The high nave is flanked by the two lower aisles. The three-aisled basilica has a rectangular plan with two transepts of equal dimensions.

The tour was amazing! The Van Gogh Museum was booked fully for a month in advance, but this tour allowed me to still be able to visit it during my travels. The boat cruise was nice and showed the main parts of the city. Many language options were provided and the boat had the heat on, which was very appreciated as it was cold outside. I would have rated the experience 5 stars, if not for the lady they employ. She was not only unhelpful when I got confused with the ticket and called the "help" number - she didn't know anything about the service they provide (she said they don't have packages with museums and do only cruises - not true), but also kept sending me to deal with TripAdvisor (including the time when she told me that it was my responsibility to call TripAdvisor about wrong information posted about this experience and not their company - what?! definitely not true!), - but also yelled at me multiple times. It would have been ok if she just got confused with services - happens, - but being yelled as an adult by another adult and her not realizing the ridiculousness of sending the client to deal with their vendor is an extremely strange and unpleasant experience. The rest of the employees were nice though.
