A perfect end to a day in Amsterdam

The night cruise was the perfect time of day to enjoy the city from the canals. Captain Jack was personable and informative and we learned much more about Amsterdam!

The boat tour was very...

The boat tour was very nice. Our tour guide Merlin was great, knowledgable and with a great sense of humour. I would book this tour again for sure.

Essential

You absolutely must do this activity when you are in Amsterdam and preferably at nightfall, because you get to enjoy the very beautiful interiors, the buildings, and the lights of the streetlamps on the water; an incredible experience, a magical walk.
