Ripley's was full of eye opening articles, facts and stories about his worldwide adventures and the 1hr canal cruise was a good way to see Amsterdam from a different angle.

Ripleys was amazing. We had a great time and probably could have used more than the hour and a half that we set aside for it. The cruise was great also but remember you have to go to their office to set up the time which was a bit confusing when we made the reservation. Would do both again.
