Why book an Amsterdam cruise combo
- See more with less: A combo ticket usually bundles popular attractions with a canal cruise, offering discounted rates compared to purchasing each ticket separately. This is ideal if you plan to visit multiple sights, making your trip more budget-friendly. Instead of booking tickets for multiple attractions separately, a combo ticket simplifies the process.
- Comprehensive experience: Amsterdam is known for its canals, and a cruise allows you to see the city from a different perspective. You’ll get to enjoy scenic views of historic bridges, houses, and landmarks while floating on the water. Combining this with entry to other attractions gives you a well-rounded understanding of the city’s culture and history.
- Customizable options: Many combo tickets offer flexibility in terms of attractions. You can select from different types of cruises (e.g., day, night, or themed cruises) and combine them with visits to top museums, the Heineken Experience, or even the A'DAM Lookout.

- Opt for early morning or late evening cruises to avoid the busiest times. Weekdays also tend to be less crowded than weekends, especially during peak tourist seasons.

We loved the experience. When we arrived at the boat station, we discovered that there was super flexibility in the timetable. So we visited the Heineken factory first and then took the boat trip. The boat was super comfortable and also had an outside area so we could take photos. We also bought a snack, which exceeded our expectations. There was plenty of food and it helped curb our hunger. 😅

Clean and punctual boat. Friendly staff speaking different languages... but not French.
At the start of the tour, headsets are provided and you can either use the boat's audioguide (including a French version) or use your own cell phone with a Qr code.
The tour lasts an hour and a half and covers a good part of the city center.
The landing stage is just opposite the heinecken museum. I recommend this tour. A version with lunch is also available.

We really enjoyed the Tour! The boat was well-maintained and really comfortable. The service was great – and our captain was just amazing: super friendly, happy to answer any questions, and he shared lots of interesting little details on top of the audio tour that we wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. We’d definitely do it again and can wholeheartedly recommend it!

Was a good boat tour for the cheap price. Wasn't an hour, was closer to 40 mins. Saw a decent amount of things. I am not sure we ever passed the Anne Frank house as advertised, and if we did the audio guide did not point it out like it did the other attractions.
