a great activity to do on my first day, because I was still learning my way around and the boat tour didn't have a set time when I had to be there. The museum was also close to the starting point and near a lot of other activities that I went back for later. Overall, a lovely introduction to Amsterdam.
