Cruise Amsterdam by night with a four-course dinner, unlimited drinks, canal views, and warm, entertaining commentary from Centraal Station.

“This is an excellent cruise, the food was great, very tasty, the staff were great with a special thanks to Valentina (I think that’s was her name) who made our 25th wedding anniversary all that more special. There was the occasional commentary from the captain, which was not really intrusive but nicely informative. All in all a good balance and a trip I would highly recommend.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 99 reviews · 1 day · from $169

Spend an evening at Amsterdam’s VEGAS dinner show with live music, magic, circus acts, dancers, and a three-course shared meal.

“De show was prima. Eten daarentegen viel tegen. Michelin ster prijzen en hoeveelheid maar de kwaliteit van de All you can eat om de hoek. Wij kregen net zoveel eten met z’n vijven als de tafel naast ons waar twee personen aan zaten, heel vreemd. 2 kleine stukjes kip en een stukje vis verdelen over 5 personen en een klein schaaltje nasi.

Paddle through Waterland at sunset from Amsterdam, then enjoy a generous picnic dinner, local stories, windmills, and quiet Dutch countryside.

“This was easily one of the better "tour"s I've taken in decades of travel; the quotations intentional, as this was more like visiting a friend than a tour. You leave the hustle & bustle of Central Amsterdam behind, and a 6min metro ride & 8min bus ride later, you're in another world. Majel invites you to her home in a town of ~400 people, for a drink and a brief history/geography lesson, then off in canoes in the wetlands. Quiet, serene, beautiful - nothing but you & the birds. A country style picnic (cheeses, wine, fruit, bread) and some 2hrs+ of canoeing, then back on the bus. This was simply…”
