Which company should you use for the canal cruise in Amsterdam? Should you book online or just purchase a ticket before boarding the cruise? Should you take a cruise with a combination ticket....... Anne Frank house and canal?

Thank you.:)

The canal cruises are pretty much the same from company to company. Purchase ticket when you board.

Anne Frank house tickets should be purchased online in order to avoid all the long lines.

The big difference in canal cruises in Amstedam is the choice of an hour-long highlights cruise or a hop-on hop-off museum cruise. Most of the canal boat companies offer both.

 

We pre-ordered the combination canal/Ann Frank deal and were pleased with the results. We considered the HOHO option but we're not generally musum people. The hour or so cruise was adequate. I don't think it matters which company you choose; we randomly chose the Love company and were pleased.

 

The most important thing is to pre-order the Ann Frank tickets. They set an appointment time (with a leeway of 10 to 15 minutes either way). When we arrived, the ad hoc line was around the block. We walked up to the appointment door and were admitted immediately.

 

The rest of the 3 days we walked the city. It's very walkable, but watch out for the bicycles! We discovered a lot of neat nooks and crannies.
