Really great canal cruise - got to see lots of the sights whilst sipping on wine and eating Dutch cheese! Good choice of drinks available. Both guides were really informative and interactive, we learnt lots about Amsterdam’s history - the amount of information given and timing of the talks was great, balancing that and giving you time to enjoy the cruise. The hour flew by, would definitely recommend!
