Full description

Save time and money on this combined 2-part tour which includes a 1-hour canal cruise of Amsterdam’s waterways onboard a glass-topped boat, and skip-the-line entrance to the ice cold Xtracold Icebar, where everything is made of ice. You can take the tour in one go, or choose to enjoy each option on alternate days for maximum flexibility. As a self-guided tour, explore the city in your own time and see the sights of Amsterdam at a leisurely pace. From the water, enjoy the best views of the canal houses and house boats. Admire merchant buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries, Amsterdam’s Golden Age, when trade flourished and was reflected in the elaborately decorated façades. Sail through the old port to see yet another side of Amsterdam. Then, back on land, enjoy 3 free drinks at the Xtracold Icebar where even the glasses are made of ice.

The cruise was a really fun and informative cruise. The captain was a lot of fun and gave us lots of additional information on top of the recording. The Ice Bar was a really neat and fun experience. The atmosphere and the employees were great. We had fun and enjoyed the show.

You can book the cruise on the day you land but we were offered to take the ride that day we decided to book it for the original booking date. The cruise is an hour you can do Icebar first then the cruise or do it an hour or 2 before your Icebar experience.

Good experience, different experience the ice bar, I advise you to bring a jacket. The coat provided is weak. It's minus 10 degrees. The vodka didn't even warm up. You are entitled to 3 drinks, one at the bar outside on the cold ship's deck and two inside. Vodka or beer.
