We started in front of the Anne Frank House. The canal tour is nice and if done in the evening as we did it is more beautiful because the city is all lit up and navigating these canals is very suggedtibo

I discovered you by chance. I chose two activities that worked as expected, on time and quiet. I just suggest a little more information about the app and the meeting point for those who are in the city for the first time.

The captain was great, telling lots of anecdotes in Dutch/English/German/French and Spanish. A great time It's a pity that the boat's windows didn't slide open to take photos.
