Amsterdam Boat tours

Tickets and tour vouchers were easily obtained. The station staff directed us to Platform B to wait for the tour guide to lead us onto the bus. Sitting upstairs on the double-decker bus provided a better view for the journey. The first stop was Afsluitdijk for a brief 30-minute stay, to learn about the Dutch dam engineering technology that balances the separation of sea and land. The second stop was Giethoorn, first with a traditional 1-hour boat ride, followed by a very generous 2.5 hours of free time to stroll along the small bridges and waterways. Overall, a very satisfying experience, recommended for travelers who don't want to go on their own but want to spend more time in Giethoorn.

The Light Festival is an important 13-year-old festival in the Netherlands. Various artists come to Amsterdam to showcase their light art. The boat tour is very detailed and has heating, making it a very comfortable experience.

The museum visit is an absolute must! The art was absolutely stunning and the experience was well organized! My only critique was the boat trip. It wasn’t clear in the instructions on the voucher where and which company to go to. No one at the museum knew as well. So we unfortunately did not get to do it :(

The ride was fantastic! We missed the ride at 20:00 but the operator was kind enough provide us the next slot (as some people didn’t show up and we got lucky). Thank god we missed as the 21:30 slot was just perfect with brilliant lighting and there was a subtle historic exploration as well. Overall loved it 🤩

itinerary: basically you can see overall Amsterdam’s views and Igor who is the guide is friendly and well explained.
