Review Summary
People usually say this Amsterdam Saloon Boat Cruise offers a delightful and stylish way to see the city's canals with knowledgeable and friendly guides. The panoramic covered boat with heating is highly appreciated for comfort in cooler weather, while the unlimited drinks and bites option adds value and enjoyment. Positive comments often highlight engaging commentary and the relaxed atmosphere. However, some travelers note the considerable step onto the boat makes it unsuitable for those with mobility issues, and a few mention that the tour duration is relatively short at about one hour. Inclement weather can affect the experience, but the covered boat mitigates this well.
