A very nice and charming canal tour. It’s one of the most peaceful and relaxing ways to experience Amsterdam and see the city from a different perspective. The ride was comfortable, the views were beautiful, and it gave us a chance to enjoy Amsterdam at a slower pace. Definitely recommended for first-time visitors.
