      A great start to our holiday BUT make sure you go to the right departure point! There are LOADS & we stood at the wrong one and missed ours. Staff kindly got us on a later one but only just. Amsterdam is so beautiful at night. Would happily go on this cruise again

      It was a very nice tour. Convenient if you don't want to plan your own transportation and you are tight on time. The bus was nice and the sights were quite beautiful. Although I thought the tour was a bit too short. While we were able to see the demonstrations, they are actually provided for free even if you went on your own time. Also, if you choose the later tour, things tend to close at 5, and you won't be able to see as much. But for the sake of convenience it was still a good tour. I would recommend going alone if you want to have more time to yourself and look around at your own pace.

      It was really nice actually and we were happy to given with so many choices of languages. Our captain was nice and funny. It really did take 1 hour as promised. Only thing was that some of the windows were little dirty but we cleaned it with wipes. I am sure if we pointed out, they would cleanup as well. Convenient trip, don’t worry and take it
