It was a wonderful experience. I recommend it. - If you've been to Amsterdam, you should definitely try it. In an hour, you'll see everything the city has to offer. I also got a good idea of the Japanese earphone guide. Our ship was lucky because the forward third was fully open to the side ceiling. The front left side of the ship is recommended. The captain's commentary is also interesting, so it would be better if you understood English.

Canal cruise - It was boring and difficult to get pictures from the boat, the headsets were awful and some didn’t work or it talked about the place after we gone past it.

Don’t book through Viator! - We booked a one-hour tour starting at the location near the Anne Frank House through Viator. However, when we arrived on time for our tour, the ticket agent at “Lovers” told us there were no tours from that location that day due to the big sailing event. Viator sold us the tickets and never said a word about this! Luckily, he sent us over to the “Lovers” location near Central Station (about fifteen minutes walk away) and they changed our ticket to a tour leaving immediately from there. So, I give the 1 star to Viator. The actual tour was ok. In retrospect I would have taken a tour on a smaller boat with no windows so we could get better photos. The tour itself was a 3-star out of 5. Not bad, but not amazing. The audio was good but we couldn’t see things as well as if we’d been on a more open boat.
