Due to negligence by staff working on the dock we almost ended up on the wrong boat. We also expected more cheese but the great wine and the fun we had thanks to our guide Sophia made up for it. That woman is so funny and can multitask!!! Thanks to her and Isabel I would still recommend it.

The tour offers a slightly different perspective on the city than walking through the streets; the guides are friendly, the cheese is good (which isn't hard, since all the cheese here is delicious), and the wines are decent and served freely. The "houseboats" are truly fascinating.

An excellent experience on the Amsterdam canals. This tour is definitely worth it, especially when you book it through Headout. I always buy my tour packages through this app, and so far everything has been GREAT.
