★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 19,938 reviews · 1h 15m · from $18

Review of Amsterdam’s 75-minute canal cruise, with historic sights, multilingual audio, snackbox options, family extras, and practical tips.

“The experience was a little sad as it was not well attended that particular Sunday morning. I would have appreciated more participants. The audio guide was good. The captain often spoke over what was being offered via the audio which made it hard to follow both. Still, I had a great time being on the water & seeing the city from that vantage point.”

14.Canal Cruise Around Charles Bridge

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,986 reviews · 45 min · from $26

Review of Prague’s 45-minute Charles Bridge canal cruise, with Devil’s Channel, audio guides, drinks, snacks, museum entry, and practical tips.

“This was really fun, there are amazing views of Charles Bridge from the boat and the detour up the Devil’s Channel is really picturesque. You can see all views from both sides of the boat so no need to worry about what seat to choose. There were also some beavers in the river which were exciting to spot. The audio guide was good and the staff were friendly. The free beer and snack were a nice bonus!”
