Very informative tour of an amazing city

I would recommend doing this on your first day of travel in Amsterdam. Our captain and guide Lon, did a really great job detailing Amsterdam’s history for us. We had been here for three days and are now looking at the city with different eyes with what we have learned on our canal tour. Excellent way to see the city.

Captain Jack's A1 AMSTERDAM CANAL CRUISE is my top recommendation sightseeing experience in Amsterdam E

We had a wonderful canal cruise with the Captain Jack cruise company. Lon, our boat driver and tour leader, was excellent. His background history of Amsterdam helped the city come alive and really filled out my understanding of its importance in world history. Lon also included lots of personal and sometimes funny anecdotes to further help us understand the city's importance. The drinks and Dutch treats were a nice touch and appreciated by everyone. My husband and I also enjoyed the open air experience of the tour, which made it possible to clearly see important sites.
