Traveler Tips

Be aware that you will be expected to make a gratuity on disembarking.
If you are doing the Heineken experience and you enjoy drinking, take the tour after going to Heineken because you can start three drinks at heineken and finish up buying and drinking more suring the cruise.
We did the Heineken tour first it's always busy, and then came out and crossed over to the opposite side of the road to take the canal cruise, very convenient!

Enjoyed seeing the canal and the city from the boat. You are stopping me from providing my rating by demanding a minimum amount of words very annoying
None of the speakers...
Paul_C, Oct 2022
None of the speakers worked more than 5 minutes and no food or drinks were provided. The captain had no intention of talking to make up for no narrative. Totally disappointed.
Could be better.
Lilia_D, Sep 2022
I chose these boat company because they had , what seems a closed top over their boats. They did, but didn’t have any air conditioning. It was hot hot hot! The tour around the city was ok. We couldn’t wait to get off the boat.

Kathy_I, Aug 2022
Lousy headphone. Not anything seen that was exciting and I would not have know what is was as I heard nothing. Bumper to bumper boats most of the way. Warm with little air flow under glass top.
Half awesome
Sarah_B, Jul 2022
We had a great experience. However the blue boats told us that they were full and unfortunately we didn't get to do that half of the ticket.
Canal cruise.
SONIA_M, Jul 2022
The canal cruise was absolutely amazing, loved seeing parts of Amsterdam that we would have missed on foot. Unfortunately we did not get to the Heineken experience due to misinformation.

Amazing
Josemar_S, May 2022
Fantastic experience, highly recommend. Definitely one of the most great experiences I have ever had in Amsterdam
Only ok
Samantha_S, May 2022
Overall the Heineken experience was ok . Would be better if it was a guided tour . We have been to many other brewery experiences and the guided tours was 100% . The canal experience was also ok . We felt the boat was too low down to view out properly . If your not at the window you could hardly see anything .
Great time
richard_b, May 2022
Really enjoyed great value and very easy with the QR code. The canal trip was good and across the road from the brewery 👍
