I was allowed into the museum 15 minutes before the scheduled time. It's very convenient that the voucher (QR code) is displayed immediately after the reservation is completed. The cruise ships seem to depart every 30 minutes from 9:00 AM to about 3:00 PM, and I felt this price was very cheap for a 75-minute canal cruise and a museum ticket. The captain on the cruise ship explains the famous buildings in English. You can enjoy an audio guide in your preferred language by plugging earphones into each table. Clean earphones were given to me when boarding. It seems like you can see famous buildings better if you sit on the left side of the boat.

The main tour is in English. If you need a tour in a different language, we recommend bringing headphones. QR codes are available on the walls to scan and select different language guides. If you handle alcohol well, be sure to try the beer here. In addition to the 2 tokens you get with your ticket, there's also a tasting opportunity before you get to the bar. Heineken in Amsterdam really does taste different than overseas – it's not bitter and goes down smoothly. Remember to use the restroom before taking the canal cruise, as the trip lasts about 1 hour and there are only basic toilet facilities available, not on the boat itself. The latest departure time for Lovers Canal Cruises from Amsterdam Central Station is 9 PM, but other companies may have their last cruise at 6:30 PM. The tour commentary along the way can be difficult to follow, but an evening or sunset canal cruise is still a great option.
