Full description
Explore the beauty of Amsterdam on a canal cruise to see the main highlights like the old buildings, markets, ports, and more before making a skip-the-line entrance to the ice-cold Xtracold Icebar.  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 houseboats. Admire merchant buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries, Amsterdam’s Golden Age, when trade flourished and was reflected in the elaborately decorated façades. Learn more about the Dutch capital while listening to the onboard audio guide, available in 19 languages. 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 canal cruise was interesting and showed some good areas of Amsterdam. Only draw back was the smelly fumes out the back of the boat but that is to be expected. Loved the ice bar! Many people criticising and saying it was a waste of money but I thought it was a fantastic experience and my wife is now obsessed with the nougat and pistachio liqueur.

I can only recommend this combo to everyone. A great boat tour. Through headphones, everyone can experience culture in their own language. The highlight for me was the Icebar. Already grass at outside temperatures of almost 30 degrees - then minus almost 10 degrees. But you can stand it and feel totally refreshed afterwards :)) Drinking from ice glasses - sometimes something different. Great pleasure.

Get to the canal cruise queue early if you’re in a larger group - we were a 7 and didn’t manage to sit together. 3 boats go at once and it’s a great way to spend an hour and you see lots. Our Captain added bits and bobs to the commentary which was great. The Ice Bar is disappointing. Nothing like others we have been to. Very small, thin jackets and damp gloves. Doesn’t set you up for the best experience. Was fun because there was 7 of us and it was part of the package - however wouldn’t book it or go as a ‘stand alone’
