A 1-hour Amsterdam canal cruise near Anne Frank House, floating past historic churches and modern museums with audio in English and more.
“The boat itself was fun and comfortable, and the captain was polite, but a bit boring and compared to the other captain I had three years ago, he could have given some additional amusing/interesting facts that would’ve provided some smiles and laughter. Perhaps it was the location in the canal that just wasn’t that interesting. This Canal trip was out of the Anne Frank house. You may be better off, selecting a different location.”
